DESC: The LEICA C1 quickly proves itself as a reliable companion in a world full of visual stimuli that often demand the ability to make an on-the-spot decision: Wouldn't now be just the right opportunity to take a picture to make this special moment last a lifetime? All too often we experience situations at work or in our leisure time when a compact high-performance camera would be wonderfully useful. Not only does the LEICA C1 satisfy all these needs, it does so with exquisitely refined style. Right from the start, its rugged aluminum body fits comfortably and securely in the palm of your hand, and its pleasingly rounded edges assure ergonomic handling. The clean lines of its shape are reminiscent of the legendary LEICA M camera system.
