The Leica 18069, commonly known as the Leica V-Lux 5, is a versatile bridge camera designed for both amateur and professional photographers. One of its main features is the powerful 20-megapixel sensor that captures high-resolution images with remarkable detail. The camera is equipped with a 25-400mm equivalent zoom lens, allowing users to shoot everything from wide-angle landscapes to close-up portraits seamlessly. This extensive zoom range is complemented by a fast autofocus system that ensures sharp focus, even in challenging lighting conditions.
