This is a fine piece of industrial art, with ease of operation, excellent optical qualities and ergonomics that feel like butter, but they dropped the ball regarding durability. The battery containing location's door is poorly designed and has broken. Fixing it a few times with epoxy, we finally gave up using the camera. Why not build durable QUALITY into the effort mr product designer guy, rather than just making a good looking chassis? What good is it when the battery compartment is built to BREAK?

Strength:

Small, pin sharp lens, bokeh, colours (bit like my Konica Hexar AF), enough possibilities to use with less light. You won't even notice you put in your pocket.

Weakness:

Build quality. Not really an issue here, but that could have been much better..

A true miracle, this little camera. Actually I was looking for a Contax T2, a Minilux or Yashica T4. I was told this camera could easily match the others. And it turned out to be true. A marvelous little gadget, great pin sharp lens, beautiful colours, great bokeh and very, very beautiful B&W pictures.

Exposure and focus are outstanding in a wide
variety of lighting conditions. Ergonomics and
function excellent, Lens optics are superior.

Weakness:

none that I can find

One of the best kept secrets in 35mm P&S cameras.
I have used many (Yashica T4, OM Stylus Epic, Ricoh GR1,
Leica Mini) This camera is the best I have had.

Customer Service
