Waaaait just a minute. It's a Leica, it's a thing of beauty and it has great glass, but I was sorely disappointed in it. I need a camera that I can drop in my pocket with the car keys and go. This ain't it. It's a little on the thick side for that, but I can live with the size. This has nothing to do with size. It's sturdy and has weight. I'm all for that, but by getting it in and out of my pocket I ran into a few issues. Twice the auto film rewind was triggered. Three times the battery cap unscrewed and almost every time the... more info
Leica CM - Probably the best P&S in the world.... Eventually I got fed up of lugging hefty kit around, but still loved using Fuji Velvia, so I decided to buy a decent Point & shoot. After reading the reviews on here I went for thhe leica CM Compact. What a camera. It puts every other camera that I own in the shade.

One reviewer mentioned that the pictures... more info
One of the Best Premium Point and Shoot Cameras If Kyocera has discontinued the Contax T3, then the Leica CM camera must rank as the finest premium point and shoot (P/S) camera currently available. Its 40mm f2.4 Elmarit lens is one of the finest ever made for a P/S camera, offering image quality which rivals other recent lens designs for both the Leica M rangefinder and R SLR systems. The image quality is absolutely superb, judging from the photographs I have seen. Although it is a relatively expensive camera in its class to acquire, it is well worth the... more info
My Best Camera Ever I have a range of top quality Canon lenses, but I stop using them since I got Leice CM. The optics of Leica CM is just better. Some pictures really look 3D. Leica CM "size-to-quality" ratio is much better than anything I have seen. You can put it in your pocket, and you will not know it is there. It is a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes. But it is not just the size, it is my first choice for sharpens as well. For all mu "normal" photos, when no close-up or no-zoom is require, it I is my fist choice.
