I bought the minilus last year to take to the Mosquito Coast in Honduras. I planned to use my Leica M's for black-and-white and the minilux for record-type slides. Unfortunately the humidity was too much for the minilux and it completely quit working! The Leica-M's worked perfectly. I sent the minlux back under warranty (it was only two months old!), but Leica said it had water damage and refused to honor the warranty. I would have cost almost as much to repair as I paid for it. I now have a very expensive paperweight. This year I am taking an Olympus Stylus (waterproof) as my extra camera. I hope you have better luck if you decide on the minilux - don't take it anywhere with high humidity!
