I'm only looking for a nice P&S camera for my wife and thought:why not stick to the good old Leica? Of course the mini's have nothing to do with a M6, but they have the name Leica on them, so I suppose I can ask questions about them. If you have any serious comment on these cameras I'm glad to read about it. Kind regards, Michiel.
