Hello Brian,

I already have a M3, M2, M4-P, CL, CLE, 3f and a 3c, so I know exactly 
what you mean.
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.
