Hello,

Since many people mentioned other cameras than Leica cameras, I think I
want to recommend potential compact camera buyers to pay some
attention to Konica Hexar.  I was going to buy either 35Ti or Minilux
until I tried all in B&H.  Guess what?  I bought a Hexar instead.  In
terms of features/price, I think Hexar beats every p/s in its class.
Just to mention some advantages that Hexar has:
1. f2.0 aperature
2. able to put 46mm CPL or other filters (just like G-1)
3. "no time-delay" when the photo is taken (I forgot its real name)
4. better viewfinder (much better than Minilux and G1 in my opinion)

I am a little disappointed that no one has mentioned Hexar regarding
to this topic.
