We can't use an external flash unit. We can't control film rewind -- as far as I know. The shutter speeds are usually not indicated in the viewfinder on the models I checked out. And I prefer a minimum aperture of 2.8 (except for the Minilux at a prodigous cost), which none of the zooms have. I assume new versions will improve or incorporate these features. I wrote to Solms about the unsealing of the Leica compacts some months ago. Hot shoes on all Leica P&S's! Bob
