Hi,

Just got some information on the latest C1 compact camera for anyone
interested.  They may actually have a winner here :

- -    Outer housing is made of extremely durable metal;
- -    Vario Elmar f4-10.5/38-105mm;
- -    Auto & manual focus from infinity to 0.8m;
- -    Center weighted metering;
- -    1/30 - 1/500 shuttle speed, up to 99s;
- -    Flash range 0.8-3.35m with 38mm, or 0.8-1.24m with 105mm(ISO 100);
- -    Viewfinder field equivalent to 85% of film(what does that mean?)
- -    Self-timer 10 sec;
- -    Width 129.5mm/Height 67mm/Depth 46mm;
- -    Weight 260g without battery.

Its also interesting to note that Fotohobby Germany is already selling them
online at around DM850.

I think I'll probably get one!!!

Cheers,
