[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm in need of a P&S camera for an upcoming trip to Paris. My requirements are as follows: Reasonably compact and rugged Affordable <$350 Night/low light capable - -fast lens (zoom or fixed) - -fairly long shutter times (T or B mode) - -remote shutter release Competent AF/AE for snapshots As of right now I'm leaning towards: - -Leica Z2X - -Remote shutter release - -Slik U2000 tripod I'm sure a Leica Minilux would be perfect but unfortunately I'm also on a pretty tight budget (gotta save some money for the actual trip). My question is this can I do better in the sub $350 range? What about skimping on a used Leica Mini or Mini Zoom (couldn't find any specs on these)? Where can I find used Leicas (either on the web or in lower Michigan)? I haven't owned a camera since Junior High School and I could use all the help I can get. Thanks. - -Andre - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
