I like it very much. I have taken both color print and slide pics with it and find it does a very credible job. I also took some companion pictures with an M6 and 35mm/1.4 ASPH at f/3.5 or so. They were somewhat sharper with the M6, but not all that much in small prints. On projection on a 70" x70" screen you would not particuarly know the diference unless you directly compared them both one after the other. The minilux has an adequate maximum f/3.5. It is easy to hand hold for availible light work. The flash is rather weak, even for "family" type of shots. It is small and can go everywhere. A very credible camera. Make in Japan, BTW. Perhaps have other experiences that will be helpful to you. Dick Hemingway Norman, OK
