I have not seen results of photos taken with the Mini 3 yet, but if you can get a Mini 2 at discount it's well worth it. Picture quality is excellent. After seeing my friend's pictures with his Mini 2, I borrowed one and a Minizoom from the local photo shop and tested them compared to a couple of other small point'n'shoots. The little Leicas won nicely over their Olympus and Nikon competitors, not only on the strength of the lens quality but on the exposure system and focus quality as well. I selected the Minizoom, trading a little lens speed for a little more flexibility -- the lens quality is identical. Godfrey
