I wouldn't be at all surprised if most of the negative opinions on the Minilux are coming from folks who do not and have not owned one. I own one and simply love it. The 40mm f/2.4 Summarit lens is outstanding. In fact it is fabulous in my opinion. Someone here mentioned that shutter speeds only go to 1/300. Not true. They go to 1/400. I can have all the control over the camera I want or go to AE, AE aperture priority, auto focus, manual focus, flash, no flash, etc. But one thing I like about it is when I turn it on it is ready to go in any lighting situation. If I am in a hurry to simply snap a photo I won't miss the opportunity with the Minilux. The camera is hell for stout, looks great, feel great, and performs great. I love Minox cameras too. I have several of the 35mm models. They are a bit more compact than the mini-tank Minilux but none of them offer all the feature of the Minilux. Best regards, Don
