I have to admit that both in terms of ergonomics and handling as well as in the optics, the T2 is better. I got back 2 rolls of Provia shot with both cameras, and the contrast and edge to edge sharpness of the T2 was impressive. I can't say the same about the minilux unfortunately. But then again, that was just a personal "test" not anything deep. hope this helps.
