It is not always a good idea to use two or three thousand pounds (dollars) worth of camera for every picture taking project. Nor is it always possible or advisable to use something as large or slow in use as a Leica rangefinder camera or a 35m slr. Sometimes an pocketable autofocus camera such as a Minilux or Mini 3 is the ideal tool for the job. It depends what you're doing, and where you are. Joe Berenbaum
