David, two things.

#1, Never use "flash camera" and "Leica" in the same breath. :-)

#2, $400- $600 is not going to get you anything in the way of a modern
Leica. You're going to need quite a bit more than that. Depends on what
kind of focal length you are looking to get.

Okay, one more:

#3, Real Leicas don't autofocus. Yet.
