Bob
I have had one of the early minilux models, with Summarit 2.4/40mm lens for
several years.
Good
Tremendous picture and build quality for P&S style camera
Reasonable number of override options if needed
Lightweight with neat belt loop on back of the soft case, easy to carry
Bad
Limited top speed effectively dictates film speed in very bright light
(Arizona, Africa)
In very bright light some noticeable vignetting depending on angle to sun
No facility for lens hood - which might solve the above
Overall
Its become an indispensable travel companion, normally loaded with
Provia/APX100.

Later models may have more facilities. Hope this is useful.
Olaf
