Fuji GA645 or one of it's variants. Later production units are supposed to
have better autofocusing in low-light situations. Handles great, lightweight
and folds up flat. Used, they hit $600. No point in bothering with the
others unless you are getting a great deal on one. The later Minox 35s are
under $300, and much smaller than the norm.

G2 is okay, if you don't already own an M. If you do, why bother? If they
ever get around to putting a focus distance display in the finder of the G,
as the GA645 has, it'll be a much more enjoyable camera, IMO.

    For an experienced Leica user who wants a P/S with high quality glass,
    what do you all recommend?  Konica Hexar with 35/2 lens, Leica Minilux
    with 40/2.4 lens, or Contax G2 with 45/2 lens?  Which will provide the
best
    image quality for slides, and which offers the most user control, like
an M6?
