Re: [Leica] Question re: Z2X

Hi there,
I don't have any P&S camera except the ricoh R1.  I use my neighbor Leica 
Minilux and Leica Minilux zoom. both of them are superb in optical quality.  
I know that you are limited in budget to $300.  My suggestion is that save a 
little more and shoot for Leica minilux zoom.  you can buy it at 
www.deltainternational.com.  they have a good price with MACK warranty.  I 
heard that contax are good too but never try before.
Olivier
