Full manual aperture besides AE. 2.Yashica T4 - excellent 35mm Tessar -Good price unfortunately not produced more. 3.Olympus Miu -also called Epic- one of the best value -by far- for the money 4.Pentax Efina- APS. Truly tiny! Never quit my wife's bag -a toy- 5.Pentas 110 reflex - a true miniature camera 6 Konica A4 -my first AF tiny camera 7.Canon Ixus -the first APS camera- 8.Nikon Rollei 35AF -not so tiny but with a nice 35mm f2,8 .In my daughters hands. 9.Minox 35 -actually in my nephew hands as I had difficulties setting manual focusing and aperture- Probably one of the better? I'm not sure if I forget someone, I think not. I don't like Contax T, Minolta TC1 and Nikon 35 or 28TI for the exaggerated price however the excellent lenses nor the Leicas p&s by the same reason. Probably are the best but I believe they are not reasonable buy. Regards Felix PS Karen: Never are too many cameras!
