It is smaller, it remembers your settings and has a much better vf with info. If you really want to go small I'd say a Contax T. BTW, I have one for sale:-) The Rollei and Minox only have gues focusing. What about a canonet? Maybe to big. A Ricoh GR is nice and very small if you like wide angles. Cheers, Michiel Fokkema
