Leica C2

Does anyone use the Leica C2 35mm compact? Please share your opinions about it, I think it's one of the best P&S cameras around.

Juergen: I have used the Leica C1 since it came out, which is basically the same camera. I was sceptical at first about a Leica P/S camera, having owned Leicas for over 35 yrs from IIIa to M3. I must say that I am very pleased with the results which I have had since the start. The Vario Elmar is a nice lens and the view- finder is excellent. Most of my shooting is pictorial, and I do not do any low-light or night/inside shots. The handling and convenience are excellent and it goes everywhere with me.

Hi Juergen, I bought one to my brother, a year ago. It's a lovely little camera that delivers properly exposed images with overall quality that, to my taste, is enough for A5-size prints. Only one bad note: the viewfinder is so tiny that it needs to be "searched for" by moving the camera around. Pretty annoying for me.
