All said and done, I like my mini Leica . . ., November 11, 2009

I like it because it gives me pleasure when I whip it out of my bag and take a picture. I don't keep it as a conversation piece. I don't care about party convo or what other people think about my little camera. I'm a camera lover and get a kick out of this camera, it's as simple as that. I have more serious cameras in addition to this mini that take better pictures. I like the size and weight, it's easy to keep in my bag for quick pictures when I'm running around town. I'm not one for cell phone cameras, so this is a good compromise. The pictures are grainy when blown up, but sometimes I like that effect. The colors are sometimes wonky, esp. the blues (too blue), but I also like that effect at times, too. This type of distortion in photos can be accidentally beautiful. It's not extremely well-made. I keep a small piece of duck tape over the memory card door because it kept popping open. Also, the little rubber cover that protects the socket for the USB cord keeps popping open. Minox could improve these things in future versions (are you listening Minox?). Is it overpriced? Hell, yes. It's a personal thing, this camera. You'll know it if you need it. People who are skeptical or wondering should probably pass on it.
(Oh, and I have the flash. It works. It gives off some pretty harsh light, but if you shade it just right with your hand you can get some decent indoor pictures. The flash is a huge attachment, tho, bigger than the camera itself, kind of awkward and funny.)
