Looking for a smalll camera

Pros: Good Lens, Great pictures for a small camera, Yes to carry around. Can change the zoom manually between infinity and 1m.

Cons: You dont get a lens cover and a case and if you want these things you can buy them on Minox home page but they are relly expensive. You cant se the picture on the LCD. Has a build in memory so you cant use any memorycards.

My Leica, My Baby

Pros: The quality of pictures that my Leica M3 2.1 takes is superb. It's super cute, super small, and has many features including a video conferencing option.

Cons: You can't view the picture you just took without downloading it onto your computer. It doesn't come with flash.
