I've used an Olympus clamshell for years as a sort of travelling sketchbook, but the lens quality just isn't what I'd like (my "real" cameras are Canon F1, T9, with FD lenses which are sensational) so I'm in the market for something as handy but with better (ie sharper, color balanced) lens quality. I'd like some real world users' opinions on this little Leica model versus Nikon Lite Touch zoom (various focal lengths available) and the Canon Sureshot models. It may be a matter of choosing between longer range telephotos (up to 140 for the Nikon) which I'd like and a narrower range (the C1's 35mm-70mm) for Leica lens superiority, if that's the case. If you can offer useful comparative experience on these, I'd be very interested. If this isn't a suitable list question, reply to me directly please. Many thanks in advance. - -- Jeanne D.
