Subject: [Leica] Leica P&S questions
From: "Andre E. Purdy" <andre@fhai.com>

I'm in need of a P&S camera for an upcoming trip to Paris.  My
requirements are as follows:

Reasonably compact and rugged
Affordable <$350
Night/low light capable
- -fast lens (zoom or fixed)
- -fairly long shutter times (T or B mode)
- -remote shutter release
Competent AF/AE for snapshots

As of right now I'm leaning towards:
- -Leica Z2X
- -Remote shutter release
- -Slik U2000 tripod

I'm sure a Leica Minilux would be perfect but unfortunately I'm also on
a pretty tight budget (gotta save some money for the actual trip).

My question is this can I do better in the sub $350 range?  What about
skimping on a used Leica Mini or Mini Zoom (couldn't find any specs on
these)?  Where can I find used Leicas (either on the web or in lower
Michigan)?

I haven't owned a camera since Junior High School and I could use all
the help I can get.

Thanks.
