Subject: [Leica] Point and shoot survey.

First of all, I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season and
taking advantage of all the great photo opportunities. Thanks for the
numerous responses regarding customs duties and taxes on overseas
purchases. I've been a lurker up to now, but hope to get more involved
in LUG discussions in the future.

I've noticed that 'point and shoot' cameras are a frequently recurring
topic on the LUG. Has anyone taken a survey of Leica users to find out
which models are most popular and why. I think that many of us would be
quite interested in the results. If it's not too far 'off topic', I
would appreciate your responses.

I currently use a Kyocera T5 (Yashica T4 Super in the US). I bought it
because it was cheap (about 150 USD) and has a wonderful lens. It's also
very small, light and water resistant. I am considering a Ricoh GR-1 in
the near future.

Happy Holidays,
Stan Reinike
