This camera is built in really high quality material, feels solid in every way. It has a very good Zeiss lens. For this small size of the camera, it is giving really good picture quality. The camera is fast also, very fast continuous mode. In aperture priority mode it has only two settings, but it is better than none. I like this camera.
Compact digital cameras don't (or didn't) come much better than this. A very expensive bit of kit in it's day, but good lenses don't come cheap, and the results speak for themselves. The swiveling body means that by holding the camera 'flat', you can use it like an old school, waist-level viewfinder, so you'll get some fantastically relaxed-looking portrait shots. This is simply because you're not looking right in the subject's face, so they're less conscious of having their photo taken. Try it. It works. If you can find one at a reasonable price, go for it. The later u4r is probably even better, due to the higher megapixel count, but don't let that put you off one of these. Both models seem to be pretty rare, so you might not get the choice. And anyway, if you're thinking of buying a decent second hand digital, you've probably already come to the conclusion that megapixels aren't everything, so you shouldn't be put off by the facts and figures on the spec sheets. It might have less pixels than your new camera phone, but there'll NEVER be a phone that can take photos like one of these.Read full review
This is a gorgeous little piece of camera technology - so small, and shiny too ! It takes very nice pictures, and is as easy as anything to use - this was a very expensive bit of kit in its day, made by the parent o company of Contax, who made some of the best pro cameras in the world a few years ago. Its big on design, a great fashion item, and is good at its job - find a mint one and your laughing all the way to a very posh wedding !
stills shows up more modern alternatives. the retune multishot mode is excellant. only limit to shots is the size and speed of sd memory card. also have sl400r even beeter
