Summary
One of my choice for the compact/rangefinder cameras.
I think the best in market together with Nikon 28ti and to be honest I like the Fujifilm Klasse but can't say is the best as I didn't use yet, hopefuly soon.
I like this camera more for the analog display on top instead of digital one.
It's well performed, clever flash professional features,data etc.
Simply you need to own this if you still fancy 35mm and trying to avoid using big SLR cameras.
Strengths
Top quality.
Weaknesses
None.

Summary
It's a funny little camera, really. Quite bling. It's really quite beautifully put together, has a fantastic lens, but is somehow dissapointing in a way I can't quite put my finger on...
I would say that I've messed up more shots with this camera than any other. It's really easy to accidentally turn on data imprinting, which basically prints the date on the image, and tells you nothing of exposure or camera settings. Very annoying. It's also very easy to accidentally slide the panorama slider across, which masks off the top and botton of the frame - also very annoying. Another very annoying thing is the fiddly menu system for changing things like the metering mode or flash beviour. I actually have the settings printed and laminated in credit card size for my wallet. The meter also needs to have two thirds of a stop underexposure permanantly dialed in for slides, which is fine becasue at least it's predictable, and setting remains even after the camera has been switched off. It also badly underexposes in low light, compared to any of my other cameras. Did I mention the flash bottons? Very annoying. As is the flash recharge time.
Despite all of this, I love it. After many ruined shots and much swearing and wishing I still had my Contax T2, I've finally got to grips with this thing. I've even put a tiny drop of super glue on the bottom of the panorama switch to keep it from moving. I'm just waiting for the Sigma DP1 to come out before I sell it...

Summary
This was a great camera for snapshots, but highly unreliable. Mine has broken down at least twicw and hasn't operated for years. I expected more from a Nikon.
