Just for grins, I've been reading a lot lately about various premium compact film cameras. Tiny gems like the Contax T2, Fuji Klasse, Fuji Natura S, Nikon 35TI, Konica Hexar RF/AF, Minolta TC-1, ranging from $400 USD to $1,300+. Wow! Even the plastic Kyocera/Yashica T4 Super demands huge $$$. Granted most of them are like Swiss watches in their builds, with titanium bodies and premium lenses like the Zeiss Tesar 35mm/2.8. As much as they are drool-worthy, the images I've seen on Flickr, while nice, don't seem to bear out the premium prices demanded. I think for the betterment of my wallet, I'll stick with my $50 Olympus 35RC.
Agreed, prices of these compacts are vey high for the apparent features and results. I've very happy with my Olympus XA2 and Fuji zoom date 2.8 as compact options.
