Decisions

[1750Shooter]

OK, I'm still struggling with P&S choices. I'm looking for a high quality camera for daily carry & use. I don't want to spend more than about $450.00. I've narrowed the choices to: Leica CM, Fuji Klasse, Ricoh G1S, Contax T2, or Yashica T4. Some "narrowing" huh! I'm open to any suggestions or advice. I had thought about a CL, but couldn't afford it. I will. Be using it mostly for street. & landscape shots. Thanks for any help or advice.

From the mentioned, I'd always go for the GR1(s),

While maybe not the most advanced, from a technological point of view (I'm looking at you, Klasse) it's the most pocket friendly advanced P&S you can get in that price range and with it's well laid out controls, it's very easy to handle, too. The focus pre-sets are very good (though at least the Contax and Klasse offer a stepless system) and are changed within seconds. Only thing against it: The LCD, which is known for byting the dust, sooner or later.

If you don't mind carrying an extra bag, the others don't fall back that much either, though I never understood the hype about the Yashica (had a T4 and T5).
