Sub Compact Cameras

[pepper]

Which sub compact cameras would you have in your dream collection?

I'm keeping my Olympus theme going by keeping my Dads XA but am putting the rest of his Minox, Minolta and Balda cameras on ebay.

I've been playing with most of them today whilst getting them ready to auction, taking all the films out, checking meters etc, these small compact cameras are lovely tiny pieces of engineering. Its a shame that the 110 format seems to have died out, as the cameras that were developed for this were for the most part click and go snapshot cameras, but there were some stars in there like the Pentax Auto 110 and the Minolta SLR's

So dream list, my Dads seemed to have consisted of mainly Rollei followed by Minox, Minolta, and Olympus.

If you are talking of 35mm; I have 4 now - Rollei 35, Voigtlander VF101, Oly 35RC and Richo 500G.

All of them are lovely. I love them equally

Hopefully you won't have the Ricoh for much longer

35mm is the only viable option these days.

The Rollei 35S is a lovely little camera but I prefer the design of the Olympus XA, to my mind its cleaner and neater.

I love the Pen F's but they aren't quite a sub compact design.
