Yes, I have one of those and it is certainly a very capable camera. It is not 
much bigger than a 35mm SLR. It is in fact a rangefinder camera, with a 
non-interchangeable f4/60mm lens. It does have one annoying quirk: the 
viewfinder is vertical, so if you want to shoot a horizontal image, you have to 
hold the camera vertically. I find this a bit awkward.

Cheers,
Nathan
