Good camera for a buck...2001-10-19
I try to stay away from APS in general. It was a gift from me for my mom since she wanted small easy camera with an average zoom. It's a simple design with suprisingly good picture quality. Automatic flash does the great job in mixed lighting environment. Pictures are sharp and crisp. Color saturation is outstanding. Even if APS film is limited and negative size is smaller than regular 35mm film I was really amazed by the quality. My mom who is not the most technical person had no problems operating the controls or loading the camera. It was a piece of cake for her in no time. Also very nice weatherproof box that came with the camera protected the piece in the rain. Leica did a really nice job and even if the camera is little bigger than elphs and nikon nuvis it is worth every penny.

I very rearly shoot with point and shoots I prefer medium format cameras as well as 35mm SLRs but about now Im thinking about getting one of those Leicas as my pocket snap shot/ location scout piece.

Lots of fun. And looks stylish.2001-08-11
When I saw this camera for the first time I was probably the victim of irrational thought processes, seduced by the stylish minimalism and the Leica Logo of course.

However, after almost a year of use I have been really impressed by how easy it is to take good quality snaps. I always use good quality 400 and 800 film to avoid the use of flash and regularly load up with Kodak B&W 400 Advantix for excellent Black and white shots.

I have taken school sports day photos, holiday snaps, B&W panoramic landscapes on misty mornings in Cornwall and party snaps / candids and all types of photos between. The Leica performs without fuss, is easy to use, has incredible battery life and looks stunning. The case is virtually waterproof (heavy shower resistant anyway) and tough. The Fuji mechanism and lens is smooth and has never failed. Superb.

(I also use Minolta SLRs , Ricoh GR1s and Yashica T5 compacts and the Leica C11 stands up well in this company.)

Nice looks....OK pics2001-04-18
I am not sure if it's the camera or ASP film but the pics the camera took were on par with a cheap 35mm camera. I tried ASP film from both Fuji and Kodak 100,200,400. Before this camera I had an Olympus Stylus Zoom. Now that was an excellent P&S camera. This is my first Leica, they are suppose to be good, but I don't know. The camera looks great, a little bulky but unfortunately I cannot recommend it.
Leica's first APS camera is excellent for what it is2000-11-30
I bought this camera the first week it came out because I thought it looked fantastic, and, well, I really like Leica cameras. This is my first APS camera and I really like it. It takes very nice pictures, although not on the same quality level as my Leica Minilux 35mm P&S, and it is very easy to use. Best of all, the auto focus system is very fast and accurate. If you want a stylish APS camera this one is worth considering. The quality is high, the finish is outstanding, and the feel is that of a very well made device. Although it is not as small as the Elph (Canon) it is a very portable camera that is fun to shoot. Too bad APS film choices are so limited :-( If you want super-high-quality images, however, I'd recommend a 35mm camera as the small APS negative size (24mm) will never match the 35mm in quality. For standard 4X7 images though, it is nice and the APS design is sooo easy to use (and store).
