I have tried the c lux1 for about a month and sold it on +bay this weekend. (when will they let us trade Leica gear here????)

The pluses were:
-small slip in pocket size
-looong battery life!
-idiot proof

The minuses:
-no optical viewfinder
-no real user control for aperture or shutter speed
-excessive noise above 100 iso

The pictures were actually better on my old panasonic fx7 (kept that camera). I have ordered the Ricoh GRD with a voigtlander 28mm metal viewfinder as replacement for clux-1. But ANY of these cameras are better than none as a carry around in your pocket digital as well as an emergency backup for my M7.
