7MP, quality optics, any optical zoom whatsoever, image stabilization and even reasonable video capabilities.

Yeah, because the Leica M3 has all of those things...

Now all I need is a brown Fedora with a piece of cardstock in the brim that reads, "Press."

There's cute, there's retro, and there's cheesy. What makes this camera fall into the latter category is the substandard electronics package. Putting the Leica name on this is like putting lipstick on a pig. I'd be all over it today if it had 7MP, quality optics, any optical zoom whatsoever, image stabilization and even reasonable video capabilities. Instead I think I'll wait two years and pick it up in a 99 cents store as a novelty for my kid.

That is kinda cool.

Just the thing for that next tiny retro press event!
