I like my current P&S with functions like focusing, selectable aperature
(AE), exposure compensation, capable to use external flash, titanium body,
able to add on filter or lens hood, very silent shutter / motor advance, and
a good 28-56 zoom lens....
Yes, it is the Contax TVS.
Most P&S these days comes with 35mm or 38mm lens with is not wide enough for
me, ideally 28mm is the best IMHO.
Cheers
