: Many people here also like the Hexar, they use for snap shot, but I
: don't understand the reason why people need a big P&S. With this size
: I'll simply take a OM40 with 35/2.

Apart from lens quality, there's one big difference between the Hexar AF with
its famous silent mode and an OM-40 with 35/2: "CLICK!!!!!!". The Hexar is even
more silent than the M6.

: The max shutter speed of 1/250s is also too low for me.

Of course, you are not supposed to put 400ASA film in it on a bright sunny day
;) 64 ASA film is a much better choice. Of course (2) if everything else fails
an ND filter can be used.
