plastic

I've been having the same problem, specially on the portable side. I have a canon rebel

digital (xt - 8pm) which is pretty good for it's "sector" (price, size, etc). For lighter use

however I tried a lumix lx2 and was quite disapointed mainly with:

enormous depth of field (everything is almost alsways in focus)

handling of contrast (specially in open shade)

noise (which actually didn't bother me too much, but still...)

I have been awaiting eagerly for a big chip on a portable camera, but may end up with

film... Any sugestions are also welcome.

I also like using portra 800 and shoot process as 400, really vivid colors, so may be

unpleasant to some...

The T2 is definetly a great camera. I also owned the minilux (great pics but annoying dial

control that was too easy to turn on, making the lens try to pop out in your jacket). And

the rollei 35. I would say imho that all 3 are equal and great point and shoots. Have been

trying to find a portable digital equivalent and can't...

Here's some of my pics:
