Buying guide

Designed for natural-light photography: in NP mode the camera compensates exposure for fast film (ISO 1600, or ISO 800 on the Classica) so flash is often unnecessary. The f/2.8 wide end is fast for a zoom compact. A limited White edition of 3,000 was made in 2010. Test the zoom mechanism and check the lens for internal dust.
