Skepticism overruled
I am a serious amateur photographer with professional training and own serious digital and film equipment, including film Leicas. My wife wanted me to buy this because it looked cute. It does and it is. After reading the reviews, I thought all I was getting was "cute." But having used it both in decent lighting conditions outside and severe natural light conditions inside, I am impressed and my skepticism has been overruled.
This is not the equal of a good Canon, or other brand of point and shoot with a zoom lens, ISO adjustments, image stabilization, etc., much less a digital single lens reflex. That should be obvious. And if I were buying one camera for general snapshot or travel use, this would certainly not be it.
I think of this as a "fun" camera for someone who owns a decent general purpose camera, point and shoot, or better, film or digital. It has given me some very decent photos which I have printed easily to roughly 8" x 8". Add the cute factor, the fit in your pocket factor, the conversation piece factor, use it with an SD card, and I like it -- a lot.
You should be aware that as delivered, the battery must be charged off your computer. However, it uses a very common battery used in Nokia phones, a BL-5B, so replacement batteries are easily available and so are standard wall current chargers. I have ordered both, but have not received them. This should improve the utility.
Finally, if you believe in lens caps to protect lenses, as I do, you will find that the top of a 35 mm film container with a little tape or something to slightly reduce its diameter will work reasonably well.

Rip-off
This camera should sell for $29.95 at Toy's R-US. The picture quality even under good lighting conditions and setup to "fine" is terrible. Worse if you use the digital zoom, then the images become unbearably pixelated. Any cell phone camera can take better pictures. No flash, no way to change the date, no shutter or apperture priority, and no programs. You cannot charge the camera unless you connect it to your PC or Laptop, so it's not even practical for traveling. The menu is limited and hard to use and the manual is a disgrace. In addition, it has poor workmanship and is made of cheap plastic, the cord is made of the cheapest leather and has an ugly brown color. Mine didn't even come in the nice wooden box! It is not worthy of the Leica name. Don't buy it!

So not worth it..
Once you've got over the cuteness of it, the fact remains that the mini-Minox/Leica takes lousy pictures, is overly difficult to use and (get this!) doesn't do time stamping of picture files. I was very disappointed with this product and wish I could return it somehow..(I can't!)

Plastic Junk
Levers don't work. They are just decorative. Blurry pictures. No focus even. You can't even FOCUS this hundred dollar plus toy. It's not even cute. It's not just plastic, but LOOKS plastic.

Nice Novelty
This camera is very small, but the picture quality isnt that great. You could get a canon with much better quality, for the same price. It takes really nice pictures if you use it correctly, in natural light, outdoor shots. However, if you plan on using indoors, this probably isnt the camera for you, unless you plan on purchasing the Classic Flash also. All in all, a really cool camera for the price.
