Camera suggestions for inconspicuous street photography?
I currently use a Nikon dSLR but sometimes this is too noisy and too large for my taste - even with a small prime.
I’m looking for something pocketable, quiet, with a wide angle, and great image quality at f/2.8.
A digital point & shoot is silent and has a great form factor, but I have yet to see one that’s responsive or offers shallow depth of field.
A Leica M? I could live with the price of a used one but these cameras draw *more* attention than my dSLR. Possibly a Voigtlander. Any other rangefinders with a great lens selection?
Point & shoots such as the Contax T2/ T3, Ricoh GR1, Yashica T4/ T5 etc. all seem to have drawbacks of their own (mostly lacking features or a p.i.t.a. user interface). They’re also all getting fairly old for a used electronic device. Any new stuff?
What would you use?
I have found the same thing you have. My Leica M3 is an attention magnet when on the street. People are so used to seeing small digital cameras that the sight of an old fashioned rangefinder draws a crowd. I prefer TLRs for street work but they can be a draw as well. I often use my Kodak DX7630. Compact and enjoys a very sharp Schneider lens.
No camera is perfect. Point and shoots suffer from terrible shutter lag however I have found the small sensor an asset. I typically zone focus and use a small aperture. Long, long depth of field. Handy.
You can't beat a T4 for image quality and I think some have a viewfinder on top of the camera.
You might look into the Pentax Auto http://cgi.ebay.com/Pentax-Auto-110-Camera-w-24mm-f2-8-Lens-No-Reserve_W0QQitemZ260343233568QQihZ016QQcategoryZ709QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
