Leica C-Lux 3 opinions

[RobinBanks]

I've been offered a used one by a friend for what I consider a good price (£140). Is it worth it? The only camera I own is my phone (Sony Xperia Z2) which I find pretty excellent.

Is it worth £140 and carrying a camera AND phone or should I just stick with my phone?

Looks like it came out in 2008 - I would imagine there has been some leaps forward in compact cameras in that time. Whether it compares to your phone I don't really know.

Also, there is probably some premium for the name - you can probably get something newer and better even for £140!

That's what I was thinking. It looks from one article that it's based on a Panasonic but with a better lens.

I must admit that I'm only bothered because it would be cool to have a Leica
I'm no photographer - I haven't taken a photo for probably about 8 weeks

I'm being a bellend, I think that that is obvious!
It was just offered to me and I have no idea if it's good or not. Somewhere I have a Praktika film thing with a Carl Zeiss lens from the early 1980s but I haven't used it for years.

I kind of like cameras but I get bored quickly. Mostly because I'm a terrible photographer!

The best photos I've ever taken are some landscape shots from my old phone (Sony Xperia Z1).

Thanks for the replies, I think I will give it a miss!
