Mainly architectural stuff, but will be doing lots of studio stuff next term so I don't mind a slower camera. I shoot a lot a night with a 35mm slr too so I just want more quality really.
I just found with the hexar that its too slow and I had a hard time relying on the autofocus, always second guessing. I mainly shoot portrait though, hardly ever landscape.. :-S

Hmm, you'll have to see what's your best option in that price range for what you're going to need it for.
Fuji also made some nice 6x45 rangefingers, the GS645 series..
Or, if square format is an option - maybe a Rolleiflex?

Might be worth looking into getting the shutter release button cleaned, it's a common problem with a simple solution, there are good videos on YouTube. I had mine cleaned for about £70 but it's still a bit funny so I suspect it might be something else. Still love the camera although I've missed a few shots because of the problem. I think I've decided the Leica minilux is my fave point and shoot camera due to it's fill in flash and manual focus control. Hexar for when I have time and for travel because it's so solid.

..what do you want to shoot with it?
I'm a big fan of the 645, and you can definately find one in good condition for less than 300.
More suitable though for slower things I guess, and shooting upright format with these is not cool.
