LC-A got me into photography though, before that I had a pretty good manual SLR and knew how to use it and how to develop and print, but I didn't use it that much. When I got an LC-A I carried it around pretty much everyday for a few years. Nothing feels as good to use, to me. Click-zone focus, one-handed control of everything from lens-cap to shutter-button, going from a cold start to taking a photo in less than 2 seconds, and intuitive playing around like covering the photocell to force long exposures. I loved it. Unfortunately the quality of the lens is really not that good - what you'd expect given the size of it - and I got tired of that and the distortion.
In short, great to use, but frustrating image quality.
