About the Author

I am an expert from Frbiz Site, usually analyzes all kind of industries situation, such as lumix panasonic dmc fx07 , canon rebel xt body.

What are some similar cameras to Contax T3, Ricoh GR-1, hexar af...?

But cheaper!

I'm looking for a camera that can have a very flu background when focused on something. (Sorry for my bad egnlish, I don't know much lol I tried to explain)
Also easy to use and not a rangefinder possibly...

Olympus Mju II.

You might actually be better with a mini-rangefinder from the 70's such as a Minolta Himatic 7s2 or similar, very good lens, more useful 45mm (longer lenses have potential for shallower depth of field)

There are lots of models out there, some good, some mediocre.

The Himatic 7s2 hasn't went too nuts for price yet, and is one of the best.
