Rollei QZ 35T

The Rollei QZ 35T is a very interesting camera.  It is a high-end 35mm point-and-shoot, but it is also so much more.  First off, the camera was designed by F.A. Porsche and looks the part.  Second, it was design to be a combination of both form and function. 

The body is titanium, making it very rugged.  It houses a Rollei HFT 38-90mm lens (the QZ 35W version had a 28-60mm lens) and this is truly an excellent lens.  The camera was intended to be used in automatic mode but exposure may also be set via shutter priority, aperture priority, or even fully manually.  The camera has a shutter speed dial on top that is normally recessed and flush with the top of the camera, but pressing down on it causes it to pop up for rotation and manual adjustment. 

See, it is nifty features like that that really get us excited about film cameras.  The camera's lens cap even has a remote trigger built into it, but good luck finding one - they tended to be the first thing lost in the field.  

All in all, if you are looking for a unique and high-performing 35mm with mild zoom capabilities, this is the camera.
