Konica S3 (http://www.cameraquest.com/kons3.htm) is a rangefinder with shuntte preferred also no manuel mode. It has 38mm/f1.8 Hexacon a very nice lens. I think it will be more small than canonet. But also full metal construction.

The Canonet 28 is either Auto or Aperture Preferred. No manual mode. And probably not as good as (but I've not compared shots) as the G-III or the Pentax. But still a good rangefinder and very compact. Is the Konica a rangefinder or a point & shoot? Sincerely, C.
