Hi
I used both - the 107 and the 108.
I'd always prefer the 108 for it gives you manual control when not using AE. The 107 doesn't.
Both cameras are built-in-hand, not very solid but quite light-weight and : They only use standard-batteries (AAA-type) instead of special photo-batteries (where you never know, how long they'll be produced).
They have a winder integrated - like the Contax 137. This winder is not as quiet as the Contax but much less noisy than most other winders I heard ! - that is : They're quite quiet!
I like them as an affordable backupand as a camera you can give someone to get a shot (just press the button).
Something else : You never know, what exposure-time the AE has chosen - it's not shown ! Stupid - if you ask me...
Perhaps someone else has a different opinion ?
