Minox's new 7 megapixel DC-7011

The inevitable bar-raising of low end tech now sees even crapcams rocking semi-advanced features spendier users have enjoyed for, well, nigh on years. Minox's new DC-7011 has a 2.5-inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, and 7 megapixel sensor, USB 2.0, PictBridge support, even a top-mounted mode wheel -- yet still somehow manages to look like like something you wouldn't pay more than $75 for. Our advice to you: you probably shouldn't.

Looks exciting but I don't see anything good about it excpet that it is 7 MP's?

Brand name is really important when it comes to digital cameras. Never heard of Minox before.

Never heard of the Minox brand before? I'm sure whichever company is churning out these plastic POS's slapped the name on there just for the recognition factor.

NEVER HEARD OF MINOX!?

Minox are world famous. I can't believe you haven't heard of Minox. They were the 'it' camera. They were famous for being THE spy camera.

Please don't comment like that again DM and make yourself look a complete photographic noob.

As for the camera above. It's case is sooooo disappointing!! Looks so cheap and tacky. The title should be- "I can't belive it's a Minox".
