Minox slims down with the DC 7411

Let's not get carried away here, Minox. We can understand the slim, 18.5mm-thick form factor, and the 7.2 megapixel sensor and 3x zoom seem certainly par for the course, but a 3-inch LCD? It's almost like you guys are trying to build a competitive camera here. Electronic image stabilization and face detection? Let's all keep heads here, people! No need to do anything rash. There's no word on price or availability yet, so perhaps you guys can still manage to work in some true lameness between then and now.

Don't be so quick to knock it. I bought their very nice http://www.minox.com/index.php?id=1611&L=1 for a relative, and it is in fact, excellent - offering more features than expensive cameras from Sony and Panasonic - with excellent image quality and speed to boot. It even has a wide angle 28mm zoom lens and the build quality is excellent. Came with 1GB SD card, TV out cable, USB 2.0 cable and more. And it cost only £130.

Wow! Minox is still in business? They used to make spy cameras with film.

It looks kind of like a rebadged Casio...

I lot of companies hopped on the digital camera bandwagon w/o actually making cameras. You'll see the same pac-rim product with a half dozen names.

And why are we drooling? I thought Minox was marketed as SMALL cameras, this is the size of a bar of soap, My current camera is a third that size???????
