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.
Uniden's new UDC-7M cam: now with less crap?
Last time Uniden came out with a camera, we dubbed it the "crapcam," mostly for its superlow price of $100, which seemed a bit sketchy. Today, we came across another Uniden cam for over $200, called the UDC-7M. It's a 7 megapixel, 4x optical zoom, 2.4-inch screen ISO 50 to 800 shooter, and according the company's site it comes with 26.5MB of internal storage -- that's an odd number, no? There's also an SD/MMC card slot for those who can't make do with that paltry internal storage. The cam is for sale -- in one of three bright colors -- direct from Uniden in Japan, and including shipping, costs ¥24,980. But what's the best part of the 7M's listing? You know it's a quality item when at the bottom of the product description, it says: "This product is BRAND NEW" -- just how we like 'em.[Via Far East Gizmos]
