Snap Photos Like Bond With The Mini Minox Digital Camera

Have you ever heard of Minox? In typeface you haven't, they're actually camera-makers from way back in the day since the 1920s. The party produced a subminiature camera that was originally intended as a luxury item but ended up gaining a report for being exploited as a spy camera.

That fact was stamped into movie history when the dapper James Bond used the Minox more than once during his outrageous missions on the big screen.

Minox has since come up with a legion of other cameras and have kept up with the multiplication by releasing digital cameras that resemble the conception of these well-known vintage cameras, the latest of which is this Digital Classic Camera (DCC) Minox 5.1 which is a miniature-sized reproduction of the Leica M3.

The project itself is impressive, capturing even the tiniest details of the vintage camera to a T. However, the old-world resemblance stops there. Inside the retro design is a digital camera that uses state-of-the-art technology to reach you great looking shots with a punch.

The DCC Minox 5.1 looks like a toy but I don't reckon a toy can get photos and videos with a 5.1 megapixel resolution and show them for the user to write on its 2-inch screen, right? The camera has a German-engineered glass lens and a sophisticated attachable viewfinder on top. It too has a slot for an SHDC memory card which make a content of up to 16GB. Now that's a whole lot of photos.

You can take to fit the DCC Minox 5.1 with accessories to gain its functionality and use your camera with some added features. For example, the teleconverter and wide-angle converter can be used t add more dimension and a cool perspective to your photos. You can also equip it with the camera flash attachment just in typeface you want to conduct a nip in an environment with poor lighting.

Here are the features of the DCC Minox 5.1:

• Minoctar 9.0mm glass lens with 4x digital zoom (equivalent to a 42mm lens on a 35mm camera)
  5m, 1m and infinity distance settings
