Objects of Desire: Minox DSCNov 3, 2008 By Dan Havlik
Ok, it all is rather corny—the DSC model name stands for “Digital Spy Camera”—but there is something appealing about this tiny 5-megapixel stealth shooter. We can’t yet vouch, at all, for the image quality since we only got a few minutes of hands-on time with this Minox at Photokina in September but we can say that the design stays true to form. Features on the Minox DSC are pretty minimal (and, needless-to-say, miniaturized) including a measly micro SD card slot and an attachable flash unit with a built-in 1.5-inch LCD but, as we’ve said before, you’re not buying it for the bells and whistles, you’re buying it for the sleek style. Overall dimensions on the DSC are 3.5 x 1.25 x 0.75 inches. The next time you want to be candid with your photography—very candid—pull the Minox DSC out of your self-destructing briefcase, take a quick snap, and put it back. But don’t forget to retrieve the memory card before your briefcase explodes! Cost: Not yet announced Further information: www.license-to-shoot.com |
