5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific small digital camera, April 19, 2003

The Minox DC3311 has performed very well for me. The pictures are of astonishing quality for the price. There are numerous options that allow a lot of flexibility, and I have found the camera easy and fun to use. It's small enough to fit in my coat pocket on vacation.

There are two problems I've had -- the Viking flash card I purchased from Amazon does not work very well in this camera! I'll be trying to get a replacement from Amazon. PQI, Sandisk, Leaxar or Kingston cards are apparently recommended by Minox.

Also, uploading 33 images to my computer completely exhausted the 4 AA batteries, and I didn't receive a plug-in-the-wall adapter from Amazon. After an e-mail to Leica in New Jersey (the USA rep) they sent one free.

Bottom line: the camera performs well; don't buy a Viking flash card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nifty feature filled with all the Pixels you really need, April 1, 2004

This review is from: Minox DC3311 3.2MP Digital Camera Kit w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

It's an interesting camera made by the Minox folks. The close up is amazing as it is a true "thru the lens" viewfinder, similar to an SLR. Not mentioned is the manual lens cap, remember to remove it. It uses 4 AA cells, lithium last longest. Case is really odd and semi useless, no handle or strap. Camera looks and feels good. Plug in sockets for AC power, usb to pc and video/sound to TV. Menu very complete and easy to control the camera and quick to work with. Optical viewfinder saves battery power, i use it most of the time and have the "preview just taken picture" feature to determine keep/delete. Very accurate in low light. I use a 256Meg SanDisk Compact Flash Ultra 2 (very fast) yeilding 260 "best quality" capacity. Found a better case, using the Tamrac Digital model 5693, belt/shoulder and storage for batteries and an extra Compact flash + a bit of padding - just perfect after checking all the cases at B&H's NYC store.
