1.0 out of 5 stars Digital Cameras, February 14, 2007

This review is from: Minox Digital Classic Leica M3 4MP Digital Camera with Minoctar 9.6mm Digital Lens (Electronics)

Found the camera a nice replica but much too difficult to use and the built in storage system renders the camera virtually useless for any serious picture taking. Can't recommend this little number for anything other than having a minox digital in the collection. Certainly far below any other Leica standard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 1, 2007

This review is from: Minox Digital Classic Leica M3 4MP Digital Camera with Minoctar 9.6mm Digital Lens (Electronics)

One star is too much. This was one of two I ordered - one to replace the other. The electronic
controls did not work. I tried three different batteries (one from the package, two new ones from the store) and the camera responded the same. The LCD readout would not display correct information. It was garbled.

Not only is this thing all plastic with FIXED levers that are merely decorative, if you look at the product image carefully you'll see a HUGE black plastic black box on the back of it which even kills the cuteness factor of it. My 35mm Minox at least fit in my pocket, when the lens was folded shut.
