5.0 out of 5 stars There is a reason spies chose Minox, March 30, 2002

This review is from: Minox ECX Subminiature 8 x 11mm Camera (Electronics)

When doing clandestine photography, small size, stealth and reliability are requirements. This is the reason the Minox cameras have been the choice for 3 generations.

The Minox ECX is no exception.

This is a camera that can be easily carried in your pocket every day, yet gives you images of astounding quality. Barely the size of a disposable lighter, the ECX is quiet and smooth in its operation. Its ergonomic design allows for large or small hands to operate it comfortably, despite its diminutive dimensions.

Never again have to say, "Wow, I wish I had a camera!" With the Minox you will always have one handy.
