MTC Photography Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 The picture quality of Contax U4r is not as good as pictures from Minox 8x11 mm images enlarged to 8x10 inch size. Also not as good as the 5Mb Minox DLC Minox B style digital camera In other words, the lens of Contax U4r is not as sharp as Minox camera lens.

rodeo_joe1 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) About 13 years too late! Why would anybody be interested in a 4 megapixel camera these days? You'd probably pass on a phone that had such a low pixel count camera. Edited August 17, 2018 by rodeo_joe|1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) u4r is cheaper than iphone by far no iphone has 180 degree sweavel lens for stealth photo - But nobody takes any notice at all of someone with a phone to their face these days. You can blatantly point a phone at anyone, as long as you talk into it, and nobody will bother. I've also sat in bars and cafes with a little rear LCD compact camera on a table in front of me and snapped the antics of other customers. The trick is to not look furtive. A chrome-trimmed swivel lens curiosity is far more likely to draw attention. Cheaper than an Iphone? Yes, but not cheaper than a sensibly-priced non Apple smartphone. The only U4r I could find listed was billed as 'rare', and the asking price was something like €180. Edited August 20, 2018 by rodeo_joe|1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Photography Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 The Contax U4r is very unreliable I bought it less than a month ago, it is already dead Dont buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 The cheaper and simpler Kyocera Finecam 400r digital camera is much more reliable. I ought two Kyocera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_stephan2 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I always carry an old camera with me in case I end up someplace where I might feel threatened. My camera of choice is my 10 year old Nikon D700. Before the D700 I carried a 6D with a 35 f2 or 50 f1.8 for street and rural landscapes. The way I see it, your new equipment is more attractive to someone not knowing about photography so they'll leave the older camera with its bumps and bruises. If you lost it you wouldn't be out to much ca$h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I like Kyocera 400R because it is a waist level camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I like Kyocera 400R because it is a waist level camera - But so is anything else with a tilt/swivel screen. Like my old Nikon Coolpix 8800, or my relatively new Sony a6000. They don't work so well if you want to take portrait orientation pictures though! And 4 megapixels? Why not just stick a little 45 degree mirror to any 5 or 6 year old phone? Oops! But then it wouldn't be mirrorless, would it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably pass on a phone that had such a low pixel count camera. I would want an i4R not the U4r but they are going for quite high price on Ebay.
