ginon_lee Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Several months ago I posted a question, asking for the reputation and the performance of Minox digital cameras. "Now I want to make sure if Minox digital cameras are equipted with Minox lenses." Maybe someone has already gave me the answer but I might have not understood due to my poor English. I think it's worth buying a Minox dica if they have Minox lenses. Regards Ginon Some people said wrote: 1)Here is my understanding. Minox digital cameras are generally not much more than re-badged cameras from other manufacturers. That being said they are no better and no worse than any other digital in their respective class............ 2)A quick search on the WEB turned up that all of the following are based on the same camera from Premier Image Technology Corp. Taiwan: Konica Minolta Dimage E40, BenQ DC E43, Minox DC4211, Premier DC4331, Rollei Prego dp4200, Centon DC4s, Voigtl?er Virtus D4, Maginon Slimline X4 3).......Small companies can make film cameras and maybe even a few lenes, but they can not compete in digital technology unless they stick to their niche. In other words area of the market that the major digital camera makes steer clear of. None have done so yet, but essentially they need: Leica - Digital M that is just like the M7 but without film. Contax - Digital T series (with APS sized sensor) Minox - Digital LX. I could go on but I think you got my point. Why would I buy a generic digicam from a small camera maker when I can get a generic Sony or Canon or Nikon that takes better photos, is avaliable everywhere, and is cheaper.
