left pocket minox Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Greetings All! I have just visited Minox in Germany two weeks ago. While I got a short tour by the Area Manager, Mr. Abraham, he let me examine the new Minox camcorder multi-device. It is really nice! And it follows what I feel Minox has always been about, easy to carry devices to do just what it is designed to do, record our lives. I did everything but bribe them to let me pay cash straight up for the one in my hands. However, it had not been released to the public. My seeing it was a fluke. Now if they can get to market!

alex_conti Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 The "Minox" Mobi DV is in reality a Minox re-badged OEM device that is already widely available at a much lower price as the "Pocket DV". The UK "Gadget-Shop" chain has been selling this camera for over a year and the no1 model was remaindered at ?120 each in the January 05 sales. The "Minox" one is identical to the No2 model which sells for ?150, but without an SD card. It is identical even down to the black shiny finish and matt-chrome trim, But if you really want to wait you will have the option of paying twice as much for the same camera with a "Minox" badge. Or you could just print out your own badge and stick it on the front. It will be the same camera. In truth, pompous German brands Minox and Leica do not make any digital cameras themselves yet get away with charging for their badge to appear on various other manufacturers products. Compare the "Leica" digital cameras and the identical Panasonic models and see the difference in price. I say "identical" but in truth the Panasonic version's look much sexier in their all black finish. Of course, they even have the same Leica lense. But the price differential is immense. Especially on the used market, where the "Leica" versions are rated at typically near the price of the new Panasonic versions.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
