Mine worked right out of the box – and made very nice pictures. Obviously, these cannot be viewed in really big formats, but they look great up to approx. 1600×1200. However, making a good picture is a rather demanding task, as wobbles and wrong lighting show very quickly. So you either have a very steady hand or you develop a knack for finding surfaces to stabilize your DSC :)

The battery does use up quickly (30-50 pics), but also recharges in 20 minutes. In addition, you may want to buy a converter for recharging with the USB cable at any power outlet.

The flash seems too strong at short distances, but I rarely use it, as pics are great even in low light, if the camera is held stable enough.

In total, this is a nice little gem which demands some knowledge of photography for good results.

I have been using Minox cameras and equipment for many years, but this new camera is not up to the standards of previous Minox products.

The images are very poor quality. The camera claims 5 mega pixels, but only delivers approximately 3. The unit i received was defective right from the factory. the built in flash didn’t activate even in total darkness. the clip on flash unit didn’t operate at all and the screen mounted in the flash unit was totally inoperable. you could not review pics except on your computer.

the camera didn’t come with a real charger or charger cable and must be connected to your computer to charge the battery. the battery also holds a very small charge and discharges quickly.

i plan to return my camera and do NOT recommend this unit to anyone, particularly if you expect the same quality of camera as a Minox 8 1/2 x11 camera. v this item is little more than an overpriced toy!

Despite the reviews that I had read, I just could not help myself from ordering one of these. The size seemed just perfect, and the device itself seemed sleek and sexy. I delayed my order only to confirm that the battery was replaceable (Minox quoted an approximate $20 + nominal labor charge at any camera dealer). Thankfully, I did have the foresight to order it from B&H, which thankfully had a good return policy. The camera I received was, in fact, as sleek as I imagined, and had a great weight to it. Unfortunately, it never would charge (10+ hours), and like the previous reviewer, the flash attachment did not work at all. This wasn’t just minimal charge – it would simply not work unless it was connected to the computer.

It was exactly what I wanted when it was connected to the computer: acceptable photo quality, nice lights and interface, very espionage-like. Unhappily, I had planned on using it without being tethered to my computer (crazy me!) so it went back to B&H the next day. So very disappointing too. I really like everything about this camera, except for the unfortunate quality of not working.

I did consider a replacement, but after reading how many other people had received defective units (here and on camera forums) and how I received two devices that would not take a charge made me think the quality control was at an abysmal level, and that anything I might receive would only break in a matter of months.

I would advise people to consider this is if it was at the low low cost of “free”, though I might consider one in a few years on EBay if I know it lasted for the owner (but probably not for more than $50).

This little camera is well built, very sturdy and compact. However the only problem is that it’s highly possible that you have no way to use it without a computer or external power supply…. The battery won’t charge at all. Buyer be aware! I think there might me some effective products out there, many people just got unlucky and received defective ones….But adorama is a great seller. They do a full refund for you if you met an issue like me.

If it only worked as advertised. Right out of the box several functions did NOT work. Picture quality poor. More of a toy camera except for the price. Save your money
