From Minox's Classic Camera series we have the new and impressive miniaturized Leica M3, a 5.0 Megapixel digital camera with modern features. The camera is a detailed 1/3-scale reproduction of the iconic Leica rangefinder. The list of features is just amazing: From 5.0 Megapixel to being Mac and PC compatible. Flash is also available.

Features of the Minox Classic Camera include 5.0 Megapixel resolution, 4X digital zoom, AVI-format video capturing capabilities, 32MB of internal memory, and an SD card slot to expand your memory up to a whopping 8GB. The USB interface comes with an included cable to ensure speedy transferring of photos. The piece even comes complete with a leather camera strap and a classy wooden display box.

**Implications** - Today's on-the-go consumer is constantly seeking smaller, lighter pieces that are portable.
