The Contax U4R is a 4 megapixel camera with a 2inch LCD, 30fps movie mode, 3x Optical Zoom. It comes in 3 colors (orange blue and black).
'The Contax U4R offers a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 5.8-17.4mm f2.8-4.7 lens (equivalent to approx. 38mm to 115mm in 35mm film format) consisting of 6 elements in 6 groups and includes three aspheric and two high index lens elements. This Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 5.8-17.4mm lens has been developed specifically for digital usage and achieves outstanding color reproduction and rich gradations. In addition, Carl Zeiss’ special multi-layer T* coating dramatically reduces flare and ghosting which results is crisp, ultra sharp images. For greater creative control, 28mm filters can be used via the included filter adapter.
The U4R also incorporates a 3x optical zoom and 6x digital zoom for a maximum of 18x total zoom and includes up to 8x digital zoom in play back mode.'

PHOTOgraphic Magazine reviews the Contax U4R Digicam and writes - 'The U4R features an Enhanced Continuous AF mode that delivers precise results, even when shooting moving subjects. Also contributing to the camera’s focusing accuracy is a sophisticated multi-AF system in which the U4R automatically selects one of nine focusing points. We used this system almost exclusively, with very consistent results. It worked particularly well when photographing off-center subjects, enabling us to avoid the time-consuming extra step of pre-focusing on the main subject and recomposing before taking the shot.'
