Compact digital camera with over 5 million pixels: the new MINOX DC 5211
A new top class digital camera is being launched on time for Christmas by MINOX, the traditional camera manufacturers from Wetzlar. 5.25 million pixels, 3x zoom, compact dimensions and an elegant all-metal body make this small and powerful digital camera a prestigious item for all discerning photographers.
The new MINOX DC 5211 has a CCD image sensor with 5.25 megapixels as well as a fast high-performance MINOCTAR lens with multiple coating. The 3x zoom lens boasts an autofocus feature and gives the photographer freedom for creative picture composition. Thanks to the individual adjustment to the 5.25 megapixel sensor and in coordination with the electronics and software of the MINOX DC 5211, the MINOCTAR lens provides highly dynamic images with natural color rendition. The automatic white balance ensures the right exposure, even in difficult light conditions, so that the user always has natural colors and the correct setting for the subject in view. Also the four flash functions provide optimal adjustment of the shot to the outside conditions. Shutter speeds and apertures can be selected manually.
Although the DC 5211 is very compact in size, it has a 1.5 TFT color monitor which allows immediate image assessment during and after the shot. A fast image sequence and minimal shutter release delay permit spontaneous candid photography in any situation.
The MINOX DC 5211 has a digital USB interface for uncomplicated transmission of the image files to the computer. The provided software enables the touching up of the images on the PC and direct mailing to friends.
With its extremely compact dimensions of about 93 mm x 35 mm x 58 mm the new MINOX DC 5211 belongs to the class of small and powerful Digital Cameras.
