Of course, the main attraction of the small cameras in the design and aesthetics lies. For this you need really not much more to say, if you held the camera in one hand, one wants to give it eh no longer.
Therefore briefly a few lines about the technology, even compared to its predecessor (DCC 5.0)
- The Minox DCC 5.1 has 5.1 million pixel resolution (the 5.0 had 5.0 million pixels, however, were the highly interpolated from 3.2 million pixels)
- The display is now strikingly larger, clearer and sharper than the 5.0
- In addition, I have the impression that the picture quality has improved. The 5.0 had for example always a slight reddish tint, when the 5.1 but not more exisitert. Maybe with the new sensor and / or new firmware?
- The optical viewfinder is now moved from the camera body in the viewfinder and now also much larger than the 5.0
- The manual focus ring can be rotated more smoothly and also has 3 click stops
All in all, a great flagship camera with simple operation.
For friends of the camera is a camera romance strong buy recommendation, the focus is on a more all-round camera for tough everyday use, the 5.1 is not suitable, then I would rather a Casio Exilim or recommend so.
