Digital Classic Camera Leica M3
The Digital Classic Camera Leica M3 is a miniature replica camera made by Minox with the outward appearance of a Leica M3 viewfinder camera. It came delivered in a massive wooden box. It had a digital camera processor made by Zoran. The body was made of metal, covered with leatherette. Some of the metal levers were movable but without function. The camera was very small and light. A special flash in retro style was available for the Minox series of classic analog and digital replica cameras. Two buttons and as 2 digit display comprised the user interface. A special USB-cable had to be plugged in as a computer interface. Despite the image quality, it could also be seen as a toy- or, more accurately, as a model- camera. In webcam mode it had only a resolution of 320x240 pixels.
