Minox DCC 14.0 digital classic camera

When it comes to digital cameras, most of us would think of the usual suspects, them established names such as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fujifilm, Sony, and perhaps even Samsung, but how many of you would figure out just where Minox would fit into the picture? Minox has come up with their latest model, the Minox DCC 14.0 digital classic camera that seemed to have gone through a shrink ray of sorts. This particularly small camera has been created to a scale of 1:3, allowing it to fit in the palm of your hand. As its name suggests, this bad boy will come with a 14-megapixel sensor, in addition to a fixed lens and an optical viewfinder.

However, if you decide to bring home the Minox DCC 14.0 digital classic camera for yourself, you should not have too high expectations of it, especially when it comes to its image quality. Forget about it being able to rival higher-end (and considerably larger) retro-shooters including the Fujifilm X100S. Checking out the Minox DCC 14.0 for the first time, it looks more than decent, where it comes complete with nice touches including a chrome-plated brass lens cap as well as a metal plug-on optical viewfinder. The Minox DCC 14.0, however, is more of a collector's toy compared to being a serious photographic tool for obvious reasons.

There will not be the 14-megapixel CMOS image sensor as stated, but the F2.4 7.4mm lens that comes with it will offer a focal length equivalent that is approximately 45mm in 35mm format. When one figures that out, it is somewhat akin to a 1/2.5-inch sensor (5.76 x 4.29 mm), which is similar to the one deployed in a budget compact point-and-shoot. Makes perfect sense after all, as this is basically what the Minox DCC 14.0 digital classic camera is all about, although it comes in an extremely fantastic looking package.

Capable of capturing photos in 640 x 480 resolution, storing them onto an SD memory card, and has a 4x digital zoom, a minimum focusing distance of 50 cm (20 inches) and a two-inch LCD right at the back, you will be able to bring home the Minox DCC 14.0 in a choice of either black or silver colors at $240 a pop.

Griffin announces SeeSaw and No. 2 Pencil Stylus

When it comes to peripherals for your tablet, you will definitely be able to figure out that Griffin Technology is a name that you should take notice of, considering how they have managed to position themselves to be one of the world's foremost creators of innovations for everyday life, with the recent announcement of the SeeSaw for iPad, as well as No. 2 Pencil Stylus for touchscreens, where these two gadgets are ideal for use in situations such as classrooms, labs or study groups.

Just what is the SeeSaw? Well, this is a lightweight, portable case that comes with a built-in carrying handle. It will be able to transform a user's iPad into a personal or group tabletop workstation, making it balance in a steady and stable manner, which is more than ideal for viewing, tapping and typing. Not only that, with the SeeSaw, it makes things incredibly easy to hold, carry and use. As a user, you are able to quickly switch between portrait and landscape orientation, as you retain full accessibility to ports, cameras, speakers and controls. Not only that, the SeeSaw is also made out of nonporous material, which is a snap to remain clean without much effort.

As for Griffin's No. 2 Pencil Stylus, this particular tablet accessory will help modernize the most iconic writing instrument of all time, which incidentally is the No. 2 pencil. The No.2 Pencil Stylus will be a stylus which will play nice with just about all capacitive touchscreens. Sporting a high-sensitivity rubber tip, it has been designed to mimic a finger without having to leave behind fingerprints or smudges. It is definitely a faithful reproduction of the classic yellow pencil, Griffin's No. 2 Pencil Stylus will come with a satisfying shape, length and weight which delivers a special kind of writing feel that cannot be found in shorter, lighter styluses.

The SeeSaw will be compatible with iPad generations 2, 3 & 4, where it comes in pool blue or citron for $34.99 a pop, and the No. 2 Pencil Stylus is available for $19.99 if you want one.
