Minox unveiled the new Minox DC 8122 digital camera, with an impressive 8 megapixel resolution and 6x optical zoom. With the new macro mode, you can shoot subjects as close as 20mm. Like most other cameras, the DC 8122 comes with built-in image stabilization to avoid blurred images, especially when shooting under long zoom ranges.

This portable camera features a CCD image sensor with 8.1 million pixel resolution. The Minoctar lens on the camera allows high-speed autofocus, so the combination leads to high-quality enlarged photographs. Manual mode of operation, where the photographer can choose aperture and shutter speeds, is available for the pros.

Different scene modes automatically select the right combination of aperture and shutter speed, which is especially helpful for beginners. Modes like portrait, sport, and night-time are provided. A large 2.8" LCD is provided for previewing the images on the DC 8122.

Internally, 32MB is available for storing photos - but the SD card slot can take up to 1GB cards. You can also shoot videos at VGA resolution. Bundled gear include a camera case, USB/video cables and software CD with user guide. Check back with us on the pricing and availability.
