Once again, I ask that you find out exactly who Minox is before you dismiss the brand as 'cheap'. They are a camera maker on par with Leica, Rollei, Zeiss, Hasselblad, etc., and were making cameras LONG before you were even a gleam in your mother's eye. These digicams are rebrands, yes, but so are a lot of manufacturers.
A friend of the family has an older model Minox digicam, and I wouldn't call it 'cheap'. Metal construction, fairly heavy, and takes great photos. Sorry it doesn't say "Canon" Mr. "I shoot the same thing as everyone else" Engadget.
How can you say "we haven't been wrong yet" when you don't actually TRY the camera? Dismissing the camera based on a picture and a spec sheet is BAD, BAD journalism.
I've grown weary of electronics junkies thinking they know photography just because cameras are now 'digital'. Tell me, who was Edward Weston?
