If anything, Minox does a decent job of aping its big name counterparts in looks and feature set — if only it wasn’t on average a couple years late to the party. The Minox DC-8011 seems to be a perfectly passable budget compact, with an 8 megapixel CCD, 2.7-inch LCD and electric image stabilization. It even measures in at under an inch thick and offers 4x optical zoom, but that’s about as exciting as things get here — which is to say, not very exctign. No word on price or availability, but we’re not really sure that’s much of a loss.
