The picture quality is ok, only there is no chance to go to the 100 percent view and make a zoom from the picture on the computer screen, there is noise (of course!). But showing the whole pic e.g. on a 19″ Display is very ok I think! That Minox dcc M3 5.0 plus is a camera for People who knows photography (not for beginners!) and who want to have much fun with a very classic styled, fine made camera. For waht to use: Just a snapshot cam for daily pics to take anywhere, at any chance. An “always with me cam” for taking some point and shoot. No flash, no zoom, just for dailight and good lightning rooms. Not for taking a foto of quickly moving things like kids, animals or cars/sport. Not for party (lowlight). But that should be clear anyway before you buy this Minox.

A tip: After switching on, point to the object for about 2 seconds, you see on the screen how the cam is adapting to light! Then softly press the shutter and the pic is well done! More you use it, more you get familiar with it, more you love it. And: take a strap because it can easily fall to the ground because the small size.

And finally: sun from front or about 45 degree left/right can cause some reflection (blue colors, cold flavour, or strong reflectionsI. To avoid, cover then the cam with your free hand, there is a good control through display.

And the last tip: set EV to -0,3 (maybe -0,6). And install the newest firmware from minox website! That is a musthave really, the improvement of pic quality is great!

By the way: If you have questions – I made experience that the Minox Service is marvellous!!!
