The name change brings the current model more firmly in line with the rest of Minox's Classic Camera miniature reproduction range.

The CMOS sensor has been upgraded to 3 megapixels, with 5.0 megapixels available by interpolation. The taking lens is a 4.9 mm f/2.8; the camera has digital autofocus. The electronic
