Well Roger,
I know this camera,
but mainly it is not so good.
It is more a replica, with no functioning knobs and medium to low image quality.
I was considering to buy it some time ago, but for the time being, I think it
is not real good stuff.
It is a pitty, because I would like to have the TRL feeling with a digial
sensor.
It is not from Minox,
Minox is just branding and marketing it.
It was/is made by a Japanese company making also replicas of other cameras like
the Leica.

Hi Dirk-Roger,
As you probably already know, Minox had a small digital baby Rollei. It was
more of a replica in appearance. There are no listings on eBay for these,
however the following site has info.
XXXX.http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/compact-cameras/minox-rollei-minidigi-5-0-af-435062/reviewXXXX
It used to price at about $150 but is probably more now. Minox has a copy of a
small Rolleiflex film camera on eBay It's quite expensive.
I am a volunteer worker in the "tech" products area at a resale shop operated
by a private high school. I am amazed at the photographic cameras that are
disposed of. The plastic point & shoot, zoom lens , have little or no resale
value. That includes Canon, Nikon and Minolta. I trashed about 20 last week
because of overstock. Even the SLR film cameras have drastically dropped in
value and their interchangeable lens have too. I had one Contax that sold right
away. No Rolleis yet. I think a good share of film cameras have been given and
now we are getting the earlier digital still cameras and also a horde of
digital motion cameras that are now grossly obsolete. Used digitals do not
bring the comparable resale price that the film cameras used to in the pre
digital age.
I never realized how the consumer film camera market had plunged until I
helped in this resale shop. The eBay listings sure verify this.

By the way, the 4x4 body would have the ideal size to incorporate a digital
sensor.....
