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.....

I finally found time to upload some photographs and some comments
about the Rolleiflex 4x4 "Baby" giant replica:

a.html
Talking about 4x4 giant replicas, I had forgotten the link sent by
Dirk last January, the Rollei collector Frank Peter Hoffmann from
Brunswick is holding an identical replica to that one from Brazil
shown in my blog, the difference is that Hoffmann's replica has the
leather cover and paint, another identical 4x4 replica can be seen
behind the collector head. TheRolleiflex 4x4 Baby manufactured from
1931 had an enormous initial success but sales (and production)
dropped for the versions 2 and 3 drastically:
