November 8, 2004 — This could be the most expensive 4.2-megapixel digital camera on the market in awhile. At about $1,290, the Minox DC 4211 comes plated in 24-carat gold and has three 0.2-carat diamonds embedded in the finger grip on the front of the camera body. The diamonds are supposed to serve as a highlight, but the placement on the finger grip doesn’t make much sense. The user will have to clean the diamonds periodically.
A fine wooden box comes with the Minox DC 4211, as well as a leather case, a wrist strap (make sure this one doesn’t drop), a lithium-ion battery, software and a 32MB Secure Digital card.
