The Digital Classic Camera Leica M3 is a miniature replica camera with the outer appearance of an old Leica M3 viewfinder camera. It comes delivered in a massive wooden box. Its digital camera processor is made by Zoran. Its body is made of metal, covered with leatherette. Some of the metal levers are movable but without function. The camera is very small and light. A special flash in oldtime style is available for Minox's series of classic analog and digital replicas. Two buttons and the 2 digit display are the user interface, a special USB-cable must be plugged in as a computer interface. Despite its proper image quality it could also be seen as a toy camera, or even better as a 'model camera'. In webcam mode it has only a resolution of 320x240 pixels.
