With dimensions of just 87x54x18mm, the new MINOX digital DC 6011 slim boasts an ultra sleek and very slender design, making it barely larger than the world famous Minox spy camera of years gone by. Contrary to what its outward appearance may suggest, the performance of the DC 6011 slim is not at all small!

The core features of the MINOX DC 6011 slim are a 6-megapixel CCD image sensor as well as a proven multi-coated MINOCTAR lens.  Working perfectly together and combined with the electronic signal processing of the camera, they guarantee good sharp images with brilliant and natural color rendition. With its 3x optical zoom the lens is versatile enough to cope with numerous photographic situations. The autofocus feature, which is fast and precise, and the minimal shutter release delay both allow spontaneous snapshots and a fast image sequence. The high resolution of the sensor enables top quality printouts such as small posters as well as highly enlarged detail of the image. Included with the cameras is a docking station for the convenient transfer of image files. This can simultaneously be used as a charging station. The automatic white balance guarantees optimum exposure even under changing light conditions so that the user can rely on getting images with natural color rendition every time. Four different flash functions and the possibility to adjust the ISO sensitivity of the sensor in three stages also allow optimum adjustment of the shot in any light.
