Mini Rolleiflex-style TLR digicam

Komamura, the Japanese sales agent for Rollei cameras, is to release a mini-sized (49 x 45 x 73 mm) digicam that apes the design of the Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex on May 21. Neatly, the 1.1 inch LCD display used for the viewfinder is positioned at the top of the camera to be viewed from above, in keeping with the original.

The Mini-Digi uses a 2 megapixel sensor that takes pics with up to 1,280 x 1,280 resolution through a fixed-focus F2.8 9mm lens, with shutter speed settable between 1/15s and 1/7500s (exposure and white balance is automated). Stores pics on an SD memory card; looks like PC connection is via USB.

Should sell for Y39,800 (excluding tax) in Japan.
