Sometimes you just want to buy something because of how it looks. The Minox Gold Plated mini rangfinder-style camera is one such item. It “only” has 5.1 megapixel and is of no rival to other compact cameras in terms of functionality — it has no HD video, for instance — but with this kind of classic magnetism, it makes all these other camera functions something of a “besides-the-point” matter.
