Traditionally the tiny MINOX spy camera stands for a unique and entirely different form of photography, and so does the brand new Digital SpyCam. It can be whipped out of a pocket at any time to capture high quality fleeting candid images inconspicuously: one click and it's gone. SpyCam users suddenly become "Agent M" with their own personal "License to Shoot". The new image world of the Digital SpyCam has its own internet forum (www.license-to-shoot.com). Original and exciting "Agent M Shoots" can be placed on this site and contacts made to other "agents" all over the world!

Minox Agent M DSC Digital Spy Cam Silver

Seeing this camera makes people immediately think of Bond, James Bond, and not without good reason. The DSC is small, really small. And this new version with metal finish looks even more like it's famous ancestor, the Minox A (read more about the Minox A in OHMSS). It's so tiny it disappears in a clenched fist. Or in the heel of a shoe or other such ingenious hiding places.

Just like the black DSC (see below) the new silver Spy Cam has an additional external flash that can be connected to the side of the DSC. And to provide the user with the accustomed convenience of a display for viewing film and image results the flash has an integrated 1.5 inch TFT LCD monitor. The image data can be saved on micro SD memory cards of up to 16 GB, in addition to the internal 128 MB flash memory.

On the Minox website is also a host of intelligent spy accessories available. From the belt buckle camera to a filming pen - just about everything the future "private eye" might need for capturing undercover digital images!

Bond Lifestyle has used this camera during the Themepartypeople EURO2010 Bond tour, see the results on the photoalbum on the Facebook page.

The camera is currently not available on the Minox website, but on eBay there is usually quite a selection.

History of MINOX

A camera that has ambitions to become a classic has to feature an ingenious design which will enthuse photographers for years to come. The concept at MINOX has always been to provide cameras with the smallest possible dimensions, demonstrating absolute precision and a topclass design. That's MINOX. Past, present, future. There's always a clever mind behind every classic design. And the MINOX story must always be told with reference to the name, Walter Zapp. The legendary designer who wrote photographic history with his revolutionary invention of the first Ur-MINOX in 1938. The ingenious idea was to be seen in its dimensions. A camera smaller than a cigar and weighing less than a cigarette lighter. And featuring an excellent lens. This was a stroke of lasting genius - as the MINOX ECX and the MINOX CLX Special Edition still proof today. And of course, it was no surprise to see these miniature cameras with the 8 x 11 mm film format go on to become world famous as espionage cameras.

Yes George Lazenby used the Minox 111s in 'OHMSS', close inspection reveals that he used it upside down, something a real agent (or Minox user) would of course never do!!

Need battery for MINOX spy camera please advise from where I can get in INDIA
The silver model has a higher resolution sensor and focusing lens. Harder to find than the black camera. The black camera finish gets sticky over time.
