Manly and rugged outdoorsmen with small rucksacks might find Minox’s DC6033 WP so far up their mountain path it’s parked in their crevasse. Encased in rubber armor, the six-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is dust, dirt, sand and salt-proof, and you can take it underwater to a depth of 33 feet.
As well as a 4x zoom, the MINOCTAR lens is multi-coated with a 42mm fixed focal length, allowing for macro shots as close as 24 inches. There’s a two-inch TFT color screen, built-in flash and, as well as an internal memory of 16MB, there’s a slot for an SD memory card up to 2GB. Running on two AA batteries, the DC6033 WP will be available for $299. [Aving USA]
