The new Contax U4R is a tiny 4-megapixel digicam with a swiveling lens that exemplifies the long-time Contax philosophy of achieving beautiful images from a beautiful camera. With a sleek brushed magnesium body, a premium leather wrap and a terrific Carl Zeiss lens, this camera is a successful fusion of great looks and impressive performance.
Essentially an upgrade of the earlier 3-megapixel Contax SL300R, the new model not only offers higher resolution, but enhanced ergonomics, faster and more precise automatic focusing, an easier to access control scheme, and a convenient cradle for charging the camera’s battery and transferring images to the computer.
