[...] and I can't find any example shots from it anywhere online.
http://www.megxon.com/products/C480/C480.htm Praktika Luxmedia 4008, Megxon C480 (and even one "Texxon") seem to be the same camera marketed with different names. In the above link there are several sample pictures. I remember having read it is made in Taiwan. J.S.Pitanga |

I remember having read it is made in Taiwan. A link to complement the info above is http://www.megxon.com/tekxon.htm which confirms the Taiwanese connections, and gives the correct name, Tekxon.

There seems to be bags of noise on everything, the focus always looks poor, there seem to be quite a few JPEG artefacts, and the interpolated 8mp picture looks exactly like a 4mp picture that's been enlarged by a few per cent a few times in Photoshop. All in all I am not impressed, I'm afraid. pete -- "there's no room for enigmas in built-up areas" |

http://www.megxon.com/products/C480/C480.htm [Peter Fenelon:] I'm disinclined to trust manufacturers' example shots [...] Of course. However even after extensive research I could not find either reviews or samples from users (I considered to buy the camera a couple of moths ago). However, the pics on the manufacturers' site are pretty poor if that's the best they can do with it! Definitely. I even suspect that they could have done a little bit better, given the specifications of the camera. J.S.Pitanga |

I was being diplomatic..... the way the colours came out looking as though they were a cheap holiday postcard (regardless of what I looked at the images on!) didn't help either... All in all not a very convincing camera and something that does nothing for the Praktica name that's been tacked on to it. pete -- "there's no room for enigmas in built-up areas" |

Steve Yelland decided to say......
Does anybody know anything about this cam, is it worth buying? It is garbage. Sorry to be blunt, but you can do much better. It would be more rude of me to say it any more politely, as you would be making a huge mistake by buying this camera. |
