Re: I have just purchased a new Brica digital cam
You are unlikely to find a website for Brica cameras. Here is a clip
from a digital camera site regarding Brica cameras:
"If you look on Ebay and other auction sites, as well as in office
supply and discount stores, you will now find a whole crop of
off-brand cheaper cameras hitting the market. Just go to Ebay for
example and look in the digital camera category - you'll see tons of
these things by unknown names such as SVP, Brica, Megxon, Newgen, and
many others. Many of these cameras advertise super-megapixel
resolutions (usually interpolated), and many have no optical zoom
lenses. Build quality is also sometimes debatable, and you're not
going to get the best image quality either, usually because a number
of them have fixed-focus lenses as well. This is not to say they're
all "crap" (so to speak), as they can be a decent second camera or
fine for those on extremely tight budgets. Just be aware, that
regardless of claims, you are not going to get a camera that competes
with a name brand costing hundreds more. If you want a camera that
produces GOOD images for good enlargements, spend the money on a name
brand."

These off-brand cameras are coming from Taiwan and are being sold by
marketing firms. You can find the same camera with several different
names. Here is a link to one of the marketing outfits (Tekxon
Technology Inc.):
http://www.megxon.com/index.html
They market the Megxon cameras and probably others.
Click on the Products button and you may find a picture of your camera
with the Magxon name printed on it.
There is one marketing outfit in New Zealand that is flooding ebay
with various brands of these camera.
