MonsterPod camera limpet

January 10th, 2007 by Marc in CES 2007, Photography

2007_01_10img_7598.jpg

They don’t call it a limpet, they call it a “Viscoelastic Gravity Defying Tripod”. But it is a limpet nonetheless. Press it firmly down onto just about anything, attach a point and shoot camera and you’re good to go. You can even stick it to a ceiling if you want. Neat! More information from omegasatter.com

Digital Hero sports camera

January 8th, 2007 by Marc in CES 2007, Photography

Digital Hero
Extreme sports fans rejoyce, no longer do you have to duct tape a video camera to your helmet and hope for the best. GoProCamera are showing their Digital Hero mode. It’s a 3MP digital camera that attaches securely to the wrist with velcro straps and takes stills or video with sound at 30fps. It’s also waterproof to 100 feet and it’s on sale for $139.

Granted you could get a ruggedised camera from the likes of Pentax or Olympus, but you’d pay a lot more and you’d still have to get the duct tape out to attach it somewhere!

Pro Viewer Binocular Camera

December 27th, 2006 by methodshop in Photography

Are you into bird watching? Or maybe you like to snap pictures of topless celebrities at the beach? Regardless of your intentions, with the Pro Viewer BinoCam, you’ll always take a crystal-clear shot no matter how far away you are from the action.

The Pro Viewer BinoCam is pair of binoculars and a digital camera all rolled into one. It features an 8X non-digital zoom with a 2.1 mega pixel camera capable of taking 1600 x 1200 pixel photos. After you snap the perfect picture, you can review it instantly with the BinoCam’s built-in 1.5-inch full-color LCD screen. The BinoCam can also record 30 second AVI video clips.

Not interested in stalking celebrities? Of course, you can also take the BinoCam to the beach and watch the surfers ride the perfect wave. Prove to your friends you spotted whales on that last boat trip, or even assist the police by snapping Mel Gibson’s license plate as he gets wasted and drives around California blaming the Jews for everything.

The Pro Viewer BinoCam combines powerful binoculars, a high-resolution camera and a camcorder all in one. It’s all you need to catch the action… from a safe distance.

PictureBook Digital Photo Album

December 19th, 2006 by Tiago in Electronic Gadgets, Photography, USB Gadgets

PictureBook Digital Photo Album
On top of the other seven digital frames we already mentioned there is a new one that really grabbed my attention, just like a fireman grabs a person when he/she is about to fall off a building – both situations are similar and have the same feeling.

Anyway, enough with gibberish talk and moving on to the digital frame of the day – the PictureBook Digital Photo Album:

All the other digi frames we previously talked about had one similar feature which is the lack of big storage capacity, therefore consumers could only put like 60 or 80 photos on a frame, sometimes less. The scenario changes when using the PictureBook, since it is suppose to work as an album it has a hard-drive with 40GB, can you imagine the number of photos you can insert in it? I can’t, but the producers/designers (read Brookstone) talk about storing over 20,000 photos.

5.0MP Digital Binocular Camera

November 15th, 2006 by Tiago in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Photography

5.0 Mega Pixel LCD Digital Binocular Camera

Remember the previous Digital Binocular Camera we talked about? Well, that one only had 2.0 mega pixels which can be considered pretty low for the actual standards, this one has more MPs and improved features overall. The name also stands out (when comparing to the poor DB3200), it is called Pro Viewer BinoCam, I must admit that the “Pro” part on the beginning makes all the difference, right?

This 3-in-1 device can be used as:

  • a binocular to view animals at the Kruger Park
  • a digital camera to take photos of the Kruger lions, crocodiles, and so on
  • a recording digital camera to take AVI video clips that catch the lions on the act, just like you see it on the Discovery Channel

November 6th, 2006 by Al in Mobile Phones, Photography

What do you get if you cross a double mega pixel digit SLR camera, a swiss army knife, a zippo lighter, Photoshop and an over worked imagination, the Nokia 6639.
