It's barely larger than its own USB plug!

Too small. I mean, outside of novelty I don't see any real use for this thing.

While 3 megapixels and 1280x960 avi's arent too bad for something that's roughly the size of a 9V battery, I wonder what the quality of the photos and video looks like. If they're clear and have good quality, it'd be neat, but grainy low quality photos with poor color aren't very useful. I'm curious to see some samples of what it does.

This is getting a bit stupid now. This reminds me of that Wendy's $2.99 combo meal commercial, where the dude is eating those tiny fries.... Small is cool and all, but there is a point where it becomes ridiculous.

BTW, found the commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Sz9Ms54ho

$150 is not a "very reasonable price" for this thing. It looks like a cheap-ass disposable camera.

My phone has a better specced cam on it, why the fek would I buy that?

This is very cute, but too expensive.

Phone cams are generally pure crap, regardless of specs. So the question is does this tiny cam give images like a real cam or like a phone cam?

3MP is plenty for a good 4x6 print, IF the lens and sensor are up to it. If the lens and sensor are too cheap, then no matter how many MP you have you won't get a good pic.

Smaller and with higher resolution than the FlyCamOne, a camera used by model airplane and rocket hobbyists, and also advertised as a kite cam. I don't see the weight listed (which is crucial for rocket applications). One plus the flycamone has is the ability to set it to continuous record prior to flight/launch. If it weighs 1oz or less it would be nice to see a version with the continuous record. (There are also cyclists that use helmet mounted cams to record rides and races.)

I believe its potentials when I see a video clip of it in use. TQ

My video and photo camera is smaller. It has a size of zero. It is in my phone. Who is this not true for?

 

[sliem]

Too small. Too expensive.
1 month warranty, only japanese manual.

No thanks unless it's $40.

from Japan???

I will be expecting LOT more high school girl panchira shots in the trains....

 

[warezme]

You could do like that Japanese guy that got arrested for gluing them to his shoes and looking up little girl skirts

how is that "smaller than an eraser" i don't ever remember using an eraser that size... its more like double the size of an eraser... which is still extremely small

stupidity, pure stupidity

Under $50, I will laugh at it, but think it is reasonably priced. Over $149, I will laugh at it, and think it is insanely priced.

That's cool as long as it makes actual 3 megapixel photos and not super craptastic 3 megapixel photos like my Ericsson makes. I get a lot better photo out of a 5 year old 2 megapixel camera which eats a lot of AA batteries than a lot of these new tiny gadgets.

That's what she said.

Epic win.

My phone doesn't have a camera, and something like this would be great for taking spur-of-the-moment pictures since I can easily carry it around in my pocket.

Unfortunately the price is just too high. My regular-sized, 10-megapixel camera with a 3" inch display was only ~$80. Drop the price of this miniature to ~$40 or less, and I'll be all over it.
