Mini Digital Camera

Sunday November 4, 2007 at 03:21PM

... opening a new album

 

 

... and this will be technically (equipment) driven again, although I wanted to restrict my technical focus.

Inspired by reports about "cat cameras", mini digital cameras which can be fixed to the necklace of your pet and record pictures of the pets daily stroll, I bought such a camera at ebay for about 4 Euros. It is really tiny, about the size of a matchbox.

For this album I intend to use the pictures of the low resolution point and shoot, fix focus camera without any manipulation, just how they come from the inbuild memory chip. In the future I will try to use it for a some 5 - 10 frame story telling.

Technical features of this camera are:

  • f = 3.9 cm
  • Maximum aperture F 2.8
  • Sensational 352x288 pixel = 0.1 MP (in high resolution mode)
  • Build-in memory for 20 HR pictures
  • Also records short avis in low resolution mode

I have been a lo-res digi lover for years... have more image sets of them on my flickr site, but there are a few here. just make sure you stock up on batteries and these little marvels eat right through them!

Hi Jake (?), thanks for your comment.
I'am fond of cheap photographic equipment for some time now. Mostly plastic analog cameras but I took the opportunity, as I read something about this cheap digital toys and it works fine for me. Thanks for the hint on the lo-res group. I will join, although I swore, not to go for groups focused on technical issues. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And I like to abolish restrictions anyway ...
