James Bond Stealth Camera

[beatle]

I was browsing the new stuff @ Thinkgeek today and saw they have a Zippo-sized digital camera. On top of looking ultra cool and small, it actually takes decent pictures. I was considering buying a cell phone with a camera to replace my 3 year old Sanyo, but I still like my phone and the pictures I've seen taken with camera phones are just awful, even in decent lighting. I want something tiny to put in my pocket in case I see a cool license plate, billboard, person, etc. that I just have to show my friends. Does anyone else have one of these cameras? Is the sample shot typical of its normal quality? It has no flash, but claims to be able to take indoor pictures w/fluorescent lighting.

Dude, you can password enconde your emails w/ the software!!!!

Seriously though, 640x480... meh. Seems like you'd get it and be like... "I could have had 150 tacos instead of this little $100 gadget.)

I have an A70 for when I plan to take really detailed pictures (holidays, landscapes, etc.). If most pictures come out looking like the sample pic, I'd be sold. Does anyone have this camera or have more information on it? Googling doesn't turn up many useful links.

It would be interesting to see a real sample pic. (with real EXIF data) - unprocessed.

I saw this on TechTV the other day. I think it was the Screen Savers.

It looked pretty interesting. I think the will have that episode on again 12/12 at 7 p.m. and Saturday 12/13 at 12 a.m. Eastern. Not 100% sure though.
