looks awesome!

That is truly a fun gadget. I can see many other applications of that technology. Pah-tee Shottu . . . hai, so des ne!

 

[Kelvrick]

Panty shot? That tripod is awfully low...

Otherwise, that actually looks like an interesting idea. We need one strong enough to hold a dslr and a wide angle. A canon one.

interesting idea....i'm sure that you got to have something along a 5% "keeper" rate. May be worth it for those who don't want to be snapping many photos over dinner, but still want the pictures

First Sony product in a very long while that I found interesting.

It probably doesn't work half as well as the video makes it look, but it's a cool concept; I might buy a second or third-gen version

For those of you too lazy: in Engrish.

yeah, take it to a club, and put it on the floor.. get some nice upskirts!! hopefully someone will be like britney spears..

 

[IronWing]

It seems to sense teeth and only takes picture when people bare their fangs. I don't know how that might affect finbarqs' suggestion.

Kinda creepy to me...

 

[Heidfirst]

this really isn't that new as something similar has been done several times before.

I could see this being used for parties of two...

Really? I don't remember any such similar products. Got links?

 

[Heidfirst]

Don't have links atm but I have seen them on Minolta/KM/Sony related forums.
iirc both Minolta & Konica seperately did something similar at 1 time (albeit not as advanced because the electronics weren't then).
What is mildly interesting is that it's Sony (who bought KM's camera division) that have brought it back - I wonder if they are reusing old Konica & Minolta patents?

 

[cthulhu]

That looks really interesting. I'd like to see some actual photos.
