Hello...
Here goes my 1st post :)

This self-proclaimed smallest color camera in the world costs just $138.95, and it looks set to be a hot item among amateur voyeurs. It can be used in a hole that’s only 1/16” in diameter and measures less than 1/3” square. The camera features a 0.25” color CMOS chip and feeds on a 9-12V DC power @ 35ma power supply. The camera comes with plug and play cables, a 1 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee.

But I think even they dont show in pictures, the camera tied to a cable...
Still an amazing gadget but yet seem to be useless... What do you say?

that looks amazing. But probally really expensive and really easy to loose. But would be really good for someone spying on someone.

Supercircuits sells it for $138.95 but it says "out of stock"

Company advertise it with these lines "Don't drop this one on the carpet, you might not find it! This camera is so small that it is barely noticeable at the end of the cables."

yes now i can spy on innocent college dorm girls. lol. jk. This has a great potential for some spy uses. Something as small as this video camera i think i'm going to lose it. Its so small. Smaller than a stamp and a quarter is just scary. I'm afraid I might crush it. lol.

this does seem interesting. anyone going to buy one?

This sure does look like a neat gadget. What I would like to know is what resolutions are of the images and how long it can last on a battery. That site in the link has alot of other intresting gadgets too. If I had one I would be concerned about it breaking, it doesn't look like it's built very strong.

i think it is just designed for spying

no common one would like to take a so little camera to get picture and it looks not very neat as well...certainly it must have no optics zoom system with it so small shape,so picture quality is not very good IMO.

If I understand it correctly it can't last on a battery as you aren't buying a camer just the lense. I'd bet it probably doesn't even record on it's own, must supply the cables to got to a VCR or USB/FireWire.

It seems the smaller the high-tech tecnology device is, the more expensive it is those days. But I'd have to say that this small camera is quiet handy for the reasons mentioned by the earlier posters. It would be a good laugh if MP3 players and so on was added to it.. oh hold on... they are already on various mobile phone models..

pretty cool, i'm imaging me what kind of use i could give it, just think!, i'm not gonna say what i could do, but it's greatful!, at last this kind of products are avalaible for people like me! or you!, but i was thinking if the battery is bigger than the camera, and where can i get that batteries, and other thing, i wonder that for a litle thing like this is so probable you lose it, so you better keep an eye on it the most of the time, it's a great tiny toy, i would like to have it.

Awesome... But kinda useless unless your a voyeur a spy or just messed up.
It's cool though that things this tiny can be made.

this camera will be pretty useless to most people who need to take photos unless of course you are in the whole voyeur scene or have a website because the you can use this small camera.

Or maybe even mobile phone manufacturers as they need the camera to be as compact as posiible yet still be able to take very good pictures so this would work for the last two mentioned parties pervs and cell phone manufacturers but for everyone else it is really pointless as you can probolly also buy a much better camera with more features for alot less than what they want for that camera !!!!!!!

I think thats kinda Going to be used by fraudsters. think about it all they need to do is set it up above a bank and they can get all your details. Kinda dodgy like that but a neat piece of kit.
