Cameras & Projectors

Now here’s a tiny and cute camera that can help you capture candid shots, although don’t expect these to look as good as those shot using a dedicated digital camera! It harks back to the days where film is still used, so you will need to develop those photos once the 110 film inside is all used up. Prints are available in 3X5″ or 4X6″ formats, anything bigger and chances are there’ll be plenty of noise. Each Ikimono Mini Camera comes with a small cartoon animal on the front for that added cuteness factor, retailing for $22.

It was inevitable, really. With outfits like Dell and 3M taking projectors to a whole ‘nother (tiny) level, it was just a matter of time before someone else came along and made those pico projectors look gigantic. Enter Konica Minolta, who is reportedly developing a projector that’s just 1.6- x 0.79- x 0.3-inches, or slightly smaller than your average flash drive. The unit will supposedly use lasers, mirrors and black magic instead of light bulbs and lenses, and it’ll still be capable of beaming out a 20-inch XGA color image from a distance of just under two feet.

After seeing the Gadget Lab how-to project on making a ratty, thief-proof camera bag, the bigwigs at Lowepro couldn’t contain themselves. “We make a stealthy camera bag, too,” they cried, “You MUST test it!”So I did. In reality, the Lowepro folks weren’t nearly as pushy, but they did send over the Classified 160AW, a nylon and leather day-bag for photographers which is purposely styled to be less flashy than a normal camera bag.

With the world’s population rapidly migrating to cities over the last century, most of the world’s military conflicts are now being fought in urban environments. Fighting in an urban environment presents innumerable problems for a force acting ethically as the three-dimensional environment restricts visibility, and offers much easier concealment for defenders and IEDS.

But the kitchy format proved to be so much of a nostalgia-inducing favorite for certain groups of people (most of them weird lovers of instantaneous, smudge-full, and tiny portraits) that it’s been practically willed into a modern day resurrection.

First things first. There’s a lot to like about a high def camcorder that shoots 720p and 1080p video and sells for around $185. So my first impression would be to like the DXG-595V. And I do, though with a slew of reservations. For this price you assume there are compromises and limitations–there are.
It is a hand sized camcorder weighing in at a little more than half a pound. That is a blessing and curse. I took it on a hike up Sleeping Giant Mountain this afternoon–just shoving it into my pants pocket. But small also means it’s difficult to hold steady. Without the mass of a heavier and larger cousin it’s everything you can do to keep it from bobbing and weaving especially when zoomed in.
