London: The
one-square-inch camera that sits snugly on your finger can click
two megapixel images and even shoot video.
New York firm Hammacher Schlememr, which created the $100 camera,
insists the 28-gram device works perfectly, despite being a little
bigger than the fingertip.
Hammacher's general manager Fred Berns said: "Although 'The
World's Smallest Camera' is only slightly larger than a marble, it
takes still images and records video just like much larger
cameras."
"It comes with a wrist lanyard that keeps it close to hand and
enables ease of portability," Berns added, reports the Daily Mail.
The miniature camera, its makers claim, can take JPEG images with
a resolution of 1600 x 1200 and comes complete with autofocus. The
camera also connects to a computer via a USB cable, just like
regular pieces of photography equipment.
