A Video Cam No Bigger Than a Pack of Gum!
It's hard not to like tiny gadgets, especially those that claim to be the "world's smallest" something or other. Such a claim is what drew us to the Micro Camcorder, said to be the world's smallest video cam. As shown in the picture here, it's almost exactly the same size as a pack of chewing gum. It has a miniscule 3.6 millimeter lens on the front and a single button on the back that starts and stops recording. The only other buttons are for powering on and off and for locking the device, making the Micro Camcorder about as complex to use as a disposable camera.The tiny thing takes SD cards and can store up to 33 hours of video (15 frames per second) on a one-gigabyte card. Mind you, the internal battery will only last for two hours, so filling up that card will take a few installments. Of course, you shouldn't expect this $295 micro machine to replace your camcorder. While the camera is great for making YouTube videos (see the quality here), it's far from high-def. It's actually sold as a spy camera, or rather an "evidence gatherer." So, if you aren't already, be very wary of men in trench coats asking you to smile and speak into their packs of Doublemint.
