Japan’s most famous maker of silly gadgets, Tokyo-based Thanko, today announced yet another micro camera, the MAME-CAM DX [JP]. The 8MP device weighs just 14g and can record video “in HD”, namely in 1,280×960 resolution and at 30fps (AVI). JPEGs can be shot with 3,264×2,448 resolution.
Thanko says that owners can also use the device as a voice recorder. All files can be stored on microSD/SDHC cards (32GB max.) and transferred to computers via the camera’s USB 2.0 port.
The MAME-CAM DX is already on sale on Thanko’s Japanese website (price: $99). Contact Geek Stuff 4 U if you’re interested but don’t live in Japan.
