Flee Throwable Camera Captures Your Girlish Tosses For Posterity

It seems that there is interest amongst the design community to develop a tossable camera, which is why the Flee Digital camera is not the first of its kind. Is it the novelty value of seeing images from a unique perspective? Is it for reconnaissance missions over your neighbor's yard? I'm not quite sure, to be honest. Still, the Flee concept is out there, and it is designed to take photos at regular intervals when thrown, then beam them back to your cellphone using Bluetooth. So, when you consider the range of Bluetooth devices, this is one situation where having a girl arm could be beneficial. Either way, it probably won't become a real- world product anytime soon.

Hasselblad H3DII-50 has 50-Megapixel Sensor, Double the Largest 35mm Sensor

The new H3DII-50 from Hasselblad packs in Kodak's 50-megapixel sensor. This measures 36mm x 48mm, and is thus double the size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors, and even more than double the sensors used in low-mid range DSLRs. The sheer size of the sensor means it takes about 1.1 seconds per frame, but clearly you're sacrificing speed for professional ultra-high quality. It's got a 3-inch screen, integrated CCD cooler and can shoot up to ISO400. There's no word on pricing, so you'll have to wait until closer to its October launch to find out how much cash it'll cost you (rather a lot.) [Hasselblad]

Disney's Mickey Digital Camera Unintentionally Gives Toddlers a Goatse Facial

Careful what kind of digital camera you give your kids from the Disney Store these days, otherwise the spawn of your loins could end up putting a goatse right up against their chubby cherubic faces. Then, their virgin innocence robbed from them, they'll probably go around leaving this 8MB camera in the darker places of your house, hoping to catch a few nether region images of their own (of poor quality, btw, this is actually a pretty poor camera to begin with). You've been warned. — Thanks, Chris, we think? [The Disney Store]

DXG-567V Camcorder is HD-recording, YouTube-ing Flip Cam Rival

DXG's new 567v looks designed to join Flip cam lookalikes in the YouTube camcorder game. But this candybar form-factor camera packs in a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor and records at 1280 x 720 pixels HD resolution at 30 frames per second: meaning it's far beyond YouTube's video requirements. Recording to SDHC cards, it also comes with all the cabling to connect it to your TV and has ArcSoft TotalMedia editing software in the box. Available now for $179. Press release below. More »

Nikon D700 Announcement Slated for Next Monday

A retailer has confirmed the existence of the Nikon D700, even though Nikon hasn't announced it yet. The webpage for Digital Depot has posted "Nikon will be announcing the new Nikon D700 on Monday 30th June! Check back soon for details, images and specifications.” I wonder if they'll be waiting a little longer than some other retailers for their first box of D700s... [via photography bay]

The Camoria Camera Documents Your Memories Based on Feelings

You know how miserable you felt when your girlfriend dumped you? Apparently the Camoria camera would—and it would snap a photo of that little life gem and file it under the "what a bitch" category. The Camoria, as designer Akbiyik Volkan envisions it, is an ear mounted digital camera that documents your memories in digital form based on how you are feeling at the time. How it manages to do that exactly is not known, but the designer's page does mention that he is currently looking for a producer to make his concept a reality. [Coroflot via DVICE]

Sony Ericsson C905 8.1-Megapixel Cybershot Phone Gets Official Specs

Twice we've brought you leaked info on Sony Ericsson's upcoming C905 cellphone, and today at last Sony came good with official specs. The camera in its slider body is indeed an 8.1-megapixel one, with xenon flash, auto-focus, face detection and image stabilization. The phone's also pretty full-featured, and is GPS-ready, with a 2.4-inch TFT screen and TV-out capability as we'd heard. So is it a camera with a bolt-on phone or the other way around? Read the specs in the press release to decide. Simultaneously, Sony came up with news of the S302 Snapshot, which sounds like a lower-spec sibling to the C905 with just 2-megapixels and a fixed-focus lens. Both should be available late this year.

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera Takes Swimming Lessons to Become Nigh Indestructable

While Fisher-Price's Kid-Tough digital camera was already built to withstand the Guantanamo-level torture your average four-year-old dishes out to their toys, the latest model will hold up to 30 minutes of waterboarding too, despite a rounder, slimmer body. The insides have gotten an upgrade as well, with a 1.3MP sensor (up from 640x480) and 64MB of storage that'll hold 500 closeups of your kid's boogers. [Fisher-Price]

iPod Nano With a 2MP Camera...Well, Sort Of

Leave it to Chinese manufacturer BTL International to ~~improve~~ ripoff the iPod Nano design by throwing in a 2-megapixel camera. Outside of that, the device, dubbed the M2406, supports AVI videos, and MP3, WMA, WMV and WAV audio files. It also features a 2.4-inch TFT screen, a built-in speaker and six EQ settings. Internal flash memory ranges from 128MB to 4GB, but you could always supplement that with a miniSD card. [Product Page via PMP Today via Gadgetizer]

The M&C 15-in-1 portable media player is one such culprit, with functions like video and MP3 playback, MPEG-4 video recording, still digital camera, digital wallet, TV, and gameplay all jam-packed in one device, thus guaranteeing piss poor quality in favor of a smorgasbord of functions.
