    umm…

  • toastfacegrillah on 10/05/2013 - 23:29

    …that's 90% cheaper than an lcd attachment for the Sony Action Cam alone!
    If only there was a way to hack it to fit :)

    1.3MP High Definition?? I can't find anything not in High Definition then

    • chipstss on 10/05/2013 - 23:51

      Anything >1280x720 resolution is considered HD.

    • llama on 11/05/2013 - 00:18

      1.3MP High Definition??

      It does 1280 x 1025 which is 4:3 aspect HD.

      Widescreen HD is only 1280 x 720

  • SLATYE on 10/05/2013 - 23:40

    Plenty of them around Canberra too.

    Might as well buy one and stick it to an RC plane; at this price I'll probably spend more fixing the plane after a crash than I spent on the camera.

      Or just buy an RC helicopter camera for ~$35.

        You obviously haven't visited hackaday.com

  • retiredfeline on 10/05/2013 - 23:40

    Yeah saw a pile at Rhodes DSE. It's alright for young kids, but anybody who has a P&S or even a phone camera can take videos already.

    • Russ on 11/05/2013 - 00:21

      Most phone cameras are terrible in low light due to the small lens. This will probably produce better-quality images/video in low light.

      That said, it's pretty low on features. 4x digital zoom is about all there is. I always cringe when I see claims like "can take 5MP images (interpolated)".

      Apparently you can take stills with it as well, although I couldn't see an identifiable shutter button in the images on the DSE website.

    seen these at almost every DSE I've been to. A piece of rubbish IMO

      Except it hasn't?

  • King Tightarse on 11/05/2013 - 00:12

    With one of these, $20, and a pot of curry, you could own Bollywood…

      What's the $20 for? Bribes?

      • King Tightarse on 11/05/2013 - 00:37

        Budget.

          Bucket, ladle and left hand.

    Pass. Looks like rubbish.

  • parker2004au on 11/05/2013 - 10:42

    Anyone found any video footage of it uploaded any where?

  • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2013 - 12:58

    I'm voting it down for the following reason….

    It is seriously rubbish. I just bought one from Vic Gardens. It's going to be returned later today. The quality is like from a mobile phone from 5 years ago. There's also a weird sound interference all over the audio. Lastly, there's an image of a printed circuit board imposed onto all the footage you shoot of bright backgrounds. Thanks to the OP for posting though. I always look forward to theearth's posts and this thing would have been great if it worked ok.

    • AMLagonda on 11/05/2013 - 13:11

      I bought one just now and yer it has this static sound on the audio :/

      This camera is junk but hey its is only 10 bucks, it had a price tag on it of $39.95 :o

      Any mobile phone would do the same job and as a plus would have a rechargeable battery
      as this camera takes expensive AAA batteries, I bought it knowing I have AAA rechargeables

    • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2013 - 21:47

      @Wonder man,

      I am so sorry that my post is causing you a headache.

      Thanks for your kind support.

      Have a good evening

      Kind regards

  • AMLagonda on 11/05/2013 - 16:40

    Im negging it as honestly I threw $10 away, the camera is useless and it is too light as a door stop or a paper weight!

    I honestly dont know what DSE was thinking selling these.

    • andy19363 on 11/05/2013 - 16:46

      I honestly dont know what DSE was thinking selling these.

      They were thinking that people would buy them….. and….. guess what

  • effgee on 11/05/2013 - 19:23

    Well, if you're going to buy a cheap camera, at least choose one with a decent name….like Leica ($1 -pricing error, actual price $1723 when you click "buy")

    http://elitecameras.com.au/product/leica-x2-black-digital-ca…

    • hollykryten on 12/05/2013 - 22:31

      As if they're going to honour that pricing error.

  • R2them on 11/05/2013 - 20:16

    Bought two for my nephews. At least I'll look like I made an effort to buy them something nice… Until they turn them on.
