Sgt. Grump and Cableman went to the monthly computer show Saturday, and each of them came back with a digital camera on a keychain. I hate them–not so much for the mini-cameras, but for the price they paid: $32!! I have scoured the Internet, looking at pencams and keyring cams and wafer thin cams (they’re wafer thin), and no place have I seen them this cheap.
There are trade offs, of course. The resolution is only 0.1 megapixel. The viewfinder is a joke. It only takes 20 shots at 352 x 288 resolution, 80 shots at 176 x 144. And Grump had to fashion a cardboard insert for the little case, so the activation button wouldn’t be pressed in his pocket, wearing down the battery. But $32! And it does a decent job of acting as a web cam and taking a few seconds of video.
So that I’m even for calling Bill a sexy smurf, here’s a pic of my ugly mug, taken with Grump’s keychain (image degraded by converting to jpg and by the subject matter).

Who knew that a 32 dollar digi cam would do such a great job at retouching? *ducks*

That pictures not too bad, considering it came from a $32 camera. I think I need one of those to go with my USB drive on my keychain.

Maybe you hired one of those Hollywood character actors to, shall we say, “portray” you….
Wondering, just wondering.

surprisingly, it’s a very good picture for a 32$ digital camera!
Ok, so what do you call this?
I forgot I had this.
That’s not surprised. That’s wasted on Guinness.
Over all the years, I don’t ever remember seeing that Guinness look on you….
Now, on me, sure. But on you? Whooooooo
