The Credit Card Camera – take home anything you want to!

On camera, that is. This little digital camera is the size of a credit card and as thin as my credit balance (0.5cm!) It may not be particularly high resolution (0.3 Megapixels), but it’s no gimmick, either.

There’s no excuse for being caught without a camera again when those moments pop up that you want to take home to share. You don’t see them coming – those moments tend to present themselves from out of the blue. “WHY didn’t I have my camera,” can be as far in the past as “Why didn’t I have my credit card?” Ever notice just how quickly you can wip out a credit card when the moment calls for it? Well, the same goes for this little camera.

This is one credit card that won’t make your spouse turn pale when you charge it! Which, by the way, you can do from your computer. It has a lithium battery that recharges from your computer during download. (A USB cable is part of the package, as is a hanging strap, user manual and software that includes “Photoimpression” and “Funhouse” to edit your pictures when you’ve downloaded them to your PC.)

Other specifications include a built-in viewfinder, auto exposure and white balance adjuster, 64Mb memory (SDRam), an image resolution of 640 x 320 pixels, auto shoot 10 secs, continuous shoot 10 pics per second and a shutter speed of 1/6 – 1/15000second. It also has an automatic energy saver after 30 seconds, so that you don’t waste battery power – and you can even use it as a webcam!

It may not give you credit, but you’ll certainly give yourself the credit for taking home all those wonderful moments and memories that would have passed you by in the bad old days before the credit card camera!
