Mini keyring-sized digital camera/camcorder

Was wondering, do you guys feel a bit suspicious now with being recorded? I mean do you pay close attention to someone's keys if they are on the table and you are chatting to them!
 
I've just run some benchmarks on the Kingston 4GB Micro SDHC Class 4 cards that OcUK sell. Should be a fine for for these cameras.

UPDATE: These were tested with a USB SDHC card reader (from Poundland) and not through the camera itself.

I'm still waiting for my camera but the 8GB Transcend arrived today so i picked up one of the same card readers from Poundland. Just in case anyone is looking for a memory card, here are the stats using the same benchmarking software:

Iv bought myself a spektrum DX6i Full range radio and a flight simulator, planning on getting a nitro plane soon so I think something like this might be good :)

Does anyone know if attaching this to a trainer RC plane (wot4 maybe?) would mess up the weight/aerodynamics too much?


Wish i had moneh for a POV cam though, with some super goggles, that would be fun times.

Are any microsd cards ok? or have ppl been having problems?

Not sure to be honest. Some people posting in this thread claim to have had stuttering video problems cured by replacing their memory card and some say that any card will do. I erred on the side of caution and bought what i thought was a good speed card for a reasonable price.

I wouldn't be surprised if the camera manufacturer's quality control isn't the best, which wouldn't be much of a surprise given the price, and that could possibly be a factor if performance varies amongst owners. But this is all talk; i don't even own one yet!

Seems like a guys gadget, so unless they like filming other men secretly then we shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Although I will keep a look out for them.
 
Howdy,

I have trawled through loads of pages in this thread...

Can someone tell me the definitive eBay seller for a #3? HK, UK does not matter.

Also any SD cards that are good.

Cheers!
 
Guys, when ever I connect mine to windows 7 via usb, it no longer brings on the yellow LED and windows says it is no longer working, doesnt even see it as a storage device, I tried resetting the camera, but to no luck, it also won't turn on :(

Any ideas?

Sounds like that one is bust, if the reset doesnt work then its not looking good im afraid if its not turning on. Worth taking it apart and making sure there are no screws loose or loose connections.

This one is where I and many others here bought from and they are all #3.

Most micro SD cards will be fine. 4Gb is a good minimum because a fully charged battery will record approximately 4Gb of video.
 
Mine has just arrived, im so excited! I need to grow up :D Got mine from linjiechong like most others and can confirm they are indeed No3's. Quite supprised just how tiny the thing is, I knew it would be small but its super small. Let the fun begin!

Lighting wasnt very good. Cat is as curious as ever, now just got to create a cat-harness. The clicking at the end is my trying to turn it off, the microphone is very sensitive.

Ive just ordered one from there. How long did it take?
 
i simply don't know how to handle mine and keep taking spectacular shots of ceilings lol

need more practice.
 
First time I've actually flicked through this thread..

I can't help but think, what an utterly pointless waste of time. It just goes to show how far the obsession with taking pictures and videos of absolutely anything/everything has gone.

I also can't help but think this technology will be completely abused by perverts - no doubt there's a fair few with those intentions!
 
yea that has been said a few times shify

but it is amazing tech, when you open it and you see the technology it is quite amazing. looks like something from intelligence agency lol. :D

especially at £10

next time police hassle me i can whip it out and get their crimes on camera. i was thinking of using while going to the NHS to document how pathetic they are and how they treat people.

LOL shifty you are surprised tha people are excited about a good product for 10 quid on a tech forum where people cream themselves over some ram and water based cooling which adds 3 marks on 3DMark!!!!!


Away you go and moan in the apple thread there are 1000s of posts per day from people buying overpriced pointless tech. Look at the ipad. ;)
