Why Does The World’s Smallest Camera Need To Exist?

For snooping, of course. You think you can silently hop fences and climb fire escapes chasing after that cheating wife of yours with a huge D-SLR swinging around your neck? No, but it’d probably be a bit easier with this diminutive camera in your pocket instead.

The tiny device measures a little over 6sqcm and weighs just 14g. It uses automatic focus so you’ve only got one button — for the shutter — to worry about when you’re perched on a ledge outside a third-storey window. In addition to taking 2MP 1600×1200 stills, it also records AVI video at 30 fps at 640×480 resolution to the included 2GB microSD — though it does accept cards up to 32GB. But you’d better be quick with your spying, the battery only lasts 30 minutes on a one-hour charge. It’s available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $US100. [HS via Geek Sugar]
