Thanko Chisseina Miniature Cam 2
Tiny digital camera MP3 player voice recorder
They say that everything is smaller in Japan and in some ways that's not wrong. This funky little gadget is part digital camera, part audio player. It's the Chisseina Cam 2, a super tiny ("chisseina") camera by Thanko, the makers behind a whole series of original hit products in Japan.
Coming in two colors (silver or black), this miniature camera can fit in the palm of your hand but don't let that fool you. It can still take stills and video like any ordinary digital camera. But it's not quite what you think: It's more! It is also a handy voice recorder for meetings (or secret encounters). Pop it on the table and then you later listen to what was said without the speakers even realizing!
