Countdown does it again!

P-Money · 25th October 2004, 14:46

First it was cheap dvd players, now its digital cameras for $30!

Ok so they're .1 megapixel...sue me.

Sgt Seb · 26th October 2004, 01:23

Hmm lol...is 1 megapixel the same as what the first mobile phones with cameras came with?

Madoka · 26th October 2004, 02:49

for 30 dollars.. oh sweet, gotta buy one

No way. AFAIK 1mp phones are pretty recent and considered top of line (in NZ at least) eg gx30, 7610..

At a guess. In simple terms, they have a final image resolution of around about 320x240.
320x240/1m = 0.07.

VERT · 26th October 2004, 12:05

what do they use as storage?

fidgit · 26th October 2004, 13:33

almost certainly 16 megs of flash ram

MoP · 26th October 2004, 13:35

Storage? Haha.. for $30 you think you'll get storage??? bwahahahaa

OK. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Peterlplp · 26th October 2004, 14:06

16 megs would be pretty good for a $30 cam considering you get the same from $699 sonys (DSCL1S).

Anyone buy it yet? How are the pics?
I'd like a cheap semi-disposable cam to live in my backpack for ufo sightings.

VERT · 26th October 2004, 16:16

you could store a hit load of .1 megapixel photos on 16mb

StN · 26th October 2004, 19:24

Milk... eggs... toast bread... toothpaste... Oh Sh!t - I need a new electric ceiling fan! WTF am I gonna do?? - Oh - right next to the 0.1M pixel cameras, sweet.

It would certainly be stylistically in keeping with ufo photography.

...pixelated blurry shot of frisbeeOMG UFOMMORPG

Matt0r · 26th October 2004, 20:32

someone must buy it, and take pics... or there could be doubt in some peoples mind of the event actually taking place.

Madoka · 26th October 2004, 22:05

going to check out my countdown now, brb, post after test!

quality is on par with your average webcam I think
it hass builtin 16 sdram, if you take your battery out, your photos will be gone.

Lylmik · 26th October 2004, 23:30

Those pictures are actually a lot better than I was expecting.
But then you can get 1 Megapixel cameras for $100 and 3 megapixel cameras for $200.

Meh.

Madoka · 26th October 2004, 23:54

well I don't really need a megapixel or 2 cameras since I already have a dslr,.. just bought this one for pocket use,.. and it's really really small, think of the size of a little bigger than your cf card

can take 60 pictures in compressed mode, 20 in non compressed mode, can take videos, selftimer mode, continuous shot... etc etc
not bad for $24.95

A Corpse · 27th October 2004, 00:03

Show us how big it is! Take a picture of it with it!

And using a mirror is cheating.

Madoka · 27th October 2004, 01:07

hmm how do i do that

xin · 27th October 2004, 02:00

Buy another.

Spink · 27th October 2004, 02:03

this is perfect for random desk/room/sudden home invasion pictures without having to buy a proper expensive camera or a camera phone. Is this at all countdowns? Is there a countdown in wellington cbd?

Jville is the closest. With its wonderfully stupid staff, and retarded managers.

What is their sensitivity to light like? the $25 Cameraphone Clip on thingie I baught off trademe for my T68i needs to have the room floodlit to get a semi-decent picture :( .

P-Money · 27th October 2004, 12:57

They sell them on an informerical for $129.00
"The Breezecam"
*snigger*

Madoka · 27th October 2004, 14:47

hmm light sensitivity is acceptable in day light at this price, I gotta shoot some in night time to test.

Spink · 28th October 2004, 19:10

Sold out in Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Jville, and Porirua. I am not going to Wainuiomata to get one so I'm not even gonna bother calling them. Porirua said they sold their last one on Tuesday everyone else was just looking to get me off the phone as fast as possible

OY636 · 28th October 2004, 19:20

foodtown have them as well.

Might get one now. The kind of thing that is good to take to parties, if it gets destroyed no big worry.

combatspoon · 28th October 2004, 19:23

I live in Wainuiomata (

) maybe I should see if they still have any.

xin · 28th October 2004, 21:30

Jaycar sell them too, for $35

curses · 28th October 2004, 23:08
