Flee Aerial Digital Camera Allows For Soaring Shots
Here’s a really cool gadget that was totally made for the extreme sports industry. It’s called the Flee Digital Camera and was designed for aerial photography. It looks like a NERF toy of some sort crossed with badminton and it works like so:
As soon as the Flee launches, it begins to snap multiple photos at a speed interval of your choice. By the time it returns to earth, not only will it have a slew of aerial photographs, but it will automatically deliver them to your mobile phone via Bluetooth.
Like I said, sounds like it could be used for skydiving, snowboarding, cycling, wakeboarding, etc. Of course, you could get real dirty and shove one up your wife’s…
Are you an aspiring photographer who just can’t seem to find people’s faces when taking a picture? Well if you are, the Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd is perfect for you. This 6-megapixel camera is the first to come with face detection technology. What is face detection technology you might ask? Well, when you are preparing to take a picture, you hit the “faceâ€? button, and the camera will scan the picture for 2 eyes and a mouth. Once it finds those, it will make a box around the face and track it around the picture. Ok, this is pointless. With the time it takes to scan the image, you could look at the screen and spend oh, maybe 2 seconds to find a face. Honestly how hard is it to find a person’s face on a screen? Anyways, some other features included in the FinePix S6500fd include a 10.7x zoom, which is pretty impressive, and a 2.5 inch LCD. This beast of a camera also comes with 10MB of memory and a 300 picture battery. This is a good camera for amateurs, but for nearly $500, it’s a little much for the FinePix S6500fd. Maybe they were hoping that the idiots who need face detection technology will be duped into paying $500 for this camera. — Nick Rice
