Tiny DSLR-Style Camera is Smaller Than its Charger

If you’re looking for a camera that it small enough to fit in a nostril but which still lets you swap out the lenses like an SLR? Or perhaps you’re in the market for a toy that can shoot photos at 1600 x 1200 pixels (almost 2MP) and take video so bad, and with such […]

If you're looking for a camera that it small enough to fit in a nostril but which still lets you swap out the lenses like an SLR? Or perhaps you're in the market for a toy that can shoot photos at 1600 x 1200 pixels (almost 2MP) and take video so bad, and with such a prominent rolling shutter effect that it would make a Navy Seal seasick? Then you're in luck!

The CHOBi CAM ONE is such a piece of junk. Barely big enough to fit in the SD-cards on to which it records, the CAM ONE shoots its 30fps 640 × 480 video in every movie pirate's favorite format: XVID, in an AVI wrapper.

Lens "changing" is done by slipping a converter onto the front of the main lens, and you can choose from a 0/5x wide-angle, a 2x teleconverter (both $30) and a fisheye ($60). The charger that it ships with is amusingly twice the size of the camera, and the basic kit will cost you ¥9,800, or around $120.

This camera is pure novelty with one possible saving feature. It is keychain-small, and therefore likely to be with you always.
