Sony has just shown his news 3 megapixel camera that looks like a pizza cutter. This curious shape has a meaning, it makes it easier to reload the battery. Every time you want to take a picture you have to roll the wheel against a surface during 15~20 seconds until you generate enough energy to take a picture.
La cámara sin batería de Sony se llama “Twirl N’ Take”.

Absolute genius… to a degree. While it is a nice idea, and I can definitely imagine a whole plethora of applications (such as in disaster zones), I just don’t see it taking the world (or Japan for that matter) by storm. Japan always comes up with these nifty and out-of-the-ordinary gadgets. But you never see them outside Japan. I wonder, do products like these (which are quite clever) ever find a large market?
sorry sony…i’ll pass…the couldn’t come up with a more fun way to recharge the battery…like using it for a hoola hope?
What’s this? Could it be a zapper thingie? Look at the circle… there… *click*… then you lose your memory of the last 48 hours…
I wonder how many man-hours and testing costs they spent on this odd camera…? I have to say it is a bit cute though…
