Necono – Creative Digital Camera
Necono digital camera from Superheadz is truly an innovative piece. This Tokyo based company has manufactured the camera in the shape of a cat! The body of the camera is shaped like a white colored cat with orange stripes.
The dimension of the cat’s body are 10×3×3cm and weighs about 40 grams. Thus, it’s quite miniature and, lightweight. Superheadz is known for innovative and imaginative approach towards manufacture of digital cameras. The digital camera has a very catchy marketing headline also, “No longer a camera, more like a pet.”
The lens of the digital camera is located in the eyes of the cat, that’s specific to the left eye. While, the right eye acts as the sensor. The shutter button is placed on the tail of the cat. The belly of the cat holds space for the micro SD card. Thus, even though it is shaped like a cat, the digital camera has significant expandable memory.
There are contacts on the feet of the cat, which enable the camera to be locked onto the monitor ground. You can say that the cat shaped camera has magnetic feet. You can actually stick this digital camera just about anywhere! You can click a picture from an elevation or also keep the camera really low. It is easy to also tilt this camera. You can get whimsical and click crazy photos with this device. The camera is extremely lightweight and compact. Thus, it can be easily carried to many places. Also, a strap can be attached to its tail to facilitate its mobility.
It has a self timer installed. This is a great feature for those who like to click self portraits. The digital camera also slots in the interval mode. The self timer as well as interval mode, enable one to get extremely creative with the camera and click photos every second.
The device can be connected to a computer through a USB located at the back of the cat’s head. After plugging the cat’s body into the monitor you can easily change the mode of the camera and also view the images the device is carrying. One major drawback is that the camera does not have a monitor. This means you cannot view beforehand the image you are about to click. However, a new version of this camera is expected soon that will also feature a monitor.
The image quality is pretty neat, about the same as that of the DH2+++, also the camera can click both still pictures and videos. The camera can click 3 megapixel images and also enable recording VGA videos. A microphone and CMOS sensor are installed in the camera. Micro SDHC as well as micro sd cards can be mounted in this device.
A very special feature of this camera is that it allows to capture relaxed faces. Most of the times, faces appear taut and tensed in photos. This is because the moment you look into the camera, your expressions changes. This camera doesn’t let this to happen. The camera is supposed to lighten up the moods and environments just like a pet does. Necono is actually the Japanese word for cat. So, have a happy time clicking away!
