These days its all about hi-def this hi-def that.  But what about lo-def.  I’m not talking about a throw back to analog.  But sometimes products that you can kick around and not give two sh*ts about are a nice break from our glistening and oh-so fragile iPhones.

The Mr. Clover digital camera captures 2 megapixel photos and thanks to its diminutive size can attach to a keychain.  There is a burst mode as well as a self timer mode.  Photojojo, who sells it, says it’s image capture is unpredicatable so you could end up with complete crap or some freak lens distortion that makes it a keeper.  Apparently, it even captures video, albeit at 10fps.

Size wise were looking at 1.5″ x 2.4″ x 0.8″ and it takes an SD card for memory.

You can nab one for $55.

Chinavision never ceases to amaze us with their endless myriad of novelty products.  But novelty doesn’t mean useless.

The Ultra Compact MiniDV Camcorder can record 640×480 video and capture 2 megapixel photos, but the real meat of this product is its ability to start recording when it detects motion.  And just like the product page says it’s perfect for capturing your cheating wife in the act.   Of course you could “life blog” with it, but that would just relegate it to a status of “crappy palm sized camcorder”.  You can grab one for $56.

Cell phones with built-in detachable Bluetooth headsets are one thing, but cameras?  The JinPeng E1181 features a detachable 2 megapixel camera that wirelessly transmits imagery over RF back to the phone’s 3-inch touchscreen LCD.  I’ve got my doubts about quality, but if you’re feeling spy like, you can grab one here for $155.
