Clap for your photos

Saturday, 21st January 2012 at 8:23am

AttachmentClap.jpgHere is a great new mini digial camera called Clap. Small in size and it has a retro feel (without an LCD screen). It's ideal for popping in your pocket or handbag for all those special occasions.

It apparently records up to 30 seconds of video, has storage of between 2GB and 16GB and also acts as a USB drive.

It has been available through Amazon, however they are a bit short on supply at the moment so if you want one you will have to keep hunting.
