Thanko's Super Mini Underwater Camcorder "Video Water"

Thanko's released a new super tiny camcorder the "video water" that'll make you struggle to find a use for it. This finger sized water-tight video recorder can be easily attached to anything and can ride-along capturing video. The camera functions just fine under water at depths of up to 20 meters. This is actually a bit too deep to be plausible. We reckon there's a typo or a problem with the Japanese translation from thanko's site. Resolution isn't great at 320x240 which is about the same as what you find on most cell phone displays but it can record up to 6 hours. Video's encoded in the .3gp format and the 2GB of onboard memory can hold over 6 hours video.

Unscrewing the rear cap reveals the mini-USB port that can be used to download the files as well as charging the battery. The interface is only of the USB 1.1 variety so if you record any great amount of time expect to spend a bit more offloading the files. Charge time to usage is about 1:1 maxing out at 3 hours to get a full charge for 3 hours of use. Sample videos should be on their site soon and at a $133 you should probably wait to make sure the quality matches your requirements before making the purchase.
