without dash cams, we wouldn’t have witnessed the meteorite splattering over the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia last year. i mean who would have a camcorder always on standby to capture such an incident? probably no one. anyway, the moral of the story is this:
we have witnessed some rad retro-style digital cameras but the Digital Bolex D16 Cinema Camera you see here is probably the first video camera that shares the same retro styling. styled after the classic 16mm movie camera, the Digital Bolex D16 Cinema Camera was co-developed with
Quebee Wireless Camera may have failed in their recent Kickstarter endeavor, but that doesn’t make it any less attractive, at least not in our books. video selfie enthusiasts can look forward to this cute little device which will be relaunching in “early 2014”, presumably via Kickstarter
