Tomy's Wonderful Shot

Juniper Foo | Oct 27, 2004

Never mind that dogs see the world in a limited range of colors, Japanese toy maker Tomy has made a camera for canines. Which means we finally get to find out where the heck Sparky the StarHub dog goes roaming next. The device clips on the front of the pooch's collar and can be be timed to snap candids from 1 to 60 minutes, or remotedly triggered. The 8MB onboard memory is rated as good for up to 90 images, although the lack of flash means night shots are out. Still, this ought to be loads of fun for dog owners. Say arrf, er, cheese.
