Here is the perfect gift a person you really hate.
The Aiptek pocket DV z200 video cam.
It comes with an optical zoom of 3x and a resolution of 640x480 for video and up to 2048 x 1536 on pictures. It's features are unique.
It can record slow moving objects really jerkily. The sound is completely useless. It will suprise you with over- or underdelivery when you least expect it, the photos are blurry and colourless. It is simply a technological marvel.
But all this is nothing compared to the performance in high speed vibrating environment like a gyro. Here the jerky movie falls apart and becomes wobbly, with parts of the picture moving in one direction the rest in another. Any, ever so small lighting change is punished with a long time over- or underexposure.
Amazing what todays cheap technology can achieve.
After all this hype, if you are strong enough, here is an example movie. It even includes a landing if you last that long.
