Contraptions

2005-08-21 by Eric Ashworth

I'm not sure about the camera van but I have seen the "minidigi" as  
it's called.  I think it's only being sold by Rollei's Japanese  
distributor.  It goes for a mere $375 (at least that's the price I've  
managed to locate) and gives you a HUGE <g> 2 MP, square format  
image, oooooh. Anyone interested can see it here,

make sure to check out the promo video about 3/4 of the way down the  
page.  Pretty adorable.  Makes me wanna get one.

Back to the van, talk about a "motor drive" for his cameras.  LOL.
