    Man, that has got to be the world's ugliest camera.

    It looks more like an electric razor or a flashlight.

    If the IQ was impressive I might think about it- but $800 seems a bit steep.

    LOL! I think it's the HD effect. If they say it has HD then they feel they can sell it for more. Plus not that many of them are being made. But yes, the price is probably double of what it should have been imho :)

    You are right, it reminded me of those flashlights are guaranteed for life (or 2 years whichever comes first!)
