A camera suitable for...
Hello all.
Wondering if you could suggest something for me here. I know someone who is going to participate in the New York marathon and he would like to know if there is a gadget of some description that will take pictures as he jogs the marathon course. I remember seeing somewhere and have now forgotten the specifics of a gadget that can be worn, I think around the neck, that would take pictures every so often depending on certain stimuli - like a sudden stop. Of course, when running a marathon, having something loose around your neck is the last thing you want (unless you have a sadistic bent). Having said all that, all he is looking for is something that can be attached to something (shirt, wrist...) and will take pictures intermittently. Picture quality is not really an issue, but of course, it would be nice to have something recognisable at the end of the event. Any suggestions? Any mentioned will be greatfully appreciated. J. Arnold, London. |

Arnold, London. I am not sure I would want to carry one running a marathon, but the last time my son and I ran one together he carried a disposable film camera. We got some great photos of Dublin and all the people along the way. I would suggest the smallest digital you can find, hopefully one that does not require any input other than pressing the button which is easy to press. After a few miles thinking about settings is not going to happen. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
