It is our fascination with death, perhaps, that makes us view everything from the eye of destruction. Like connection cheese cake with Frankenstein, we make gross associations that appear almost insane in retrospect.
The Paillard Bolex H8 Military gun is a weapon that you wouldn’t want to choose when you are in danger, because instead of shooting bullets this gun can only shoot videos. With a camera attached, the gun was apparently made for a Vietnam War reporter. The rare gun would definitely have placed the reporter in more trouble instead of helping him out of a dangerous situation. The camera attached has 5x lenses so you would be able to shoot some pretty good pics with this little weapon.

As the the Tibetan saying goes, ‘Yama will see all life and Karma is the judge that keeps the balance, the camera too is built in sync with the Buddhist teaching.
The intimidating name lends the camera a unique mechanism. Yama’s eyes are cast in broze and silver with a brass pinhole in each. The skull comprises of two different cameras that are separated by a divider running down the middle of it. Then there is a finished contact print mounted on copper at the back of the camera which enable us to see 3D via the Yama.

The fruition of Sanyo Xacti HDTV tapeless camcorders compensates from intellectual design and appeal with the DMX-HD800, whose manufacturer believes it seizes a “huge leap in image quality” over its precursor that got unveiled last October.

The featured above model sports 5x zoom, 8-megapixel imager, face tracking plus a 2.7-inch LCD view screen. Planned to be shipped in Japan on 22 August, it can be seen as a budgeted deal for $468.
Point is it would bring a revolution in the mindset and performance of all random camera companies that believe that an HD camcorder should cost twofold and will be constrained to pursue suit.
