This is exactly why I have a huge beef with the going green movement and capitalism. Just because something is green it seems it doesnt matter how poor the design is. Things still need to serve a useful and practical use. Dyson is someone who shows how a vacuum can be designed in a way that is efficent and effective.

I find the concept very interesting. Though this would definitely make for a lousy camera, I would love to see this sort of technology incorporated into more serious cameras in the future. It’s useless now, but who knows where this sort of tech would lead us in a few more years of development.

While I usually applaud every effort to green our environment, Sony is joking with this \’camera\’, isn\’t it?

15 seconds of spinning to charge for each photo; no viewfinder; no screen; no flash (?)… As a toy, a curiosity, it might have some value, but as a \’real\’ camera? It won\’\'t even work as a gadget for kids as, without a screen, I can\’t see anyone being impressed with it.

Producing green products is always commendable, but those products have to be functional. This thing isn\’t. I dread to think of the resources used in developing it. Now that is waste!

Sorry,. I NEVER advocate waste, but I\’ll be sticking to my planet-killing, battery powered camera.

If this is the best our scientists can come up with to help us save the world, then God help us.
