Posted by chrisd on from the neat-as-heck-but-not-a-nikon dept.

camborg writes "Casio announced (in this Japanese Press Release) a new version of the famous wrist watch camera, which goes on sale in japan on the 23rd of November. The new model features a STN 4096 color display to directly view the color images on the wrist. The watch has a bit updated look and feel. Everything else is pretty much the same as the WQV-3 series color wrist camera. No release date for the USA yet. Photos of the watch can be seen at http://www.i4u.com"

    great, now we can get our exotic dancers in full (arright, 4096) colour...

    Jpeg 176x144 resolution, something about 115,200 link speed (sounds like serial to me.)
    unimpressed.

    until it runs a trinary non-clock based system and has 9 megapixel resolution, and oh yeah, makes coffee, then I'll pass.

    But damn, it's cool...

    Do NOT give this watch as a gift to any farm vetrinatrian you know. The shutter button is too easily triggered if you know what I mean.

    Tristan: "Seigfreid, come take a look at this photo on my wrist watch.."
    Seigfreid: "My god! Is that Mr. Crowleys cow?"
    Tristan: "I'm afraid so. I nip back out there and lance that abcess right away."
    Seigfried: "And while you're at it, you might want to tidy up your watch - it's a bit rancid."

    Japan dominates the cool gadget industry so well, they wrote a HOW-TO .
