 Sony Odo Twirl N' Take If you want to see your world through a green-colored lens, make the environmental upgrade to the eco-friendly Sony Odo Twirl N’ Take digital camera. Instead of being powered by batteries, the 3 mega-pixel Odo gets its juice from your power alone. There’s a wheel on top of the camera body that, when spun by the user for 15 seconds, gives the digicam the power it needs to snap a shot. By no means is it low-tech. It has LED lights that flash to indicate when it’s read to take the photo. Reviewing the photos is as simple as mounting the camera on the flowerpot-shaped docking station. Unfortunately it’s still only in its concept stage, but it’s sure to be a success once it hits production.  The camera is the latest addition to Sony's "odo" line of hand-powered prototypes aimed at raising environmental awareness.
Other products include a "Crank N' Capture" video camera, which is charged by cranking a lever, and a "Spin N' Snap" camera, which has a hole to enable users to spin it with their finger.
