The Fuuvi Pick is probably the cutest digital camera ever made. The Pick stands about three centimeters tall and is being marketed as a "toy digital camera." Tell me how many "toy" cameras can take 1.3 megapixel pictures and shoot video at 720x480.
While the Pick is definitely not a true digital camera, I also wouldn't call it a toy. Perhaps the coolest feature of the Pick is its built-in USB drive. The camera can hold up to 16GB of memory on a Micro SD card which "will be immediately recognized as a drive on your PC, just like a flash drive," according to the Technabob website. This camera is ideal for youngsters who are always trying to get a hold of mom and dad's camera. The Fuuvi Pick comes in a variety of colors and is currently selling for $59.
