A Japanese company is producing an ultra-thin camera that is no thicker than a piece of paper. While there are a number of teeny tiny cameras on the market, this device takes the concept of paper-thin quite literally.
The tiny device is named 'Paper Like a Digital Camera' and it measures only 6mm in width. Despite its unbelievable dimensions, the device comes with many of the same features found on larger models. The ultra-thin camera has photo, video and audio-recording capabilities and it can accommodate a 16GB microSD card. There is also a built-in USB port for easy charging. Although the photo and video quality is fairly low at only 1.3 megapixels, the grainy imagery seems fitting for a device that is inspired by vintage cameras.
