Pocket Spy Camera

Disguised as a lighter, this truly pocket-friendly digital camera is an essential part of any respectable secret agent’s bag of tricks. The l’espion S not only takes photos, but it also records movies and sounds.   And with a super small file size, the camera holds up to 150 pictures at 640 x 480, and up to 310 pictures at 320 x 240.

Particularly interesting for the paranoid?  Surveillance mode, where you can record images at pre-set time intervals.  Perfect for covert observation for up to 19 days.
