He looks like he's banging on the lens, screaming "GET ME OUT! GET ME OUT!"

Ah! But Peters' is real technology (working, looks like SLR) as distinct from Disney fake ( looks like videocam). Lego-man prison. (or is that prism!)laugh

That's how it works, don'tchaknow. When you press the button, you activate a whip which forces a little person inside the camera casing to paint a picture very, very fast (another Pterry reference).

Nah, there are no whips involved - the little man is more likely to stick his head out, saying "You're out of red!"

The inside is a Benq DC E300, which is a fairly poor point and shoot, 3Mpix but nice and thin smile

As for the outside, I want to go for the rangefinder look, like an old Leica or Zorki.
