TWO-OUNCE CAMERA TAKES EIGHT PHOTOS (Aug, 1933)

That’s actually very impressive. I wonder how well it worked.

TWO-OUNCE CAMERA TAKES EIGHT PHOTOS
A pygmy camera, hardly larger than a golf ball, has been put upon the market in New York City. It weighs less than two ounces, and carries sufficient sixteen-millimeter film, the size used in amateur moving picture cameras, to take eight exposures. The camera’s size can be noted in the picture above.

  1. Charlie,

    I eyeballed a frame from my 16mm computer animation in comparison to some Instamatic 110 negatives and it looks like 16mm is 1/4 the surface area of 110.

    And mathematically, 1/4 the surface area of 35mm.

    Probably equivalent to a 1.3megapixel digital camera.
    640 x480?

    DANG!
    Where is my mini digital camera!?!
