Thanko’s Button Camera Helps You Start Your Spy Career

Jason Bourne I am not. I have neither the chiseled features nor the eagle-eyed marksmanship. But I do have a little bit of guile, a closet full of button-up shirts and a spare ¥4,980 (about $58) to spend, so my international spy career may just get off the ground yet thanks to Thanko’s Spy Button video camera.

The camera, about the size of a small pack of gum, comes with black, white and pearl-colored buttons that allow it to attach to a shirt while being concealed inside it. With a 50-minute battery life, the 8-megapixel camera can also record 1280 x 960 HD video at 30 fps. This gadget, my entrée in to the dark arts of international espionage, connects to my computer through USB and can accommodate up to a 16 GB microSD card.

The camera can be bought stateside for a mark-up at Geek Stuff 4U. No word yet if the camera was employed by America’s favorite Russian spy ring.
