Digital Blue Announces NightVision Video Camera and U-Turn Digital Camera

Written on Jan 16, 2009 by Brian and filed under Digital Blue, News

Digital Blue used CES to launch more than just Lego branded electronics. They also rolled out two optical devices for kids, the the NightVision digital video camera and the U-Turn digital camera. NightVision lets kids record video in complete darkness and U-Turn takes photos that can be morphed into goofy new images.

Digital Blue NightVision Video Camera

The NightVision Video Camera lets kids see and record video in pitch black conditions. The infrared technology helps kids see objects in the dark up to 20 feet away on a 2″ LCD display. Video footage is recorded and saved on the camera’s internal memory. The recorded videos can be played back on the camera’s 2” LCD screen or downloaded to a PC. The unit also features a built-in flashlight for safety, and a daytime recording mode.

Digital Blue’s Night Vision Video Camera will be available this summer for a suggested $79.99.

Digital Blue U-Turn Digital Camera

There are dozens of choices for kids when it comes to digital cameras, many even let kids add effects to their shots. But nothing works quite like the U-Turn. The U-Turn features a large 2.4” LCD view screen that swivels from back to front so kids can see themselves when taking self-portraits or shots of a group of friends. After the picture is taken, kids can use one of 12 morph effects to instantly give their photo a twist, literally. Think fun-house mirrors and you’ll get the idea. The U-Turn can also work as a standard camera and has enough internal memory to store 80 images.

U-Turn will be available this spring at a suggested retail of $49.99.
