Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to take a picture, but you didn’t have your camera with you? Most everyone has. The Casio WQV10D-2 camera is always with you, because you wear it! Sure, you could pull out your cell phone and snap a pic, but that’s so yesterday. This “little” beauty not only can increase your arm strength, but also can keep racoons at bay. Now, if only I can figure out a way to get a TV tuner in this thing…
