The BigShot students' camera

Bert alerted me to this unique digital camera, BigShot. Just for one thing, it can take pictures without batteries, by use of a hand-crank to charge it.
Eight or nine years ago there were rumors that the first Apple iBook would have such a feature, but the power requirements for a laptop are much bigger than a digicam, so it's probably not a practical use for a dynamo.

Also the user (aimed at kids) can take it apart and build it.
