What is it about a top hat, cane and monocle? Surely in the 21st Century we've gotten past those arcane things to sell products. But no, as evidenced by JVC's announcement for its new Picsio pocket camera, they believe people can still be attracted to a low-end movie camera with high-end features by dressing the thing up and making it dance.
According to JVC, the Picsio shoots 8-megapixel stills and 1080p HD video (not really, according to Engadget), yet looks like Mr. Peanut and dances like Fred Astaire. It's available in three colors with a finish reminiscent of the Spirit of St. Louis. It's got something for everybody -- everybody born before 1925, that is.
And if you weren't already sold on that, there's the video:
All this and for only $200 (not counting the required SD card that's not included). How could you possibly resist? It can dance!
