Looks cool. How much did you pay for it and what's it like?

Got mine through an Ebay store since AmazonUK won't ship this item overseas (I'm in the US). It's exactly as described on the webiste, a tiny little digital camera--made more coll by the 007 licence on the product. Its strictly for us Bond fans or gadget freaks since the megapixels are below 1 and I am sure there are other digital cameras with the same ratings for less. My cost was (including shipping to the US: 68 GBP).

Cute, but not too useful for my mission... chasing after the Moonraker ;-)

Although, you could use it after catching the Moonraker... you know, inside telescopes just don't do the trick anymore. :)

After I catch the Moonraker, I'll be too busy kissing goodbye to Gala Brand... a few times.

Righty007... you can buy a new cam At gadgetshop.com search the site for "James Bond" and the cam should pop up.

Or you can try this direct link (not sure if it'll work) to the cam page ->here

It's a cute little camrea.

Incidently, MGM gave away cameras to a select few. Like this one, they were made by L'espion (though not zippo like), and features the DAD logo.

I'm astounded by how easy this camera and it's software is to use. The plastic body of the JB1 suffers a bit if wear and tear when you take it in and out of the lighter case, which is a shame, but otherwise it's a great bit of kit. Sound recording function also works surprisingly well considering the tiny microphone.

Looks like firebox have run out of their stock, which is a real pity because I was just about to order one!! :)

Does anyone know any online stores (apart from the ones mentioned in previous posts - they all cost too much for shipping to Australia, or don't ship here at all) where I can purchase the JB1?

If anyone is from Australia like me, and can inform me of Australian retail &/or online stores where I can purchase this camera, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :)

Does anyone know if this is a limited run product or will there be
plenty to go around eventually? Also, do you know if they will
be carried in the US?
Thanks Ken

I have not seen nothing to indicate a limited run. Plus, the camera has a 5 year replacement warranty, so presuming the company stays in business, there should be cameras to go around.

Well, looks like firebox.com have their stock back...it was only then, on my way to ordering, I checked the shipping cost to Australia...20 pounds! That's almost a third of the price of the product itself! Ridiculous! :mad:

Sorry firebox.com, looks like its ebay for me!
