I’d like to thank Sabrina of Oxygenergy Electronics for providing us with the OX Hipspot for review.
Have you ever been somewhere and said to yourself "damn i wish i had a camera on me" ? Well Oxygenergy Electronics
has a solution for you with their OX Hipspot digital Camera that fits in your pocket and does double duty as a keychain.
The hipspot comes equipped with Software, keychain, and a USB cord to download your pictures to your computer.
Now the Hipspot isn't your typical digital camera, it weighs in at .04 pounds and dimensions of 2" x 1.5" x 0.4" .
Small size is not the only thing this little dynamo boasts, it has plenty of extra features. The camera can also be used a webcam, take 30 sec video clips, has a Self-timer for auto-shooting and Automatically switches off if not used after 30 seconds to save the battery.
Above we have a picture of the camera with it's popup viewfinder.
