Hey guys,
I am looking for wearable spy camera recommendations. I have a photo project that I want to do and some sort of miniature wearable camera would be perfect. The issue I am running into is that the cameras in this category are all designed for video, whereas I am wanting one that takes high quality photos.
The things I am looking for in a camera are:
1. Wearable (preferably on the head so that framing the shot is easy - vs a lapel worn camera where I would have to turn my entire body).
2. discreet and unnoticeable (I want to capture raw moments with my loved ones without the known presence of a camera beforehand)
3. highest quality camera possible (5mp minimum)
4. A way to trigger the shutter via a cable or wirelessly.
5. I am willing to carry a portable DVR (as long as the camera meets the above requirements)
6. $2,000 or less for the setup
Does anyone have any recommendations? I have done a lot of research and so far I have been unable to come up with a reasonable solution. The KJB DVR505 and C1164 seemed promising, but the KJB rep I just talked to couldn't even tell me the camera image resolution and there is conflicting data listed on the internet. (their website doesn't list them either).
Another option is disassembling a mini cam and placing it in a ball cap or knit cap. However, I'd only do this if I could find a way to still have some sort of shutter remote.
Basically, I want a tiny camera with a shutter release cable (or wireless remote)
*Note: I already own a Fuji X100s for street photography and a Nokia Lumia 1020 for somewhat discreet shooting.
