For those who have everything: Sony Party-shot
The Sony Party-shot, which rotates 360 degrees and tilts up to 24 degrees, can do all of the picture taking at parties and other events.
Hosting a party is stressful enough. You shouldn’t have to worry about playing party photographer as well, documenting the event as the night plays out. That’s what the Sony Party-shot is for. “Your new event photographer,” this camera dock “pivots 360 degrees” and tilts up to 24 degrees, scanning the area for faces and automatically snapping photos. It holds any Sony DSC-WXI or DSC-TXI camera, runs on two AA batteries for up to 11 hours, and can be used outdoors. Be sure to warn guests about your new electronic paparazzo—and resist the temptation to blackmail.
Price: $150 (camera not included)
