The brainchild of designer Lindsey Pickett, the 1881 is a pocket-sized digital camera that pays homage to heritage and heirloom objects with a vintage chic form. It happens to take the shape of a circular locket and has been described as a "high tech device hidden in a low tech disguise."
"Inspired by the emotional connection and careful framing of locket photos, 1881 strives to create a more precious medium through which to share your memories, whether at home or on the street," says the designer.
You can look at your favorite photos every time you open the locket and can capture photos by simply aiming and tapping the camera. To capture a more precise photo composition, you open 1881 and use the LCD viewfinder.

If it didn't have such an obvious logo, i'd totally get one.
1I think it is good in theory but it needs to be a little smaller. I wonder how heavy it is?
2I think this is a really neat idea, def. something new. I bought an Olympus last month and am totally in heart with it, even if I can't wear it
3ugly necklace...and I am sure the camera has the worst resolution. You camera phone probably takes better pictures and you can show your pictures off just as easily!!
4a "high tech device hidden in a low tech disguise."
HIDDEN? Really? Maybe it'd be hidden hanging around Flava Flav's neck, but for anyone else that sticks out like a sore thumb.
I am very impressed with this bit though:
"[you] can capture photos by simply aiming and tapping the camera."
I look forward to when they can embed a camera in a frame of glasses (without making them too bulky), and just tapping the side of your specs will take a picture. THAT would be handy.
5I dig it. I think it's really cute (aside from the huge logo). I would never wear it as a necklace but I think it'd be a good 'in the moment camera' just to have in my bag all day long.
6I think this is very cool. I just dont think i'd ever wear it around my neck!
7I think its a really sweet idea, and I love the design....but I'm not sure about the size. I'd still be interested in checking one out.
8God that's gorgeous. So chic! I'm okay with the logo - shows people it's a camera - a super pretty one.
9I like the idea, however I would not buy this model.
10So gorgeous! I love my pink camera now, but I would love to have something like this, that has a little more design and doesn't look like a typical silver camera.
11I really like it and would totally wear it. I do not, however like the KODAK scrawled across it.
12The camera reminds me of the fanny pack - something very ugly that'll be popular because it's convenient.
13uhh....interesting idea...but it looks ugly
14L!VE !N LOVE
