HTC's rumored portable camera has been made official at their Double Exposure event today, and it's a weird little device. The camera looks like a long tube that bends into a camera lens, and there is no viewfinder or anything aside from the handle and camera.
The RE camera features a 16 megapixel lens that can shoot full HD video, and to get around not having any type of viewfinder or screen, it shoots extremely wide angle videos to make sure that it captures everything you're pointing it at. You won't miss anything in the video this way, but it also means you won't be able to keep the subject perfectly centered, either. However, the device can be used in conjunction with an Android or iOS device so you can get a better view of what you're shooting. It doesn't sound convenient, but it's certainly functional.
To compete with the likes of GoPro cameras, HTC has also made the RE waterproof, just like the Desire Eye. It's a perfect device for taking underwater selfies, if you're into that.
No word on pricing or availability just yet, but HTC will likely announce something soon.
