Seems like this project has stalled out, hope Ben will post an update.

Ben is faced with the nontrivial task of productizing a concept to fit a low price point, with little hope of paying himself back for his time. I can understand why it would be done on a time-available basis, despite my own eagerness to get one.

Assuming reasonable price, I'm in either way. I have a hard time choosing between 65 and 90 and while I lean toward the 65 a little bit, I'm fine either way. Take your time, get it right, and when it's ready, email me at billp <at> billpratt <dot> net or PM me!

Hey guys,

This project is still in progress & has not "stalled out." Things are moving along quite nicely. We just want to have all design aspects completely worked out before we pour tens of thousands of dollars into mold making.

We have gone through 3 iterations of the body and feel very confident with our design. The first prototypes of our custom spring back and sport finder have been manufactured and tested. Slight adjustments have been made to the CAD files and will be prototyped again.

We have already received numerous quotes and selected our manufacturers based in the Midwest. We are very excited that we will be able to stick to our goal retail price of $99.00! This was no small task and is due to our careful design.

Both Ben and I look forward to getting this camera in your hands as soon as possible. We will most likely be doing a pre-order when the time comes. Stay tuned, things are moving forward!

Best,
Justin

Justin, sorry for my comment and thanks for the update. Great to hear thing are moving along. I also understand that the design has to worked out before investing in the molds. As far as the $99 price that would be fantastic, but I'm more than happy to spend more.
