Digital Cowboy intros webcam with telephoto lens

While it’s decidedly lacking compared to some telephoto lenses we’ve seen, Digital Cowboy’s new 7x number here should still be more than enough to make most other short-sighted webcams feel woefully inadequate about themselves. Detach that lens, however, and you’re left with a fairly run-of-the-mill webcam, with a 1.3 megapixel resolution, face-tracking functionality, and video recording at up to 30 fps — if you don’t mind dropping things down to 640 x 480, that is (you’ll just get 15 fps at the cam’s full resolution). Those looking to put the webcam to some remotely-controlled use will also be out of luck, with the lens strictly a manually operated deal. Look for this one to hit Japan next month for 9.800 Yen, or just over $80.
