Take covert photos and get a tan too

These spy sunglasses may look more Maxwell Smart than James Bond, but the built-in 1.3-megapixel camera might be worth the fashion sacrifice for extended stakeouts.

ThinkGeek's spy-cam shades come with an RF remote control, so any aspiring secret agent can snap a few shots of his subject without ever having to take his hands out of his pockets. And while waiting, he can also listen to this favorite tracks through the built-in earbuds.

Back at HQ, the images can be downloaded through a USB 2.0 port and the lithium-ion battery recharged for another 9 hours of shooting. One potential drawback is that there's only 1GB of internal memory with no expansion card slots, so you might have to take more trips back to the computer--which could prove inconvenient on an extended shoot. But they do have UV400 polarized lenses, perfect for extended tanning.
