Tokyo-based Kenko-Tokina, normally known for its camera accessories, has announced a cute Disney-themed digital camera [JP] for the Japanese market today. Spec-wise, this 8MP point-and-shoot camera isn’t anything special, but that’s what you’d expect from a camera whose case shows Mickey Mouse giving Minnie a bucket of hearts.

You’ll get a 1/2.5 CMOS sensor, 4x digital zoom, 16MB of internal memory, an SDHC/SD memory card slot (up to 8GB), a USB 2.0 port and a 2.36-inch TFT screen. The camera will let you shoot Motion JPEGs with 640×480 resolution and at 24fps. Sized at 91×24.6×56.5mm, the device weighs 86g.

Kenko-Tokina already started selling the camera in Japan where it costs $113. If you want to surprise your sister or girlfriend but live outside this country, I suggest contacting the usual suspects (the Japan Trend Shop, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya).
