I'd be curious to see how well the camera works.
The resolution is pretty low. The flashlight needs to be extremely bright to be able to capture a sharp picture. Or the camera electronics have to be able to do 1600iso or 3200iso AND have a big lens to be able to collect all the light back for a decent picture.
With my HDS EDS U60 at 60lumens shined on my white wall 6ft away, my DSLR camera takes a pictures at 1/200s shutter speed, 1600iso and apperture of 5.6. 1600iso is passable on my camera and could still look like a decent picture from a cheaper camera. However, the quality is noticably worse than at 100iso. Also, every feet I move away from the wall, the shutter speed goes down. I don't think it would take an acceptable photo from 15ft. Maybe if I have a much brighter flashlight...
I assume the camera on that flashlight is tiny compared to my camera. A smaller lens on a camera means that the iso would need to be higher and the shutter speed much slower. To compensate, there would needs to be A LOT of light on the target.
In conclusion, I think this is just a gimmick.. or the camera won't work well. Also, the gyro in the camera doesn't help that much. It doesn't stop the target from moving. It only helps to minimize the motion from the camera. Consider that it's in a flashlight form, it will move/shake more than a camera so it won't be able to do much. This is UNLESS there is some AMAZING camera technology out that nobody have mentioned.
If you have a small camera, try to take a picture of a object with your flashlight as primary lighting from a distance. That's probably how well the flashlightcamera will work. You can even leave the camera on a stable surface to remove any blurring cause by the camera movement. Also, if you notice the shutter speed is slow, then imagine how blurry the picture will be if the target (or camera) moves..
