Where can I get...
 

... one of those very, very small cameras that are used for covert photography?

I'm interested in being able to take still photographs at reasonably close range (up to about 2 feet).

I know that I could probably just use a small digital camera in my shirt pocket, but I need it to be

-remotely operated (so I take the photo via a release cord, concealed in the palm of my hand)
-silent.

PPRuNers are likely to find out the reason I need this... but not yet.

The standard spy camera (looks like a tiny 110 camera) is the Minox 8x11 and is still in production in various forms, from about £200. Disc cameras were noted for their ease of concealment due to their thin design, but they haven't been made for 10 years and the film is no longer in production. Best bet for availability is an APS camera- relatively small, easily available and cheap

PS - there is a small (110 size) polaroid camera (the i-Zone)
