That's a stroke of genious - Cloud of Weasels would be an excellent name for a camera. They could do entire classes of camera based on combinations of meteorological phenomena and classes of animals, depending on the market segments the cameras are pitched at and the various technical features they, er, feature. For examples, mammals other than humans would be pitched at various parts of the advanced amateur market, while precipitation events denote the level of automation. So the Hailstorm of Dingoes would clearly be a point & press that shoots RAW, while a Flood of Cormorants is obviously a plastic automaton fit only for rapid disposal. The Human class is obviously the topmost second of the market, and if we ever see the rumoured Sunbeam of Neanderthals, Cotty will eat his hat. I'll back you all the way on this one.
