Sounds like a kind of "steampunk" Cinéma vérité idea. No need to
actually go through the photos, just automatically convert them into a
slide show.
I think it would have appealed to certain Victorian sensibilities had an
adequate technology existed at the time.

The ultimate "spray and pray" approach. I'm sure it's bound to get
some nice shots. Obviously not for me; taking the shots is my hobby.
I doubt it will supplant cell phone cameras, and most people are not
going to want to go through all those shots. Could be a cult thing, I
guess.

Don't know what I really think of this:

but I saw it shortly after viewing this neat instructional video
http://cinematography-howto.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-time-lapse-video-with-dslr-and-intervalometer-269678/
and it gave me an idea:
It would be interesting to wear the Pentax Q around one's neck and
just have it set to take images with its built-in intervalometer while
walking around the streets or something (hands-off). People would
pretty much ignore a camera that doesn't have the wearer's hands on
it. This idea would work for any camera with a built-in intervalometer
(like the K-5) but it think it probably becomes a little more
problematic (in multiple ways) to handle the larger the camera in this
way. The built-in intervalometer can take up to 999 images, so you'd
have to do the math to determine how often to have it take a photo for
the length of time you wanted it to "run" (also your card capacity and
whether you were shooting JPEG or RAW/+).
Another (related) idea would be to use this to create time-lapse video
from still shots. Imagine walking through a crowded rush hour city
sidewalk and into a cafe shooting this way at 1 image every 3 seconds.
That's 20 frames per minute and if you put that together (for example
in QuickTime Pro) at 20 fps you have a 1 minute of real life = 1
second of your time-lapse video. 1 hour of real life = 1 minute of
time-lapse video.
Think this is dumb or does it have merit?
