On Monday, we told you about this pepper mill grinder designed like a camera lens, and wondered what lens-shaped product the designers would think of next. Well, we asked and they've answered.
Monoculo Design Studio is offering the DSLR Paparazzi Lamp, an extra large wooden lamp that looks like a 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor...
What lens-shaped product will they think of next? Recently, we told you about a small, USB powered humidifier shaped like a Canon lens and before that there was this portable speaker designed like a Nikon zoom.
Add to that faux lens arsenal this Camera Lens Pepper Mill Grinder, available via Amazon.com for $18.99....
It's a massive, one-of-a-kind camera but, until recently, it was thought to be too big to move. That may change if a project to create a more mobile version of the IMAGO1to1 life-size self-portrait camera gets the funding it's looking for.
The original IMAGO1to1 walk-in camera was built in Munich in 1970 by inventor...
Here's an exercise in (somewhat) pointless fun. The folks at Flite Test combined the hippest of hipster photo gear with the geekiest of geeky gadgets by strapping a Lomography camera onto a mini-copter drone and sending it into the heavens to shoot aerial photos.
Called the Lomo-Copter (aka the Lomogracopter), the...
Low-cost computer maker Raspberry Pi announced yesterday it will be releasing a bare-bones camera module that will sell for $25.
Like Raspberry Pi's $35 computer, which is essentially a souped-up circuit board the size of a credit card, the stripped down camera is designed for educational purposes and to let digital...
A plan to create a digital version of those classic Bolex movie cameras took another step forward this week when the couple behind the project released new images of the final camera body.
Our initial impression? The D16, as it's called, looks gorgeous.
"Finishing this body has been an epic task!," Joe Rubinstein,...
Feast your eyes on this Steampunk-like 1886 Victorian Lancaster Pocket Watch Camera, which could be one of the first camera watches ever made. (Incidentally, camera watches are a now rare gadget subgenre that seems to have gone out of fashion with Dick Tracy.)
The Victorian Lancaster Pocket Watch Camera, which is one...
We don't know about you but the radiator in our office keeps it crazy dry during the long winter months. Not only is it unpleasant -- cracked skin, anyone? -- the dry air can cause the nozzles in an inkjet photo printer to clog up.
Here's a fun solution with a photography theme: the USB Camera Lens Humidifier (also...
Called "the next generation in surveillance," the 1.8-gigapixel Argus is the world's highest definition camera and it just might be spying on you.
In the below clip from the PBS show NOVA, Yiannis Antoniades, director of BAE Systems and one of the creators of Argus, discusses the über-definition camera, saying it...
We've written about drone quadrocopters and octocopters for capturing amazing aerial footage before but those unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are really designed to be piloted from the ground by experts. Now here's a fully automated glider-like drone made for amateurs to easily shoot aerial images or video.
Called the...
There are two things photographers simply can't get enough of: great lenses and great coffee. Leica photographers now have a chance to get the best of both worlds with these new ceramic lens mugs designed like classic Leica lenses.
Ok, they actually look more like ceramic versions of those familiar Starbucks take-out...
We've seen some impressive drones for aerial photography before but this unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to shoot footage at extremely high altitudes may take the cake.
Called a Dedicam and developed by two inventors from Switzerland, the drone recently shot stunning footage in the thin air over the Trango...
Love it or hate it (we actually love it), this handmade camera cozy for the Canon EOS 7D DSLR is certainly eye-catching. Created by Shireen Nadir, and shared on her blog, The Blue Brick, the camera cozy is knitted from TFA Grape -- as in purple -- yarn.
Nadir says she knitted the cozy (or "cosy" for you Anglophiles...
Camera phones are great for capturing spontaneous images and video clips in good light when you haven't got a dedicated camera handy, but with their tiny sensors and often rather basic lenses, they can struggle in low light even for relatively static subjects. The situation isn't helped by the fact that they lack tripod mounts, forcing you to...
Leica Rumors has posted an oddly compelling video (below) of the recent WestLicht Camera Auction in Vienna, Austria, where three of the most expensive serial production cameras in the world were sold to the highest bidders.
The cameras, unsurprisingly, were Leicas, and fetched a combined total of €3.6 million, or...
Looking for a holiday gift for that special Leica photographer in your life, even if that photographer just so happens to be you? A new Leica-commissioned oral and photographic history book entitled "Ninety Nine Years Leica," has just gone on sale at select Leica stores, boutiques, and dealers in North America.
The...
If you're at a photography store or photo show in the coming months and see what looks like a outlaw from the Old West challenging you to duel, don't be alarmed: it's just a way to test how quick you are on the draw with your camera.
The virtual shootout game (shown in the video below) was created by Kata Bags as a...
Gura Gear added to its Bataflae line-up of camera backpacks yesterday with the new, portable Bataflae 18L ($349) pack for travel photographers. The 18L is the smallest in the Bataflae line but still has enough room to cary multiple, full-size professional digital SLR or medium format bodies, a 300mm lens and up to a...
Think Tank Photo, the popular urban photography bag company, is taking a step into the great outdoors. The company announced today it is launching a new brand called MindShift Gear, which will focus on outdoor/nature backpacks.
As part of the MindShift Gear launch, a new backpack called the rotation180° professional...
If you're doing some early holiday shopping and have a ton of money to blow, you might want to consider this rare photography item: a "mint" condition Hasseblad camera kit made for NASA is on sale on eBay for US$51,300.
The kit consists of the Hasseblad MKWE camera with a CF Biogon T* 38mm, F/4.5 lens and A24 film...
