Play Russian Spy With This Novelty Camera
Yes, another novelty camera — they're everywhere! The affordable Undercover Camera ($35) is cleverly disguised as a Russian storybook, and even comes inside a black cardboard sleeve.
To use the camera, pop in some 110 film, slide up the spine, and snap away.
Do You Snap Pics at Concerts Despite No Camera Rules?
It's safe to say that if you have a cell phone, you've probably snapped a few photos at a concert to post on Facebook or to send as an accompaniment to a tweet. And although the typical "no photos/camera" rule seems pretty archaic in these days of super-powerful and slim digital point-and-shoot cameras, some bands and venues don't allow cameras of any kind during their shows, while others only allow small, digital versions.
For me, if I'm taking pictures or video of an artist at a concert, it's for my own memory and nostalgia.
Super Secret Spy Lens: Love It or Leave It?
Trying to get someone to "act natural" in front of a camera is like trying to perfect my costume for a Halloween party: I try, but am never 100 percent believable. With most folks, there's always a bit of apprehension that keeps you from getting that perfect photojournalistic (read: candid) shot, but this little gadget may help you out in that department.
The Super Secret Spy Lens ($50) has a discreet side cutout, fashioned with a precise inner mirror so it looks like you're aiming straight ahead, but are really capturing images on the sly.
Victory Is Ours: Polaroid Announces Relaunch of Camera, Film
I once asked you if you would jump on board if Polaroid were revived — an overwhelming amount of you said yes. Well hold on to your hats, photo geeks, cause it's on its way! At a press conference today in Hong Kong, Polaroid announced that they will be re-launching the One Step camera and allowing The Impossible Project (a group of former Polaroid employees who have been working to revive the medium and who also released the last of the instant film to Urban Outfitters earlier this year) to produce a limited amount of instant black and white and color film in 2010.
Gorillapod Mobile Turns Your Cell Into a Steady Cam
I've already told you the amazing benefits to owning a Gorillapod — the tripod that attaches to most anything with its bendable, flexible legs and small to large sizes for your point-and-shoot or SLRs — and now the Gorillapod Mobile turns your mobile device into a take-anywhere-shoot-anywhere camera.
You could say I'm turning into an iPhone paparazzi with how many photos I've taken with the on-board camera, so toting this tiny and portable tripod would make including myself into the snapshot even easier. Just like the original Gorillapod, the legs can contort around almost any object, turning a mundane stop sign into the ultimate steady hand for your pics.
Get Your Shutterbug Started Early With the Camera Bib
We geeks like to get 'em started young around here. Any of you guys with a baby should get your hands on the Camera Bib ($10) for tots — think, they can get their pureed peaches all over it, while still looking like the coolest kid in the playpen.
And of course, if baby's in this, you need the matching t-shirt.
Slim Devil Camera For the Wide-Angle Lens/Film Lover in You
Slim is the hot new product descriptor, it seems. The Slim Devil Camera ($30) from Fred Flare is a lightweight 35 mm film camera for your camera collection.
Even though it's called "slim devil," it's got a "super fat" (i.e.
Canon's New Point-and-Shoot Cameras Resemble DSLRs
I don't know what it is about a black, rugged, encasing, but I automatically think — DSLR! Canon has yet again dressed its PowerShot cameras to impress with new exteriors and advanced features like customizable shot settings.
The six new cameras from four different product lines are great for those who want something a little bit more advanced than their regular point and shoot, but aren't ready to make the leap to an expensive DSLR yet.
