Eazzzy! photo camera

Designer Sungwoo Park's prototype Eazzzy! photo camera consists of a USB stick with a lens and one button, and offers "the feeling of not knowing how your shots turned out à la analog film" with the convenience of USB transfer; not to mention a groovily ironic, retro-styled shape in several bright colours. And you can undoubtedly expect the images to turn out fashionably lo-fi, as you'd get that with anything of that size.
Though I wonder if it'd be just standard cameraphone lo-fi or whether they'd put an artfully crappy lens on the thing (as with cult film cameras such as the Lomo and Diana). They could, of course, program the firmware to oversaturate the colours, or overexpose the centre of the image and vignette the edges, though that would run against the cult of authenticity from which the lo-fi fad stems, thus being the photographic equivalent of alternative rock recorded for major labels in expensive studios, with special ProTools plug-ins thrown in to make it sound grungier.)

Paul Smith introduces the limited edition Fisheye camera

Paul Smith collaborated with Lomography cameras to make this special item, which has amazing fish-eye barrel distortion.Paul Smith's limited edition Fisheye photo camera is a show stealer, but for all its good looks are worth, it is also pretty difficult to use. Included is a bulb setting for long exposures and a switch for multiple exposures on the same frame.You also have the ability to use hotshoe flash or the built in flash. It adopts the old school way of capturing images with a 180-degree wide-angle lens onto 35mm film. Everything is going to appear rather round. If you want to see what you are capturing before you shoot, just use the fisheye feature. This is a pretty neat option. The looks are definitely for those who love style. Check out the Paul Smith stripes and designer cover lens. The price is a little steep at $150, but by now we know that all pretty things come with a large price tag.
Unfortunately, the Fisheye photo camera doesn't include a matching designer case. That shouldn't stop you from buying the photo camera and feeling like you are looking at the world through the eyes of a fish.
