Gizmon

This is the Gizmon Leica-inspired "rangefinder" camera, a real conversation starter. In the present configuration, a 5-megapixel small-sensor camera, which can email photos to yourself or various services with additional software.

It's a toy, of course, an iPhone case. But it's a bit of fun, and the shutter button actually works.

One has to be careful for the fingers not to cover the working lens. But it's a better grip than the naked phone.
Product page here. I've blogged it before here.

Coolio! Are ya gonna wear the neck strap, then? I would think that that's a pretty handy/dandy way of carrying the phone/camera, when out and about! :-D (whyzit so grainy?! You've got enough light in that bathroom, don't cha?)

Hallway. No, not quite enough for a phone camera.
I like their neckstrap, and I enquired, but it seems it's not amongst their stock.

Oh..."the hallway!" lol! No wonder! Did you lighten the pic, then, since it seems a lot lighter there, than other pics I can remember seeing from there (like when you took a pic of the door)?

I like their neckstrap,

Me too!

...and I enquired, but it seems it's not amongst their stock.

What a rip! I'd send them the shot with it showing...from their very own website!! False advertising! (Too bad you couldn't tell them that you thought it was INCLUDED IN THE PRICE!! Most cameras come w/some sort of neck strap! Geeez!!! That's ultra LAME!)

So tell me,

this is a fake camera, and you put your iphone in it?

Jeee... :)

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Yes, more or less. Or it's an iPhone case which looks like a camera.
Apart from being very slim, it looks quite convincing, and I'd certainly be curious if I had seen somebody else using one.

There's an alternative even slimmer lens one can put on, so the whole thing is only a few milimeters thicker than the iphone. But even with this lens it'll go in most pockets.

But why? This plastic object must be one of the last things the planet needs littering up its surface.

I wish I could defend my liking of this, I really do!

Ok, if after a year you are still using it daily, I'll take my words back.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Hah! Tough standard.

Timo Lehtinen said...

Try this one for a change.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Yes, that's a fun idea.
