Given away last week as a press freebie at the 2012 Fuorisalone design expo in Milan, this cardboard camera – soon to be sold in IKEA stores – has a USB connector and can hold up to 40 photos on internal memory.
And, inevitably, two weird-looking extra ones you weren’t expecting.
Flickr user Jason Hull converts cameras from the 1950s and 1960s (of the mass-produced plastic variety) into these nifty nightlights. He doesn’t appear to be selling them at present, however, which is a bit of a tease.

Spotted by photographer Tim Allen outside the disused Aldwych tube station, which recently reopened for tours.
While photography bans are pretty common, the station has decided to only ban DSLRs due to “their combination of high quality sensor and high resolution”. Other cameras are allowed in, as long as they don’t look “big” enough to shoot amazing photos.

The camera on the iPhone has come a long way since 2007. Remember squinting through the eyehole in the back of Action Man or Steve Austin’s head? Sometimes the plastic lens would have condensation or scratches on it. Remember that dim, blurry slightly distorted view?
That’s the original iPhone camera.

Part of an art project called Between Blinks and Buttons by the magically named Sascha Pohflepp, the Blind Camera has no optics and takes no photos. Instead, the fake shutter button triggers a mobile phone hidden inside to retrieve and display a photo from Flickr that was taken at that exact same moment. Sez the artist:
Taking a photo means making a memory. Choosing a moment in time and framing a situation. Archiving it or making it public. Either way, we create a visual item that we have an emotional attachment to through our memory. Photos help us to remember moments in our past. Often they even become a memory in their own right. For many, making their moments public through services like Flickr is already part the process of photography itself, creating archives which contain a vast collection of visual fragments of individual lives.
Fair enough.
