Some digi-cameras simulate the tilt-shift effect. This one has a dedicated tilt-shift lens built in, rendering real life images (and videos) as miniature dioramas. Even with a modest 5 megapixel resolution the results (above) are pretty impressive.
We love the tilt-shift, we do.
The camera costs $149 from Photojojo.

Youtuber Jeremiah Warren straps wide angle cameras to fireworks and sends ’em up. Is all.
The Hasselblad H4D-200MS, professional grade digital SLR. 200 megapixels. €32,000.
The H4D-200MS is not actually packing a single 200-megapixel sensor. Instead, the camera uses Hasselblad’s multi-shot technology to combine six consecutive shots taken on the camera’s 50-megapixel sensor into one higher-resolution final file.
Your camera is now poo. And that really swanky camera you were saving up for? Also poo.
Hefting and peering through a high-end camera lens, you get a sense of the craft, the precision engineering, and the thoughtful design that went into it. But look at it in cross-section, as with this photo a neatly bisected Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm lens and the hellish, gorgeous complexity is revealed in a visceral way: “These were actually made by Leica students as a graduation project and boxed as a ‘cutaway model’ of the lens.”

The Camera Futura concept from Artefact Group Design isn’t in production yet, but it probably will be soon.
Spies, paparazzi, wildlife photographers and perverts take note:
With the lens attached to the body, the device behaves like a contemporary digital camera; with manual controls for focus and zoom on the lens, as well as aperture and shutter speed dials on the body. However, once the lens is detached, Camera Futura is an entirely different beast and reveals its true potential, by using the hardware architecture that we have christened “WVIL”, meaning “Wireless Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens”.
The camera body now acts as a wireless viewfinder for the lens that could be handheld or mounted on a tripod. Furthermore, lens controls such as zoom and focus are now facilitated through the use of the touch screen.

Ever wonder what all those setting adjustment modes on a digital camera do?
They adjust the settings. But this would be good too.
