While a functional camera it is not, this impressively detailed DSLR camera was made entirely using LEGO bricks. Everything down to the LEGO tank tread strap was crafted using LEGO products.

At first glance, I would have sworn this was some engine for a small motorcycle, but then I thought to myself, “Wait, engines don’t have lenses.” No, what I saw wasn’t an engine at all. This was some sort of camera. And a Canon DSLR at that. As it turns out, this is Swedish Chameleon’s way of compressing a whole ...

Since cameras became a portable medium, the form factor, aside from size differences, have remained relatively unchanged. With the new compact hardware and constantly increasing quality, is it time we started to rethink the form factor of the DSLR camera? Yaniv Berg takes a fresh look at the way we interact with our cameras with his periscope-styled handheld designed for ...

Monsoon season is just around the corner. And you know what that means. Massive rainfall in a short amount of time. For a photographer, just the mention of rain can cause your anxiety level to rise. That’s why something like the ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover can come in such handy if you’re in a heavily moist climate. Zipping right around ...

The Phone-O-Scope, by iPhone mod extraordinaire Bhautik Joshi, is an optical coupler which allows you to attach an SLR lens to your iPhone.

They’re cumbersome; a real pain in the ass to carry. Luckily, there’s a product for ten bucks that isn’t a concept and ...

The Dude doesn’t like the fucking Eagles, man, but he sure does love to bowl. “Capture” the feel of The Big Lebowski with this DSLR bag from Acme Made. At $40, it’s one of the most inexpensive camera bags available and it clearly would put you on The Jesus’ good side. Though there’s not a lot of room for lenses ...

So I grabbed the DSLR and a FedEx box and went crazy. Here’s a bunch of pics of the new Sidekick, as well as the new Sidekick being compared to a Sidekick LX for scale. Enjoy!

Since purchasing a DSLR last year, my major problem hasn’t been related to having a good time, but rather endlessly worrying if my camera will be lost, stolen or broken.
