Last week we wrote about Holga's quirky new iPhone lens, which allows users to add different filters to their photos, like red filter, empty hole and triple image lens.
Now it seems Photojojo has got in on the action, as it's launched a more advanced iPhone lens dial with fish-eye, telephoto and wide-angle effects. Just like Helga's offering, the lens dial doubles up as a pretty sturdy case, but it does add a lot of weight and bulk to your mobile.
Available from Photojojo for $249.99.

Although we're not ruling out an interest in mountain climbing and extreme trekking later in life, there's a good chance we won't be reaching the summit of Mount Everest anytime soon.
However, now a German video company has done all of the hard work for us, stationing an extremely tough, solar-powered camera more than 18,000 feet high which views the summit. Geek.com points out that this isn't the highest point but it does win the record for highest web cam!

We've come across pretty compact cameras before, but look at this INSANELY small device from Hammacher Schlemmer which I think it's safe to say is the world's smallest digital camera!
Despite its size the teeny tiny camera can actually take 2MP images at 1600 X 1200 resolution, as well as record AVI video at 30 frames per second. You can send everything over to your computer via USB, which is also how you charge up its battery.
Now although it's very cute, we're not really sure what you'd use the camera for and the novelty of fiddling around with such a tiny device would probably wear off very quickly.
Available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $100.

Over the past few years we've seen many brands merging our online and offline lives, whether that's something small and simple, like an advert with an integrated QR code, or something much more complex, like the real world Facebook 'Likes' at the Coca-Cola Village Amusement Park in Israel.

Ever since Instagram and Hipstamatic became so popular, it seems impossible for anyone to take a regular photo that looks like it's from 2011. We need our images to seem at least a few decades old, with plenty of distressing, a little blurring, a fancy border and possibly some vignetting thrown in for good measure.
After applying a filter to every one of my photos for the past few months, I've decided it's time to branch out a little and experiment with apps that aren't just about grungy effects and dream-like blurring.

The Twig Pod is a super-compact and collapsible lightweight mono-pod, which sounds like a pretty fancy description for an accessory based on the shape of a twig.
Not only is it very simple, but it folds away into a tiny little pouch and only weighs half a pound, which makes it ideal for travel.
The base of The Twig Pod means it'll stand up easily, especially in turf or sand and it's equipped with a handy ball-head mount which gives the photographer a lot of freedom when it comes to shooting from any angle.
The Twig Pod is available for $28 from Photojojo.

The Pose from Quirky has been designed for small and compact digital cameras that sometimes need a bit of extra help to make them even more useful.
Not only is the Pose a protective case, but it also acts as a mini tripod as well, simply bend it into the right shape and then pop your camera on top of it.
At the moment the Pose is available for $23.99 from Quirky as a presale item, but we're pretty certain that as it's such a practical idea it'll be a regular on the site in the very near future.

A new camera called the Lytro aims to change the way we capture photos and interact with them long after they've been taken. It works by recording light fields, which can then be manipulated to alter the focus of a photo at a later date.

If you have an SLR camera it can be hard to find a case or wrap for it that isn't dull and boring black, or maybe grey too if you're lucky. However, a German designer who goes by the name of Chocmuf on craft site Dawanda has a whole online store called Pixbag dedicated to colorful and quirky camera wraps.
They're all padded, so although they're not guaranteed to prevent damage they'll certainly add an extra layer of protection as well as looking good. Chocmuf makes the wraps in a range of different materials, from red and white polka dot cotton through to leather and some also have straps and extra storage space for lenses and batteries.
Available from Chocmuf's Pixbag for around ¢49 - ¢55 (approx $70 - $79).

As more photo applications enter the mobile app market and the camera capabilities of the iPhone improves, it's no wonder people are leaving their cameras behind in favour of their smart phones.
Black Design Associates has created a new concept that combines iPhone 4 photography with a Leica fixed lens rangefinder camera, which could be used as just a case but also enables optical zoom, shutter dials and flash.
Obviously it's still a just a concept but does look great, particularly if you're a bit of a photography fanatic.
