I’m sorry the LomoKino camera only lets you capture retro 35 mm movies while forgetting to offer you an easy way to share those creations, and I believe the Lomography Company feels sorry too – thus it launched a smartphone adapter that lets you digitize your flicks. Simply attach the adapter onto your smartphone, connect it to the LomoKino (with films inside), get the LomoKino to work and record the videos as they’re played, and then you can restore your retro movies on your cellphone.

With CES 2012 finally opened today, many innovative gadgets will soon spread on the internet within the following days, so have you already been ready for the CES? Let’s start with Tamaggo’s 360-imager then. It is claimed the first consumer device that can take full 360-degree panoramic images using a special “panomorph” lens, and built with an LCD viewfinder on the bottom too. The egg-shaped device can provide images with better quality, and it will shoot fully navigable images with a single click. Pity that the device cannot shoot 360-degree panoramic videos currently, and there’s still no information about its pricing or release date. That’s a pity too.

Nowadays, even though the 8mm film is no longer a trend, we can still try it with these tiny Fuuvi Bee 8mm Cameras. They’re mini-sized, with a weight of merely 39 g, but are built with a CMOS lens that can capture retro videos of 640×480 resolution or images of 1280×960 resolution.

Hyperspectral sensors are usually quite expensive, which keeps many people away from utilizing the hyperspectral image technology. That’s so pity! Hence some scientists have decided to turn a DSLR into a hyperspectral camera using stock SLR glass, a gel diffraction filter, PVC pipe, duct tape and other materials. Certainly they succeeded, as the cheap imaging spectrometer can deliver spectral resolution equal to that of commercial solutions but at a far lower cost. The experiment and process may sound easy, but to construct such a camera you may need to master quite large amount of knowledge.
