Camera-inspired items

Sure, we've seen our share of weird accessories that may come across as odd or absurd, but what about the cleverly-designed items inspired by cameras? Polaroid Introduces New Z2300 Instant Digital Camera.Some shutterbugs would go to great lengths to acquire camera-inspired items to remind them of their beloved snappers. They may come in the form of cufflinks to match an outfit or a pencil sharpener resembling a vintage twin-lens reflex camera.

We've scoured the Web and rounded up some of the more interesting peripherals that may interest you, take a look. DealExtreme's handheld fan looks like a miniature version of Canon's 70-200mm ED telephoto lens. Powered by two AAA batteries, this gadget comes with two fan blades that help you keep cool during your intense photo sessions. The device is made entirely of plastic and claims to feature low power consumption for extended use. Available in black and gray, the Unique SLR Zoom Lens Shaped Handheld Cooling Fan can be yours for a mere US$5.60 inclusive of free worldwide shipping.

There are times where lens mugs just don't cut it for a cocktail party. Enter Photojojo's Shot Glass Lens Set which is a set of three shot glasses that are miniature replicas of Canons' EF 24-105mm L lens. The glasses feature intricate details such as ridges on the focusing ring and an On/Off switch to make them look more realistic. They can also be used for other applications besides containing alcohol, such as to hold toothpicks and paperclips. If you need something to hold your drink, a set of three glasses goes for US$18 on Photojojo.
