With all of the fun photo gizmos and gadgets you’ve collected, you might find yourself toting around a *bit* more with you on your daily outings. Here are two new goodies that will help you carry your photo load. One is designed to get your photos and files from point A to B, while the other revolutionizes the way you wear your camera!

Guess what! Size does matter. We had it all wrong with “bigger is better,” though. We took a tip from our favorite camera-centric country Japan, where you’ll find the smallest yet greatest lil’ cameras. Our new mantra? “Go small or not at all!” Presenting, direct from Japan, The Mini Model Camera, a camera perfectly sized for plastic dinos, Lilliputians, and photo super-geeks! This tiny gem is a superbly detailed 1/6 scale model of your own life-sized DSLR, complete with three lenses that are interchangeable! (Their lens hoods are removable, too!) At last, your collection is complete. It’s that hard-to-find camera model that you and your friends don’t have! Mini Model Camera Set |

Movie rentals that suddenly appear in your mailbox and cheese pizzas that show up at your door with the click of a mouse…could there be anything more magical? Yup! It’s Fuji’s Instax 210 Wide Format Instant Camera, bringing instant photography back one big, beautiful print at a time. This insta-sharp-shooter promises all the best of its instant photo predecessors, and then some: You get the magic moment of watching a photo develop right before your eyes and the added bonus of gorgeous, colorful wide prints! (Not to mention easy-to-find film!) In 5 minutes, you’ll have prints ready to color your wall, decorate your desk, and pretty much make life happier in general.

Camera-phones. They’re a wonder unto themselves. We never fail to whip ours out for in-the-moment shots, and our Facebook mobile album is three times bigger than any other. So, when we found these nifty fisheye and combination wide-angle/macro camera phone lenses, we were psyched to see our phone photos umphed to the tenth degree! These two high-clarity glass lenses are like pro lenses for our camera-phone, delivering crisp and clear snaps every time. They’re compatible with any kind of camera-phone. Plus, they give us all the extreme-angle fun we’ve been dying to have but couldn’t afford in full-size. Concerts, family reunions, skateboarding adventures, strolls through botanical gardens, Beastie Boy photo-shoots. Yup, we’re set! Fisheye, Macro and Wide Angle Phone Lenses |

Dear friend, Your infatuation with color is bordering on obsession. Your light-paintings are filled with EVERY color of the rainbow, and your double-exposures are insane collages of color. We know your secret. We’ve seen the crinkly mess of color-gels at the bottom of your bag! Today is the day when everything changes. The Color Lens and Flash Filters are here, and they’re going to make everything better. Eight vibrant, pocket-sized color filters hang neatly on a handy ring, ready for you to use over your lens or flash. No more crazy double-rainbows. Just one, clean ROYGBIV for your pocket. Love, Color Lens and Flash Filters |

A cup of joe that’ll keep you sharp, in-focus, and happy all day long…and those side effects aren’t from the caffeine. Introducing: the Camera Lens Mug, a mug rendered to resemble a remarkably realistic 24-105mm Canon lens! Complete with lens-cap lid and rubber-grip zoom and focus rings, this marvelous mug also features an autofocus switch that actually switches between AF and MF. We know the warning signs too well. You’ll begin with a cup of Earl Grey, then move onto a banana yogurt smoothie, next, an ice cream fudge sundae, and pretty soon, you’ll be so hooked on your new mug, you’ll be eating dinner out it, too! Camera-geek meet Camera Lens Mug, your new favorite lemonade/jelly-bean/meatloaf/plant-holder. Camera Lens Mug p.s. Check out its opposite: a lens made from a mug! |

It’s July! And so far, we’ve had a little lot of fun this summer. This may explain our dwindling funds. Dwindled or not, funds are a non-factor when it comes to our two newest photo toys! They’ll stretch your summer fun through to the end of August, and beyond! (Dare we mention fall?) Affordable yet awesome, they’re our two favorite new finds.

We’d been saving up for our dream trip to Japan ever since we saw Lost in Translation. After hours of nodding in and out of second-run movies and throwing hot towels on our face, we made it! And guess what? Japan truly is the land of all things magical and rare, just like Sofia promised! We couldn’t possibly leave all that magic behind, so a week later we stuffed our pockets full of Animags, put on our most innocent look, and dashed through customs. What the hey are Animags? Only the most adorable magnetic photo-holders shaped like animals. Ever. Intricately-detailed zebra, grizzly bear, deer, and hammerhead shark each split in two with hidden magnets for sandwiching and holding your prints. Photo-farm > Farmville. Animag Photo Stands p.s. Our pals at Vimeo are putting together an *awesome video festival*. Enter yours, you might win a $25,000 grant! |

Extra photos for bloggers:
Buckles, zippers, and straps — covert architects of lost photo opportunities everywhere. We can’t count the number of times our trusty SLR was at our side but we missed the shot, thwarted by a case too slow to open. Then we found it. Our new fave camera bag, the Cloak, lets you shoot while your camera’s still in the bag! How it works: a zippered bottom can stay open while you walk because the bag’s strap doubles as the camera’s strap. And stealthy elastic side slits let you get your hands on the controls in a flash. It’s as if the camera’s right there in plain sight. But only you can see it. (learn more) Now when that perfect moment occurs, we just lift our camera bag to our face and snap! (Scroll on for more Father’s Day Gift ideas…) The Cloak Camera Bag, our new fave!

A classic alternative to the drab strap that came with your Daddy-o’s Rebel.
The Spy Lens is a 90° zoom lens adapter that lets dad go undetected for candid street photography, photo-reportage weddings, and kid photography.
The You-Vision Video Glasses make your dad’s nerd dream a reality.
For dads looking to take their photo sorcery to the next level (which should be all of ‘em)… this is the stuff.
Is dad a rapid-fire shooter? Fixing dozens (or even 100s) of photos with just slightly different colors, one-by-one, is a pain only too familiar.
Dad may not have go-go-gadget tripod arms, but the Collapsible Camera Extender is almost as good.
If re-shooting, cropping, and re-shooting again is the closest dad’s been to virtue and balance — perhaps we can help.
The Bottle Cap Tripod fits on top of pretty much any kind of bottle, turning it into an instant camera tripod! 1″ square, and it goes everywhere
Dad may sleep with his Nikon, but he can’t take it everywhere.
