The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Colorsplash Cameras - Color for a Monochrome World
By James Grahame
Colorsplash. The word sounds like something Kodak or Polaroid should have trademarked in the 1970s. What's colorsplashing? Well, imagine a camera that lets you dial-in colored filters to cover the flash. Then imagine that this camera has two shutter modes. In Instant Exposure mode you press the button and the picture gets taken (with flash, of course). The result is a color-shifted image -- like a defective Polaroid.
Things get more interesting when you choose the Long Exposure setting. Now, the shutter stays open long as you hold the button and the flash goes off when you release -- moments before the shutter closes. Et voila... Brilliant arty pictures that make you look like you know what you're doing.
Oh, and check out the $85 Colorsplash Ice Bear Edition -- the perfect hybrid of retro technology and pointless marketing.
