Buy an iPhone, get, er… MAKE, a free camera
Looking for a camera to compliment that set of iPod Recycling Speakers you built? Scot Hampton has just the thing. Behold the iHole, a pinhole camera created out of his roommate’s iPhone box.
Using nothing more than the iPhone’s packaging, some tape, tinfoil (for the lens), a piece of foam, and a leftover screw and tightener from an old Ikea desk, Scot has created a low tech camera from the world’s most high tech device. While the iPhone’s camera has never been its strongest feature, we’re looking at this as a lateral move in quality, at best.
Ironically, Scot’s camera has the same zoom and flash as the iPhone’s (none), but we bet he can’t do the super cool “pinchy-resize” thing on his!
Above: Two shots taken with the iHole, exposures slightly overlapping.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jason for the tip!

It looks like its higher detail than my iPhone’s.
