Once in a while, I stumble across something on the internet that really moves me, a vision of sorts that I can whole-heartedly believe to be something that looks to move digital photography forward. It's called the Bigshot, and that's what it turns kids of all ages into. Built on the four basic principles of build, learn, use and share, this camera hopes to give all people of all economic backgrounds the ability to capture moments in their lives.The camera literally arrives in pieces and is assembled using basic screw drivers and patience, complete with a 2 megapixel sensor and multiple lens options, it packs quite the punch. It even has a flash that is powered by a single AA, but wait, what powers the camera itself, you say? A dynamo motor, that's right, the camera (without flash) can be entirely powered by a few simple cranks of a small plastic winder on the side of the camera. It's an incredible idea. The pictures are stored on internal memory and can be transferred to a computer through a simple USB connection. The lens options that I mention include, not only a "normal lens" but also a panoramic lens with a 72° field of view and finally, and most impressively, the ability to take a Stereo-Prismatic (3D) image. Using those funky blue and red glasses we all know and love, you can view the image in 3D, I know, amazing...
