Amusing little device shown with the D70.

I don't think I'd find much use for such a device, but interesting all the same.

It'd be useful in some situations I guess, but if I wanted to have that ability I would've bought a p&s canon G2 or something similar. :)

Oh btw, went to the photo printing place at the Galleria your friend owns. Nice guy and a bucketload of machines there too + it's fuji stuff :) Not Agfa.

I own a Canon G3. Although it still takes pretty good photos (in that overprocessed Canon way), I can't get over the shutter and focus lag. I couldn't go back, even if it does give the option of different compositional options.

Yeah, sorry, maybe I wasn't being clear about the Galleria. It's the Fuji Frontier stuff he has. He used to shoot weddings as well - D100.

The people on that forum are real pricks (well some of them are anyways).

I think that this is really cool. When I've got my cam on a tripod really low to the ground, I would love to have something so that I didn't have to lay on my stomach and squint through my super duper small viewfinder. I would have to actually witness it in use though.

I think that this could be a very useful little device. Great for those odd angle limited space shots. If they were available I would certainly purchase one.

An interesting product. Nikon has already applied for patents on exactly the same kind of product for their DSLR’s :wink:

But where can we purchase one?
