Weirdest Cameras Ever Made?


Recommended Posts

There's lots of them. I went into a camera/lens repair shop the other day and saw a stereoscopic camera.

 

Reminded me of this weirdo, a quadrascopic film camera:

The Fujica G617 certainly is a curiosity - a panoramic camera for medium format film. They also made another version - the GX617, which has interchangeable lenses.

I have one and it is an interesting challenge to shoot with, it definitely requires a conscious effort to get into the panoramic mindset when we are normally shooting with 2:3 or narrower aspect ratios. It's also pretty huge and cumbersome to carry around!

It's just a cheap enough Raspberry Pi standard camera, but connected to the cheap NVidia Jetson Nano board (running Linux with powerful graphics card accelerator) it can quickly recognize objects seen by the camera and give their names:
