Gizmodo<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Calling it a “dream project,” Black DA proposes to combine the Leica cameras’s good looks and smart lens with the ease of the iPhone 4, creating a case that the iPhone can slip into easily with a latch door that resembles an old 35mm film camera’s back.<\/p>\n

If the Leica i9 camera case went into production, they’re figuring on a $900 – $1,200 cost, though that’s with a shelf life of around 5 – 10 years, and not a six months-novelty fest like so many of the iAccessories gift users. Provided Apple doesn’t change the design of future iPhone models too much, naturally.<\/p>\n

I do like that Black DA isn’t just wanting to attach a bigger lens to the iPhone 4’s, and calling it a day. Their concept actually shows an independent camera body that doesn’t actually rely on the iPhone 4’s processor, instead using the 30-pin connector to transfer images to the iPhone for easy uploading to the cloud. That means a true optical zoom could be used, along with dedicated aperture and shutter dials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is stupid.<\/p>\n
