Zoom-X Instant Zoom
This camera doodad is only available to residents of the UK, unless some enterprising individual were to list them on ebay (so far, I can’t find it there). In theory, it increases the zoom on any camera by a factor of 12. The mini tripod mounting is included and it automatically adjusts to function with the onboard camera zoom. While I’m certain this zoom won’t take pictures on par with pro lenses for SLR cameras, it just may be good enough for the hobbyist looking to shoot photos of animals across the yard, or to capture images better grabbed from a safe distance. If any of you happen to live in the UK and have tried out this add-on, I’d love to post some sample images.
