Greg Dash is a university student with a passion for photography, but without much funding for his hobby. When Dash wanted to buy a new fish eye lens for his camera, but (like most university students) couldn’t afford it, he came up with the idea to make his own!
The result is a 1.5 inch long 12 megapixel digital camera that takes fish eye photos created using spare parts from old cameras. The mini camera has no viewfinder or display screen, but shoots HD video.
Dash stated that while developing rolls of film can be very expensive, there is a thrill to not seeing your photo right after you take it. That’s why he came up with the idea to make a digital camera without a display screen.
The ingenious camera caught the attention of hobby photographers worldwide and so Dash has started making them and selling them himself! The profits have already helped him pay off most of his student debts!
