Instant photo frame: display your pictures like polaroids

Polaroid frame

The instant photo frame is an easy way to copy the look of the polaroid photograph. Made from acrylic plastic, it's a white frame that fits around your image. Each frame comes as laser cut flat packaging, marked to help you trim your photograph to fit the frame. A nice touch is that comments can be written across the bottom of the frame in a dry wipe marker 

It's not the most complex idea or sophisticated looking frame but for $10 does that matter?

Leica M9 retro-styled digital rangefinder camera

Leicam9

The classic M8 made it into our recent best 60s-style cameras feature at Modculture, so you just know we would be excited about the arrival of the Leica M9, the company's first full frame digital rangefinder camera.

The looks alone are a head-turner, but if you take our photography seriously, you'll like what you hear about the inner workings too. Those include an 18-megapixel, full-frame 24 x 36mm sensor, compatibility with Leica's M lenses, ISO from 80 to 2500 and shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 of a second (with barely a noise when in use). Build quality isn't bad either – a one-piece, full metal housing, solid brass top and bottom plates and room for a 2.5-inch monitor on the rear.

It's a dream, but here's the nightmare – it retails for  hefty £4,850 in either the contrast or all-black colourway.
