Lomography Spinner 360°
Its products like this that make us wish that Lomography was making digital cameras. The Spinner 360 ($145) works by pulling the cord just like you would Howdy Doody and in an instant the camera spins and takes a stunning 360 degree image. I bet your new SLR can't do that. Link / Source
