I love those cute and totally pointless photography-related gifts. But here’s one that may not be completely pointless- and it’s still really cute! Tokina Pieni II is an ultra-compact digital camera. And when I say ultra-compact, I really mean it: it’s about the size of a flash drive. Although it’s a toy camera, it takes photos and videos, so you can use it as décor, a necklace, and as an actual camera.

Limiting yourself can boost your creativity, but how many limitations can a photographer handle? Well, Jessica Kobeissi teamed up with Vuhlandes to try and answer this question. In this ridiculously fun challenge, the duo took photos on a $10 children’s camera. It doesn’t have AF or optical zoom, it doesn’t let you change lenses, it doesn’t have a touchscreen… So, let’s see if pro photographers can do anything with this children’s toy that happens to shoot photos.

You might remember the Yashica digiFilm Y35 fiasco which left the camera backers angry and disappointed. This camera raised nearly $1.3 million on Kickstarter, but it apparently never delivered what the users expected. Not even close.
