Zoom lens for the DSI
Just when you thought you've seen it all, a company called Nyko create a lens for the DSI.

If you're bored of taking photographs with your DSLR the 8x optical zoom lens allows for closer, clearer shots from a greater distance and it easily attaches and locks onto the Zoom Case.  It's also safely stored in its own hard case for easy storage and travel. The lens powers straight from the DSI or batteries and the textured hard case will protect the console from damage.

The case and lens is priced at $24.99.

So, what do you think? Is a lens really a necessity for a games console?

I was asking myself the same question.


In plain English, what does it actually do..???

If gets people interested in photography is a good think and thus might get them to move some today to a point and shot from their they may become a professional which keeps our hobby / professional alive unless it's like the BBE programme about the farmers in Italy which i remember watching with my Grandparents in Anglesy.

Start them in the right direction, Buy a proper camera, Plenty of cheap options around, If you just want to try your hand, Without wasting money on another useless " Gimmick " ....Wink
