Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy in January, is now locked in a digital imaging patent dispute with Apple. I’ll bet this 10,000 pixel camera is the source of a few of those patents. shihlun: Steve Sasson and his 1975 Kodak Digital Camera .

This is what happens when a digital camera makes love to your cellphone. As digital cameras have outgrown their bulky origins and continued to miniaturize, some photographers and cinematographers joke that soon the “camera” itself will disappear, leaving just a lens with a chip and a screen on the back of it. That’s basically what the designer/photography nuts at Artefact have created with their WVIL concept camera, which looks like a DSLR lens with an iPhone stuck to it. But Artefact considers even that radical design as a starting point, not a destination — after all, if your camera is just a lens with a chip in the back, why not make the viewfinder detachable from the lens and really get crazy? The video demo is siiiiiiick! You’re going to want to click through for this one.
