Even the best present-day cameras sure have a long way to go!

I was having a play with this a few months back, basically click to select the focal point.

I also found another neat little project which could do with more work but I'm sure google maps would have been more economical mapping the world with a ball.

Yes, it isn't the first ball camera we've seen, nor is it the first camera to hawk 360-degree panoramas. But, the Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera marries these two concepts together, and packs them into a sturdy-looking sphere made mostly of foam. This shields the 36 fixed-focus phone camera modules, each capable of taking two megapixel snapshots.
