Canon 1200/5.6L USM the BFG of Telephoto Lenses
The 1000mm Sigma we saw at PMA is nothing compared to this ultra rare Canon zoom. The retailer B&H photo has one of these, a 1200mm, F5.6 USM lens. They've been around since 1993, but are made to order at the rate of 2 per year, and there are less than 20 in existence. What the hell does 1200mm give you on a 35mm camera? A 2 percent field of vision. The cost? $99,000.00...USED. Shot of the zoom vs a standard 50mm lens, post jump. UPDATE: We've found bigger and badder 300X zoom and 5200mm lenses. [B&H, thanks to everyone who sent this in.]

iPhone's Telescopic Zoom Lens Comes With a Case
Now that manufacturers are creating add-on lenses for cellphone cameras—similar to the one we saw at CES—they need to step up their game to attract your attention. This iPhone telescopic lens from Brando does just that, adding a nifty protective case to go along with the lens. The good news is that it does seem to zoom in a crapload (see photo after jump), but unless that lens unscrews from the body, there's no way you can call the iPhone "pocketable". [Brando] More »

The Olympus SP-570 10-megapixel camera isn't a DSLR, but it's got fairly pro-level features, which means it's perfect for the Gizmodo reader who's just getting into photography. There's a 20x zoom (520mm focal length equivalent), a macro-mode (26mm focal length equivalent) that allows you to shoot at up to 0.39 inches away, and wide angle capabilities. In addition to that, there's dual image stabilization, 15fps sequential shooting and VGA movies at 30fps. Available in March for $500. [Electronista via Dpreview]

Following its appearance at a Samsung dealer event in the Netherlands, the ultra-slim G800 slider is getting a bit of attention &mdash mainly because of its 5 megapixel camera with 3 x zoom and Xenon flash. And then there's the small matter of the HSDPA and the micro SDHC card slot, making me think that the G800 will be Samsung's mobile TV phone. More pics and specs below.

Jet Kayak is Fast, Dangerous and Awesome
What happens when you stick an engine in a kayak? You get a really fast kayak, naturally. The dudes on Top Gear raced the jet kayak against a souped-up off-road vehicle in Iceland, on a lake full of giant ice cubes. The result is nothing short of pure, engine-fueled entertainment.

Kodak Easyshare Z712IS: Cute, in a Clowns' Shoes Kind of Way
No, don't ask me why this new Kodak makes me think of Krusty's footwear, but I think it has something to do with its oversimplified roundness. The 12x zoom has got quite a reach on it as well. A quick list of features include: Shutter lag of 0.26 secs; 7.1 Megapixels; High ISO; Image Stabilization. What it is missing: a buttonhole that squirts water at your friends, but what do you expect for $299? There's another pic after the jump.More »
