What's New
Price hike for Xtreme Pix
Latest price through GoPhoto direct is $49.95, and on Amazon, it's listed as $89.95.
Previously they were listed as $19.95 through Amazon and $17.95 direct through GoPhoto. That was as of my last major update (August 2010).
Wow! I wonder if they are short on inventory, or maybe it is going out of production again. In any case, it may be a good time to buy one (or another one if you're a collector).
I'll be taking a cross-country road trip soon, and I may bring my PB (or XtremePix) on the road just for fun. Of course, I will be taking my Canon PowerShot digital camera as well as my newly acquired iPhone 4S, which takes remarkably good photos for a phone!
Why does this page exist?
I found out about the PhotoBlaster around May 1999. My friend brought one on a vacation trip I took with a bunch of friends, and it intrigued me immediately. I only got around to looking for one this month (June 2000), only to have a hard time finding any information about them. So I built this page as a resource and shrine for PhotoBlaster fans and enthusiasts, as well as fans of other "toy" cameras.
What is the PhotoBlaster?
