Bonzart Ampel camera provides other scenes, too, not just tilt-shift

Professional photographers may find it weird that such a small and cheap device can capture good tilt-shift shots. Such lenses are usually very expensive and you have to take into consideration the price of the dedicated camera, whereas Ampel costs just $180.

Other scene modes are also available. The catalog contains  Black & White, Vivid, REF, and Sepia. The camera does not have WiFi, but the SD card can be easily inserted into a computer, allowing users to share their creative photos on social networks.

Bonzart is selling the camera in the United Kingdom and Japan, too, though prices may vary depending on retailers.
