There is something that just makes me laugh, watching technology be shoved inside a wooden frame. I have seen people put their computers in wood, and putting wood on or in cars used to be very popular as well, a trend that seems to be coming back lately, but a digital camera in wood? Well, that?s interesting to see.

I am used to the metal finish of my digital camera, but there is something more warm, more earthy about the Olympus Woodcam.

The wood that Olympus used is Japanese cypress, other than that no details are known about the camera. Other than the occasional splinter, I?d love to have one of these as more of a conversational piece than a daily used digital camera, no matter the specifications. Check out the full Olympus line at Digital Camera HQ, and no, they don?t list the woodcam yet.
