Open-Source Modular Camera Snaps Together Like Lego

I like this kind of idea.  It can be applied in more sophisticated products down the road.

From Makezine:

If you have access to a laser cutter, you can cut out and assemble modules to allow you to construct a variety of different types of cameras. By downloading the different modules you can explore all kinds of apertures, viewfinders, light benders, and film systems. The parts that aren’t laser cut are the lens and mirror. They recommend that you experiment a bit with lenses, trying things like using cheap magnifying glasses and harvesting parts from cheap zoom lenses. Here are a few examples from their site. You can see that the style can be varied quite a lot.
