Summer is around the corner, and while we love any excuse to take pictures, the hot weather is prime photography season. Whether you take snapshots at barbecues or outdoor concerts or Coney Island or out in nature, bright, sunny days are always conducive to a good photo. So, come May, we tend to find ourselves ogling new cameras and fantasizing about throwing down for one. If you’re also yearning for a new art toy, take a gander at the new models we’ve rounded up, from pretty Polaroids and wacky Lomography cams to homemade pinhole models and DIY designs you can assemble yourself.
