In order to make up for the latest Crocodile Skin iPod Station and to prove that there are smart companies using natural products, Olympus was the chosen one to make a wooden camera.

They will use a process called “three dimensional compression moulding” which gives the final product a good aspect overall and it also makes it better (read harder) than normal devices that use “ABS and polycarbonate resins” as materials.

There is an interesting video at YouTube with more information about this kind of Wooden Cameras, check it out:
