Nyko Zoom Case

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wish the DSi camera could shoot closer photos?" Well, even if you didn't, Nyko's got you covered.

The third-party accessories manufacturer has made the Zoom Case, a form-fitting hard-shell case for your DSi which allows you to attach a lens for the outer DSi camera. And despite the name, it doesn't actually "zoom" — it's an 8x optical magnification lens, or simply, a magnifying glass for the camera. According to the press release, though, DSi owners will be able to "snap clearer photos with the external DSi camera from greater distances."

But remember: The DSi digital camera is 0.3 megapixels. So how much more crystal can these photos be? We took it for a test run and compared it to the other handheld camera on the iPhone (the 3G model with the 2.0-megapixel camera).

But what about the photo quality? Here are the photos, with and without the zoom lens on the DSi and ones we shot with the iPhone.
