Point-and-shoots and SLRs weren't the only products on view at the recent PhotoPlus Expo show in New York. Here are some cool camera accessories you may want to take a look at, some of which may make a great gift during this holiday season.

• Frames. Sony announced two new photo frames—the 10-inch DPF-D100 ($280), seen at the top right, and the 8-inch DPF-D80 ($180). (Click on both images for a closer look.) Both have 800x600 pixel screen resolution. Their aspect ratio is also 4:3, which is closer to the aspect ratio used on most digital cameras. Sony's other frames use a more rectangular 16:9 aspect ratio, which is what most HDTVs use. Unlike two other Sony frames, the new pair don't include HDMI outputs that let you hook up to an HDTV. The two new frames also accept most types of memory cards and support select RAW files.
• Lensbaby. Some of my favorite accessories at the show were at the Lensbaby booth. These lenses, known as selective focus lenses, let you purposely blur most of what you see in your compositions. It's a technique often used in Martha Stewart Living magazine, where you might see just one item in a still life in sharp focus, and then the rest of the composition has this wonderfully blurred quality. Recently, Lensbaby announced a new type of selective focus lens, called the Composer ($270), which has a ball-and-socket design that I think is an improvement over previous lenses, such as the Muse ($100 for plastic lens and $150 for glass lens) and the Control Freak ($270). Plus, all Lensbaby lenses have a new optic-swap system. For more, go to www.lensbaby.com.
• Photo viewers. If you're looking to spend a little more cash for the photo-enthusiast in your life, Epson recently announced two photo viewers: The P-6000 ($600) and the P-7000 ($800). These devices have two purposes: They offer a very large, 4-inch LCD that's very accurate in terms of color. So, you'll get a better idea of exactly what you're shooting, especially when traveling. They also provide you with a quick and easy way to back up your shots. The P-6000 has an 80GB hard drive capacity and the P-7000 has 160GB. Both also offer various slide-show features.
• Inkjet paper. The show had many printers on view and different photo papers, which can really affect how people view your images. Canson, which has a long history of making fine-art paper, has introduced 14 new papers for photo inkjet printers, including four new surface textures (for example, smooth, ultra smooth, textured and canvas).
