Continuing with part 2 of the Camera concept series (camera concepts part 1 can be found here).
Sony concept camera from tecnofotografia:
Canon 3D concept from Dean Franciss:
Fleximus camera - the lens (and I guess the sensor) are mounted on a flexible tube and can be a attached to a LCD display or a viewfinder (source: Art Lebedev, see also the design process of this idea):
There is also this:
- Kite-camera concept
- Pet camera
- No-scratch LCD screen concept (the LCD is used to cover and protect the fornt of the camera)
- Always Handy Cam
- Oneshot Camera - a camera that looks like a lighter
And some concept cameras from Nikon:

I like the big status screen on the top of that alpha… and that’s pretty much the only thing i like.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper and smaller to put a square sensor in the cameras instead if building huge double-handled bricks with more buttons, like this Sony and many other pro DSLRs? You could choose either a square picture or portrait/landscape formats with one button. Jeez…
I like that flash unit
Come to think of it, the viewfinder/mirror box would have to be larger with a square sensor, but still, that Sony camera looks like a monster. Maybe the square sensor would be best for EVIL cameras of the future. As I said before, the old-school mirror/prism solution has to go, eventually. It’s pricey and fragile, plus the lenses have to be large and expensive, compared to the rangefinder-style configuration.
Not if it were 24×24….
36×36, bigger box, mirror, sensor, lenses, everything, but 24×24 would work (even 30×30 if you calculate the diagonal of the current lens lineups image circle.).
I like the Sony concept. It adds a new spin to cam design. I would like to see designs for square sensors.
I like the look of the sony and the big hand grip and I like the idea of modules for the Canon. I wish soon there is a modular DSLR , with different grip types, differnt viewfinders, sensors, etc.
Love the look of that Sony prototype, the placement of the on/off switch is a big improvement. Although that vertical grip looks like it needs just a little more work… Other than that, the ergonomics look great!
the flash unit is genious!
I Love it! It looks so great!!! I think i would by a camera like this. There are a lot of good ideas.
props to great strobe design
seriously. that flash design kicks ass.
