The inquisitive minds of the creators of unusual devices very often turn to photography and video technology.
The most unusual cameras in the world today are presented in our top ten. Each of them is unique in its own way: design, characteristics, innovative capabilities. And while most of these cameras will never go into mass production, the ingenuity of the inventors commands respect.
10. Zippo Lighter Shaped Camera hides a VGA camera with a resolution of 640 x 480 inside. The device has 64 MB of internal memory, a connector for connecting to a computer via USB and a timer function.
9. Seitz camera has a set of features that can please many photography enthusiasts - 160 megapixels to create a vivid picture of 6 x 17 cm, a shutter speed of 1 / 20,000 of a second, a transfer rate of 300MB / s, and an ISO range of 500 to 10,000. its price, perhaps, should be mentioned - 32,266 US dollars.
8. BINOCA01 by Thanko Is a symbiosis of binoculars and a 2-megapixel camera. The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries, pictures can be recorded using 32 MB of built-in memory, there are no slots for memory cards, alas. There is no LCD display to view the photos taken. But the dimensions of the camera are rather tiny - 116 x 67 x 37 mm and weighs 215 g.
7. GoPro Digital Hero Is a wrist camera, among which features a photo resolution of 648 x 480, a video of 320x240, an internal memory of 32 MB, and a waterproof body up to 30 meters deep. To keep the camera out of the way, you can press it against your wrist and “bend” it into working condition before shooting.
6. "Camera 360" by Cedric Tay, it is the ideal tool for panoramic photography. During operation, it is enough to hold the camera with one hand, almost all control is carried out using sensors, i.e. there are practically no buttons and sliders on the smooth body of the device.
5. Concept Canon Snap Is a glimpse into the future from a renowned camera manufacturer. A tiny yet powerful device that can be worn on your finger. A single button on the camera body suggests somewhat limited capabilities, although the developers claim that the Canon Snap is quite capable of rivaling the most expensive modern cameras.
4. "Flying stick" by designer Tsuno Wang is intended for shooting from above. The shaft of the camera is unwound in the palms, then the device soars into the air and begins to take pictures automatically at a certain frequency. We are probably not talking about high quality, but the camera, of course, turned out to be very unusual.
3. Triops Is three ultra-wide-angle lenses in one device. The camera shoots in any position, reacts to sound, movement or manual control. Additional features include panoramic shooting and a sports mode for shooting moving subjects. According to creator Francisca Faoro, Triops is easy to use and has an intuitive user interface. A special device is provided for storing and viewing photos, as well as recharging the camera.
2. Concept from Samsung is a hybrid of a camera and a photo frame. The camera does not have any settings, its task is automatic shooting. To use the gadget in the photo frame mode, there is a built-in stand-"leg", and for the convenience of shooting in the camera mode, there is a barrel-shaped grip on the thin body.
1.Touch sight Is a unique camera for visually impaired and part-time people the most unusual camera in the world... The audio recording function, activated for a few seconds after the shutter is released, allows you to make voice memos for each shot. Naturally, there is no LCD screen in the device, but there is a 3-D Braille screen. Without seeing the image, users can “touch” the images. Whatever the opinions of skeptics about Touch Sight, one cannot deny the unusualness and important social orientation of this project.
