Wallet Cameras

Sony Snap

— May 6, 2008 — Tech
Young Hwan Kim designed this concept camera for Sony dubbed the Snap..

"Inspired by a man's wallet, the surface is covered in leather. Like other ultra compact Cybershot cameras, you slide the cover to activate, only it pivots from a corner for easy one handed operation," Yanko Design notes. "Outside of that, it's just another run-of-the-mill Cybershot."

Pretty sleek, understated design. I would definitely go for something like that.

Practical, stylish and perfect for the photographer on the go, these wallet cameras are a one-of-a-kind innovation that will surely fly off the shelves.
