"Outside of that, it's just another run-of-the-mill Cybershot." Pretty sleek, understated design. I would definitely go for something like that. **Implications** - The Sony Snap is a part of the new age of [portable photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-rx1r-iii) and hybrid technology.
