# Palm-Held Point-and-Shoots The Inclusive Digital Camera Snaps Subjects Easily from Waist Height By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclusive-digital-camera References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/04/15/truly-handy-cam/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Inclusive-Digital-Camera/4468695) Now that many modern cameras have come to abandon the window-style viewfinder entirely, products like the Inclusive Digital Camera make a great deal of sense; one can behold a digitally translated scene without your eyes pointing towards the subject too. Andrew Warner's contribution to contemporary photography technology is this device that can be effortlessly held at a comfortable height. You can operate the Inclusive Digital Camera from your waist, really. A generous display screen is visible at over 1 foot's distance. This is slightly angled with ergonomics in mind, and is nearly perpendicularly configured compared to the camera lens. There are so many ingenious features to this photo-snapping gadget, and one of them includes the 90-degree rotating lens that requires no awkward wrist positioning in order to switch between portrait and landscape framing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Windowless Cameras:** Opportunity for developing cameras that eliminate traditional viewfinders and provide a digital display instead. - **Waist-held Cameras:** Potential for creating cameras that can be comfortably operated from waist height, allowing for more ease and flexibility in photography. - **Ergonomic Photography Gadgets:** Opportunity for innovative gadgets that are designed with ergonomics in mind, providing comfort and ease of use for photographers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Camera Manufacturing:** Opportunity for camera manufacturers to explore and invest in the development of digital windowless cameras and waist-held cameras. - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for consumer electronics companies to create ergonomic gadgets for photography that enhance the user experience and cater to the needs of photographers. - **Photography Equipment Retail:** Opportunity for retailers specializing in photography equipment to offer waist-held cameras and other ergonomic gadgets to photographers, providing innovative solutions in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Easily Maneuvered Outdoor Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-camera.md) - [Translucent Pocket Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearcam.md) - [Dedicated Content Creator Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket.md) - [Ergonomic Solo Shooting Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clips-camera.md) - [Palm-Sized Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-instax-pal.md) - [Visual Impairment Camera Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-dschx99-rnv.md) - [Modular Point-and-Shoot Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-camera.md) - [Point-and-Shoot-Inspired Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-cybershot.md) - [Downward-Facing Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-6.md)
