If you were to do away with all the complex parts that thicken your typical [point-and-shoot device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-camera) between the lens and the display, you might end up with something resembling the Kacha Digital Camera. This innovative gadget is a remarkable reduction of the [modern picture-taker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m11d) that's a great deal more intuitive to use.

Essentially, you've got an adjustable frame that can capture scenes of standard photograph proportions as well as [panoramic shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cs8). Simply slide the two halves apart and the viewfinder will widen. Hold it up, look through the window and the cutting-edge camera will save the image that you see.

As if this wonderfully straightforward Kacha Digital Camera wasn't impressive enough, the Lite-On Technology Corp. product also boasts the ability to charge its battery with the energy generated by the agitations inside your pocket.
