Modernized Old-School Cameras

The 'M24.004' Camera Creates Physical Keepsakes of Your Images

It could be argued that the art of printing photos has become quite rare as consumers increasingly look to their smartphones and other digital methods to snap pictures, but the 'M24.004' camera harkens back to a time when this was the norm.

Designed by Shaun Wellens, the camera sports an ultra-modern design that has a brushed metal finish along with exposed screws that make it look like a piece of equipment straight out of a science fiction movie. The camera boasts an embedded camera lens and is capable of printing your pictures as you take them to create a physical keepsake. This acknowledges the increasing number of users who are less satisfied with photography methods that are digital-only to bring back a time-honored process.
