Choosing a camera usually consists of having one for physical prints and another for digital copies, but the 'Halo' printer camera aims to merge both of these designs into one versatile unit.

Designed by Feng Bo, the 'Halo' camera allows users to preview their shot using the [large screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-1) in order to frame it the way they like it. From here, the photo can either be stored digitally or printed to enable users to choose between the options as they desire rather than being limited to only one option at a time.

The 'Halo' printer camera is designed in several [different color options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearcam) and features a circular flash on the front that encapsulates the lens for the optimal level of light.
