Taking pictures of children, especially babies, can prove to be difficult at times. They are usually crying, uninterested and usually focused on a million other things. Back in 2009 Samsung created a lineup of cameras that had a [dual LCD display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollei-powerflex-x8-dual-lens) which made it easy to take self portraits. They decided to use that technology to create the Samsung ST700 which uses the front LCD display to playback some cute animations to capture children's attention. Aside from being great to get your kids' attention, the Samsung ST700 also boasts a 16.1 megapixel sensor, so you will be able to capture their smiles in full detail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Child-friendly Cameras:** Opportunity for camera manufacturers to create more kid-friendly cameras with features like animated displays. - **Animated Displays:** More electronics companies could incorporate animated displays in products to make them more appealing to children. - **Creative Child Photography:** There is an opportunity for photographers to explore new creative approaches for capturing children's attention during photo shoots. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Camera manufacturers can develop more child-focused products with innovative features like animated displays and child-friendly designs. - **Photography Services:** Photography studios can offer creative and engaging photo shoots for children using technology and other means to capture their attention. - **Childcare Services:** Childcare centers and nannies can appeal to parents by offering photography services that include photo shoots with child-friendly cameras and animated displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Friendly Camera Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-for-kids.md) - [Playful Thermal Printer Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childrens-print-camera.md) - [Kid-Friendly Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myfirst-camera-insta-wi.md) - [Video Projector Camera Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-creator-video-projector-camera.md) - [Screen-Free Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-snap-camera.md) - [Collectible Mini Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-creator-mini-cam.md) - [Hybrid Triple-Lens Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amkov-f3b.md) - [Color-In Photo Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-camera-concept.md) - [Easily Maneuvered Outdoor Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-camera.md)
