# Solar Point and Shoot Camera The Sun&Cloud Digital Camera Can Be Charged by the Sun or Hand Crank By Michael Hines | Published 2013-05-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suncloud-digital-camera References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/japan-high-definition-digital-camera-features-dynamo-solar-panels/) & [superheadz](http://www.superheadz.com/sunandcloud/en/) Japan's own Superheadz has just released the Sun&Cloud digital camera, a camera that can be charged in two [eco-friendly ways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-2). The boxy camera can be charged by the sun or a hand crank. The solar option requires the camera to be left in direct sunlight for 12 hours. Charging with the hand crank is a bit more time intensive, with Superheadz saying that a speed of 100 to 150 cranks per minute will give four to eight shots. In addition to its eco street cred the Sun&Cloud digital camera also has 15 different filters, an LED light and shortcut buttons. If eco-friendly options take too long, the camera can always be charged via a USB cable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Charging:** Opportunity for the development of innovative devices that can be charged using renewable energy sources like solar power or hand cranks. - **Alternative Energy Solutions:** Increased demand for products that offer alternative energy solutions for charging devices, reducing reliance on traditional power sources. - **Enhanced Camera Features:** Space for innovation in camera technology, such as adding various filters, LED lights, and shortcut buttons for improved user experience. ### Where This Applies - **Electronics:** Changing power source requirements in consumer electronics will drive the need for new charging technologies and innovative designs. - **Renewable Energy:** Growing market for renewable energy systems and devices as consumers seek eco-friendly options for powering their devices. - **Photography:** Opportunities for advancements in camera features and functions to enhance the photography experience for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stone Paper-Made Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-shoot.md) - [Eco-Friendly Paper Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-camera.md) - [Solar-Powered Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-security-camera.md) - [Screen-Free Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-snap-camera.md) - [Solar-Powered Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphahom-solar-camera.md) - [Revived Analog Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lomo-mca.md) - [Solar-Powered Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quip-solar-battery-charger.md) - [Device-Charging Sun Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-power-hat.md) - [Dual-Camera Security Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eufy-solocam-s340.md)
