This Artefact Camera Futura concept is definitely one that's worth taking a look at. The Seattle-based creative consultancy created a fake video demonstration for this concept piece, so this potential product can, as they say, "spark a discussion around the question of “what if” the product was really available."

The Artefact Camera Futura has a lens with a built-in full-frame image sensor which allows it to be used separately from the camera via WiFi. It also has [multi-touch display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-modular-optical-system) for more control over taken images and allows the [sharing images directly from the camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket). This concept has the same connectivity and app platform as your smartphone.
