Erin Fong’s Nova DSLR
Left-handed folks have long been passed-over when it comes to converting everyday devices to suit their needs, especially when it comes to cameras. But with photographer Erin Fong’s new concept camera, the Nova DSLR, lefties and righties alike can snap great photos with ease.
Along with its creative design (it looks like some sort of TIE Fighter from Star Wars), the Nova may actually give photographers a unique angle when shooting. Fong, an Industrial Design student in California, came up with the design while contemplating the lack of versatility and flexibility in the current DSLR market.
Indeed, the camera itself has ergonomics in mind. With a Canon digital SLR as base, the camera’s arms are able to swing around to provide adjustable handles for users and giving the device what looks to be a periscope-feel. Also, the operation buttons are located on one of these arms, at the fingertips, allowing a photographer to easily locate the desired features.
Again, this is just a concept camera, so you probably won’t be seeing these manufactured anytime soon. Still, these are the sort of innovations that keep the world of photography and cameras constantly evolving and allowing you, the photographer, to capture those unique images.
