OneShot camera: Shake to recharge

(Credit: Yanko Design)

These days, it's hard to find a digicam without an LCD display, which got me wondering if the OneShot Camera concept by German designer Tino Klaehne would ever take off.

Klaehne envisions the OneShot Camera with face detection, though he didn't mention how it would work without a display. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the OneShot Camera is that you just have to shake the gadget to recharge it. I'm guessing it uses internal memory to store the image files because from the pictures there doesn't seem to be any slot for flash memory media.

His lipstick-shaped device is so compact, you can wrap your hands around it and the shooter disappears into your fist. To take a picture, you press the top of the gizmo, which seemingly functions as a viewfinder for composing shots. Is the OneShot Camera something you'd get if it ever makes it to stores?

I guess for ladies, this design makes it easier to carry in their smallest going out purse. If there's room for lipstick, there's room for this. The card-style cameras that attempt to fit in the same footprint as your credit card or ID are way too thick and can't take much of the everyday abuse people would give it.

Otherwise, it seems mainly like a spy gadget.

Perverts and private investigators will buy this.

No talk about the specifics...aperature, shutter lag, MegaPixels, storage...And it's nice that it has face detection...but what if you're not taking a picture of a face? I guess if it makes face detection a requirement, then women on trains won't have to worry about upskirt shots!

nice idea, but i don't think the design is very practical. with some improvements i might get one for the bars.
