Digicam gun takes point-and-shoot seriously

The Aimat is a squirt-gun-looking digital camera that you, well, point and shoot. For now, it's a concept device and not for sale, and for good reason.

This campy camera gun is, quite literally, that. The Aimat is a squirt-gun-looking digital camera that you, well, point and shoot. Conceived by designer Franziska Dierschke, it's a concept device and not for sale--and for good reason. We can't imagine packing this piece through airport customs or even any sensitive area for that matter.

One can also expect the picture quality to be pretty Lomo-esque. Still, despite its "for laughs" intentions, this "firearm" could be aiming to be a shortlived novelty, given its notable lack of a viewfinder, zoom function, memory expansion options, and all the other niceties we expect in our cameras today.
