NOVA Concept DSLR

Posted in Cameras by Conner Flynn on November 29th, 2009

NOVA Concept DSLRI love video games, but I’m not into photography. That probably describes many of us. This might be just the camera for me. Something that will bridge the gap between games and pictures.

It’s from designer Erin Fong and is dubbed the “NOVA DSLR”. The folding handle is obviously great for taking one-handed shots. And hey, it’s shaped kinda sorta like a game controller, so I already know how to use that. If a Klingon Starship and a camera mated, this is it right here. Look at that design. Those swooping wings. Looks like it could take down a Federation camera-ship.
