A CONCEPT Not to be confused with the already developed skjm.com/icam/ !
My iPhone is so handy and so much better at getting good pictures than it used to be that I find myself taking out the DSLR kit less and less these days, and just doing a little more work on the editing side, something Annie Leibovitz says is the key to great shots anyway. But a new iPhone accessory concept brings the best of both worlds via a single device — albeit one that doesn’t exist, yet.
The iCam is a simple case for the iPhone 5 (yes, iPhone 5), as conceptualized by Italy’s ADR Studio. The studio used a mock-up it had created for the iPhone 5,
featuring a larger edge-to-edge screen and oval home button, as the
base device for the iCam add-on, but it’s not hard to imagine it working
with the iPhone 4 either.
The quality of the design is indefinitely not apple. Grabbing a button
layout from canon? Putting the too small virtual buttons in the middle
of the layout – the furthest away location possible? The sharp edge top
right to scratch the phone? The tacky and pointless front facing screen?
The overall ‘no way to hold it without touching a button’ layout?
Someone should seriously introduce a camera accessory like this. If
someone like Panasonic introduced a Lumix camera case for the iPhone
that supported micro 4/3 lenses i’d purchase it in a heartbeat.
