It’s sad to assert, but in terms of quickly sharing photos, point-and-shoots really can’t compete with the phones in our pockets. This camera concept has a singular solution: it saves photos to 3 USB memory sticks for simple distribution.
If your sharees are within the immediate vicinity, the UCIM concept, designed by Jung Eun Park, works great-just snap your shots and let your mates run off with the USB nubs crammed with photos. That becomes problematic when that friend lives half way worldwide, sure, however it’s better than not having a camera without any sharing options.
And while this particular model may generate some questions-how do I get the USB keys back from my friends? etc-it does seem just a little inspired at a time when cheaper point-and-shoot cameras are going to wish to begin connecting, by some means, to stay relevant. [ Yanko via Wired ]
