The popularity of the smartphone might have many people believing the days of the traditional point-and-shoot camera are limited, but the conceptual Sony Alpha 16 identifies what could be done to keep the photography equipment relevant for younger users.
Offering a stylish aesthetic that comes in a wide range of different color options, the camera has a bezel-free screen on the rear that offers photographers with enhanced control over the functionality of the device. This enables users to put the focus on capturing a scene rather than fiddling with the functionality as they go about their travels or routine.
The conceptual Sony Alpha 16 camera is the design work of industrial designer Pranab P Kumar and features a smartphone-like aesthetic that would likely be favored by users looking to upgrade from their existing device.
