The 'Cameradactyl' is the design work of Ethan Moses and boasts an antiquated yet highly imaginative design that brings a new sense of wonder to the art of photography.
The camera is inspired by the look and feel of vintage equipment, while the unorthodox color and pattern scheme makes it appear quite modern and approachable for photographers of all ages to appreciate. The design is intended to be inherently customizable and can be used for shooting images on 4x5" film that is far different from the other digital solutions on the market.
The 'Cameradactyl' is crafted with the use of 3D-printed components, which helps to decentralize the manufacturing process and allow photographers to change it up as they require or desire.
