A Paper-Based, Flat Digital Camera that Resembles a Leica
The 21st-century equivalent of a disposable camera is a Leica-inspired digital camera made of paper that can shoot 16-megapixel still images and 1080p video. The Paper Shoot Camera is a digital iteration of the disposable film camera, and it makes use of recyclable materials to ensure that its design is environmentally responsible.
This camera stands out from other paper and cardboard cameras because it has a face and back that make it look like a real, thin film camera, like those classic silver metal and black Leica-style cameras from the 1960s or 1970s.
This ultra-thin Leica-inspired camera is made of paper card stock with a small digital camera in between. According to the specifications, the camera has a 16MP sensor that can capture still images as well as 1080p video (up to 10 seconds long) and timelapse videos.
For both stills and video, the camera employs a fully automatic capture mode with automatic exposure and white balance. There’s even a microSD card slot with support for cards up to 32GB, as well as a Micro USB port for transferring photos and videos from the camera. There is only one button, which serves as both the power and shutter buttons.
The Paper Shoot camera has interchangeable covers, allowing users to simulate different camera models or colors. A micro effect lens, a wide-angle lens, and a radial effect lens are also available as lens accessories. Though previously only seen in China, the Paper Shoot camera is now available in North America for as little as $120.
