Nova DSLR
Erin Fong, an industrial design student at California College of the Arts has devised a completely new type of DSLR camera. The Nova DSLR breaks with the conventional SLR form factor that is rooted in film camera design, and takes a new approach to camera ergonomics. “The Nova DSLR Camera takes different forms with the mobility of the camera arms, giving comfort to left-handed and right-handed users. In addition, the buttons are located at the fingertips allowing users to simultaneously take pictures and easily locate the features they need,” Fong explains. As you might have guessed already, the Nova DSLR is a concept only, but it surely is a novel one that deserves attention in our view.

With film-based cameras, form followed function, but there’s no reason (aside from tradition) that digital cameras must adhere to a traditional camera shape. That rectangular box format may be comfortably familiar, but it’s far from ergonomic.

It just looks hideous - go back to the drawing board and try harder.

to me it sounds like this boy has rarely ever used a dslr. Having buttons hidden out of your scope on the front part of the camera must be one of the most terrible designs I've ever seen

I totally agree with justme.
There is nothing wrong with trying to design a new shape for dSLR cameras, but only if the functionality and ergonomics are improved at the same time. In this case, ergonomics are completely messed up. The design seems to be thought out solely for the sake of being different. I would much rather stay with a traditional shape than this one.

The best feature of it is, it takes different forms with the mobility of the camera arms, giving comfort to left-handed and right-handed users.
