Customized digital camera backs*

*Inspired by recent real life situations!

Typical digital back with LCD screen

Serviceable but rather passé.


The Car Mechanic

Mysterious and ominous OXS sensor appears bottom right. Stays on until $520 is paid for unspecified diagnostic tests.


The Analog Lover

Meant to pacify hardcore film users. Controls are laid out in the comforting and familiar style of a 1970s pre-cable, pre-satellite, pre-digital television.


The Teen

Designed with four times the normal number of buttons to accommodate multitasking teens. Button layout forms groovy hipster pattern with vague promotional undertones.


The Sicko

LCD fills with fog and moisture to simulate the worldview of someone with a head cold.


The Blogger

LCD displays itself from meta perspective. Anything caught in the camera's feedback loop is analyzed and commented on recursively until unrecognizable.


The Angry Wife

No LCD screen. You're expected to read the mind of the camera to know what it's thinking. You will be tested on your knowledge.


The All Purpose

Sleek controls streamline decision making. You know what to do.
