The Camera Futura concept from Artefact Group Design isn’t in production yet, but it probably will be soon.

Spies, paparazzi, wildlife photographers and perverts take note:

With the lens attached to the body, the device behaves like a contemporary digital camera; with manual controls for focus and zoom on the lens, as well as aperture and shutter speed dials on the body. However, once the lens is detached, Camera Futura is an entirely different beast and reveals its true potential, by using the hardware architecture that we have christened “WVIL”, meaning “Wireless Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens”.

The camera body now acts as a wireless viewfinder for the lens that could be handheld or mounted on a tripod. Furthermore, lens controls such as zoom and focus are now facilitated through the use of the touch screen.
