Scout: Instagram Concept Camera



Now don't get us wrong we understand and welcome the popularity behind Instagram but we don't actually like or use it. That's not to say the mobile photo sharing app isn't popular because it is, now more than ever it is enjoying a wealth of success, particularly after being snapped up by Facebook last month for US$1 billion, which wasn't all in cash for those of you gasping at the amount.

Imagine however though that the Instagram idea lived outside of the iPhone and was no longer an app but a fully functioning camera on its own. Well one design studio in Italy did just that and came up with its own hardware concept for such a device, called the "Instagram Socialmatic," it would work by merging online photo-sharing with instant-like prints for sharing in the offline world. A bit like that camera called the Polaroid, remember them.
