We all take pictures to save good memories. At a party or on vacation, we all stop and snap those moments, but the craziest things in life randomly happen – between those photos – and aren't captured… until now.
Memoto is a tiny 5-megapixel camera that automatically captures these moments for you. Simply clip it to your shirt, and it will take care of the rest. Its unobtrusive form will make you forget about it, and as long as you have it on, it will snap a photo every 30 seconds. Take it off, and it will stop. No matter how you wear it and how you move around, your photos will always be taken upright thanks to a built-in accelerometer.
The Memoto app will make it easy to go back in time, revive specific moments and share them with friends and family. As you'll be taking excessive amounts of photos, the app will smartly organize them for you using many parameters including GPS location.
When connected to a computer, all photos are uploaded to Memoto's servers, where they are securely stored and organized. You can then download them in bulk or just leave them on Memoto's servers as storage is unlimited. Note that a flat monthly fee will apply for this service (first year of storage is included for Kickstarter backers), and that it will not be possible to use the camera without it.

Taking pictures with smartphones is surely easy. Instantly, you snap a photo and share it to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account. But it's obviously not the best way as we all have that anger when it comes to pictures taken with a smartphone: the quality. No matter the smartphone, pictures will never look as good as what you get from an actual digital camera.
But what if your camera could be a little smarter? Imagine connecting it to WiFi and uploading pictures directly to social networks, like you would do on a smartphone. Well Nikon thought about that and came up with the COOLPIX S800c, a 16-megapixel digital camera with 10x optical zoom running on Android. Not only your pictures will look amazing and sharing will be made easy, but you'll also get to play Angry Birds on that Android-powered camera!

Imagine picking up the Instagram app icon, stretching it with the same ratio
and turning it into a real camera. Well ADR Studio did that and created
the Instagram Socialmatic camera concept. This square shaped camera features
16GB of storage, a 4:3 touchscreen, LED flash, a main lens with optical zoom and a second for 3D filters, webcam applications and QR code capturing.
Like the instant Polaroid cameras, the Socialmatic can instantly prints your photos. It packs an internal printer with paper cartridge and 4 colors ink tanks and
the Instagram Paper Sheets can be glued just like a post-it. When a photo is printed,
your Instagrammer QR code is automatically generated so others can follow you by capturing your QR code with their Socialmatic. This whole concept would run on
InstaOs, an operating system combining both Facebook and Instagram features and allowing you to easily share your work. Would you buy the Socialmatic if it gets real?
