IKEA reveals KNÄPPA cardboard digital camera
« Back to Article
KNÄPPA is a flat-pack cardboard digital camera from IKEA
KNÄPPA runs on two AA batteries can take 40 images and features a swing out USB connector
The eco-friendly and recyclable KNÄPPA camera is made out of one piece of folded cardboard which is secured by two plastic screws
KNÄPPA shoots at 8 spf (seconds per frame) and the results are decidedly lo-fi
While the camera packs better eco-credentials than most DSLRs, the performance of the KNÄPPA isn't likely to worry the likes of Nikon or Canon
The camera will be given away in IKEA stores to promote the new PS 2012 furniture collection
It's hoped that IKEA shoppers will use the KNÄPPA to share images of the Swedish furniture in their own homes
If you want advanced image stabilization you should rest the KNÄPPA on something stable
The zoom function on the IKEA KNÄPPA involves moving the camera
Article Summary
If you've got a craving for cheap Swedish meatballs or self assembly furniture, IKEA is normally a safe bet. But despite announcing its new UPPLEVA "hybrid furniture" range, IKEA probably wouldn't be your first stop when looking for consumer electronics … and that's not going to change with the unveiling of the KNÄPPA flat-pack cardboard digital camera.
