An industrial design student, Manuel Perez Prada, has designed this concept for an SLR of the future.

Manuel took inspiration from ancient telescopic instruments, whereby all the mechanics fit inside a barrel optimizing it for one-handed operated.

This apparently should make it easier to hold steady, removing the need for optical stabilisation and maybe even tripods.

An interesting design, none the less, but whether we will ever see anything like this hit the market remains to be seen.
