What makes a digicam fashionable?
This is the overlooked Olympus Stylus Verve / µ-mini (2004). Very small, and underpowered by today's specs (4mp), but with an aerodynamic design no other digicam would have since. It first debuted in the 2004 Olympus Fashion Week in New York.

What makes this design unique?
It comes from a lineage first seen with Ross Lovegrove. He developed this Olympus Eye concept digicam (1990). It is unknown if he helped design the Verve, but this futuristic look carried over from the Eye to Stylus Verve in a decade.

As tech becomes increasingly becomes utilitarian and all consolidated, it is important to recognize when digicams were once a fashion statement for the consumer. Maybe companies will take notice as users start splitting their smartphones into single-use devices.
