Well, the periscope look anyway. The Digital Reflex Camera, designed by Yaniv Berg, drew inspiration from old school reflex cameras, which had the eyepiece on top of the camera and thus were cradled close to the stomach. So in practice I guess it would be more like an upside-down periscope.

It seems pretty far out, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some mirrorless cameras think outside of the box(y boring camera design) a little bit. Periscope up! [Yanko]
