Introducing Snappy.

While digital cameras have advanced in resolution and speed throughout the 90s, one thing has remained constant; controls have mirrored the SLRs of the 60s and 70s. A modern photographer needs modern controls which is why we’re thrilled to introduce you to the world’s first on-camera and Internet Digital Assistant; Snappy.

Snappy vs. Rivals

The short story is that Snappy has no rivals. In a world of buttons that wear out, dials that become loose and are hard to use with gloves there’s nothing quite like the experience of speaking to your virtual assistant and having every command instantly executed by Snappy’s electronic intelligence.

Now some of you may think Snappy is rivals with the best known Digital Assistant, Clippy. But nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, they’re cousins and spend the holidays together exchanging gifts, and telling stories about the funny things humans do!

Fun Fact: All virtual assistants share a common ancestor in an early application for counting shoes and they all communicate with each other in ways we still don’t understand!

We’re partnering with Lawnmower Technologies LLC to bring you the next generation of fully immersive digital camera software. Imagine walking hand in hand with Snappy through endless fields of light and shadow for all eternity. There are no limits except your imagination in Virtual Worlds. There, Snappy will help you set up lighting diagrams, learn new techniques of composition and help you become the photographer you always dreamed of being.
