The VWFNDR Keirin is an expansive new concept for the future of cameras


The Keirin is a stylish concept camera for panoramic photography with a unique touchscreen interface.

Named after the Japanese cycling discipline that takes place on a similarly oval track, the Keirin is a camera focused on panorama photography. The main idea here is that you can use the full screen as a panoramic viewfinder and swipe in from the right to bring in all the regular manual exposure controls; this is also how you adjust the aspect ratio of the photo. As someone who loves dedicated camera hardware but has largely switched to phones for photography, recreational or otherwise — all of the photos in this article were taken on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra — I don’t mind the lack of physical controls as much as I might have years ago.
