Martyn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Could see this being useful as the technology gets refined….and cheaper ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30437280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MircoV Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Everything good and well.... I have a feeling it will disappear as fast as it came. Cameras are getting these days faster with better sensors.... i can not image that such a thing can be as fast and having the same image quality as for example a Sony A7 or Canon 5d. Also i dont see any advantage for adjusting sharpness afterwards. We are all teached and used to do it before. If we get used to to it right at the beginning we will not get "lazy" and save a lots of extra time. I even didnt mentioned the ability of using different lenses. I don't see it necessary as a refined technology but either as an different under testing. The question is if it is really a practical one for more advanced photographers looking at the reasons above. Mirco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I read a report that this camera/technology has some way to go before it would be able to compete with existing technology. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 This article, or versions of it, have been predicting the demise of "normal" camers for a year or three now . . . don't fall for the claim that you can simply focus after you've taken the image--you can't. What you can do is choose one of several different focus planes, which is far short of the claims often made.

spacecadet Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 When do we get to hang out by the pool bar and send the cameras out by themselves? Ed, may I recommend 'The Reproductive System' by John Sladek, although it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you'd already read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 When do we get to hang out by the pool bar and send the cameras out by themselves? It could happen according to Stephen Hawking. In fact, the machines might eventually order us to shut up and go sit by the pool. http://www.siliconrepublic.com/innovation/item/39655-stephen-hawking-artificia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
