  • I doubt it. Because:

    1) You can't patent ideas, only practical applications of ideas
    2) Because this patent is about something Sigma's sensors don't do - hence the attempt to patent it.

  • That's why we've said 'Foveon-style' - we think it'll be more broadly recognised than 'X3.'

    We've also used multi-layer because Canon's existing multi-layered sensor is effectively an X2 design.

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    Very soon - I think I'm withing a week of finishing both this and the Coolpix A review.

  • @howardroark - sorry about that. I thought you were taking the ****. It's not a made up name - it's just that Richard Butler had already gone when I started working here.

    Anyway, I've interviewed...

  • Without meaning to suggest anything about the two styles of camera's futures:

    If, in 1885, I'd had to review an Ordinary ('Penny Farthing') next to a Rover Safery Bicycle, it would have been...

  • Without meaning to suggest anything about the two styles of cameras' respective futures:

  • @ Mescalamba - When I walk around Pike Place Market (a popular tourist spot), I see people using cameras in a way that it sounds like neither you or I would, but that doesn't mean it isn't...

  • The point is that there are cameras (at a similar price and with similar feature sets) that can and do focus quickly in live view mode. It's irrelevant whether they're DSLRs or not - they're...

  • If you can walk into a shop and leave with either a D5200 or a Panasonic G6 for similar money, it's entirely reasonable to highlight areas in which one does or doesn't match up to the other.

    We're...

  • We've removed the word primarily, since it's true of anyone trying to use live view.

    The presence of a flip-out screen clearly implies live view is a credible feature, so it's entirely fair to...

  • We've removed the word primarily, since the point is true for anyone trying to use live view to any degree.

    The presence of a flip-out screen strongly suggests that Nikon expects people to use...

  • I'd check your source about P&S being where the big profits were - I don't think that's been the case for a long time.

  • It's certainly difficult to think of anything more certain that could have been said.

    At which point, it's hard not to conclude that it's impossible to offer the level of certainty now required to...

  • @howardroark - Just addressing people by their surname is fairly rude.

    I think it's safe to assume that a company such as Adobe doesn't plan things on a day-to-day basis, and so 'the foreseeable...

  • You expect him to talk about the unforseeable future, perhaps?

    If you read the full quotes or watch the video, you'll see he says everything short of 'forever' - which nobody can actually say with...

  • What rights are being stolen and how does this law facilitate that?

    This law intends that there will be a (probably slow and awkward) process that will by design and through inconvenience, limit...

  • As I understand it (and the fine detail simply isn't in place yet, so it's impossible to be certain), the intention is that you would need an orphan license before you can (legally) use a work -...
