CarVac, that video makes clear it definitely isn't fast and twiddling free method for even semi accurate guessing of how much you have to move focus. (at least unless target is extremely simple)
Color noise reduction when sensor doesn't know anything about color and only records luminance... Yeah, right. Maybe they'll next claim they've got Santa and elves working in their factory.
Might be that it's hard to built stabilization into fast lens and retain good image quality. Correction of lens aberrations (which retrofocus design has plenty) at fast aperture needs very precise...
Roland, that utilitarian size LCD was the reason why A2 had such good menu free controls in smaller size than lot worser controls entry level DSLRs. Today's cameras look like their main use is...
Fotokeena, form follows functionality. Only things to look at in camera for photography (instead of some darn fashion decoration) is how ergonomical grip you can get from it, and if controls are...
Yep, if cars were designed like cameras demanded by these retroists they would be and work like horse wagons! Most of people's camera design cravings feel exactly like this joke about standards and...
Bullseye. Most want what marketroids and fashion tells them to want... Some others haven't even gotten to later film era but are still stuck in World War II era's two by four analog mechanical...
> why the hell do you need EV wheel on manual camera? Because retro people haven't gotten over analog mechanical World War II era and insist wasting limited real estate on camera's surface to fixed...
Problem of folded optics design is that it severely limits the size of optics. Even with small sensors you don't see much of zoom range and good f-ratios in folded optics compacts.
Precisely. Diffraction and lens aberrations along with strong noise removing has blurred pixels of compacts so badly there hasn't been real improvement in image details in many years. You could...
There is no such thing as "digital" zoom, only BS zoom of cropping! Whole point of optically zooming in (increasing focal length) is getting smaller details and that's something cropping won't ever...
This forced hyping campaign in everywhere just doesn't look like it... But more like typical consumeristic FUD marketing to lift products/brands which otherwise couldn't compete to above...
And like in any FUD marketing advertised things aren't really new. Remote control and tethered shooting are about as old as digicameras. For example earlier probably every Olympus compact had...
Maybe they're called smart because modern corporation driven consumeristic world has trained Joe average consumer to have less logical thinking ability than what these devices are...
Yep, question is about required data bandwidth, processing power and storage. Data bandwidth and memory needs which increase linearly with resolution and fps while processing power requirements for...
