It's easy to forget how difficult photography was in 1888. Consider, for example, these recommendations extracted from the manual of the Kodak 1:

"The Kodak cannot be used in open air...

"We've found that when examining our images closely, many are visibly shaken, showing a distinct double-image which is almost perfectly vertically displaced (when the camera is in landscape...

Deblurring an image by digital deconvolution is not exactly a novelty. It is famous, for example, the use of deblurring by software to correct a serious flaw in the primary mirror of the Hubble...

An alternative to using a bundle of optical fibers is using a curved sensor. The planar process is the primary process by which monolithic integrated circuits are built, but nonetheless curved...

"it's an f/8.5 lens in term of 35mm format, piece of cake".

I think there is a confusion here. In terms of control of aberrations, an F/2.2 lens is an F/2.2 lens, no matter the size of the sensor....

Unbelievable, the Nokia Lumia 1020 outresolves almost all FF cameras except the Nikon D800! For example, if you compare the Nokia Lumia 1020 with the Canon 5D MkrIII you'll get the following...

"debates about pixel density will surely go on forever"
-----------------------------------------

People count pixels because they can. In the film age, nobody counted how many grains there were...

It was a real cruelty that the Phase One IQ180 has been included. Suddenly the IQ of the other cameras has gone stale.

The Japanese copied so much the Leica in the '50s that henceforth all camera designers in Japan have been born with a gene stamped "Leica" in their DNA chains.

"…lenses designed for phase detection need to be able to race to a specified location very quickly, whereas contrast detection lenses need to be able to scan back and forth very quickly." (DPR – On...

I think you meant spatial subsampling. Subsampling requires relatively few computing resources, so Canon and Nikon use subsampling probably because they do not have video processors powerful enough...

>Therefore, I conclude that the demo shown by Canon is technically lame, more of a marketing gig than anything else.

Yes, I think the same way. Possibly Canon used a lens with aperture large...

Just a nice attempt to hide the fact that Canon is losing the battle of sensors to Nikon?

Leica doesn't rebadge m43 Panasonic cameras because that would strongly hurt the sales of the M system.

Now let's hope that Panasonic does not have the same fate as Minolta.

Another proof that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Just curious to know if he also uses video to communicate…

Too many people think that distortion correction by software is a bad thing. Nothing is so further from the truth. In certain cases, for example, when the lens suffers from barrel distortion, the...
