G2x please

wish they did that for picasa and gmail.

brilliant work!

thanks to DPR for sharing the story.

thanks for that link

the 5mp pics look good.

and as a device, it'd have been better if they just kept going with mameo/meego

The collaboration is also due to include
'products for the DSLR segment' >>

and that'd be called "SOLAR" and cost 5 times as much.. great.

so it's more of interchangeable/attachable module camera for smartphone than interchangeable lenses for smartphones.

sounds almost like a future generation of devices.

there had been some lawsuit with samsung from ms.
it was settled with many conditions. one of them was said to be "samsung will put more effort into windows based smart devices"

i don think nikon is going into making phones, unless they pair up with some phone makers. if they do it alone, it's almost sure to be a market failure.

next thing we'll hear about is canon unlocking some one shot hdr by just some firmware updates. Hope that happens. It's not impossible with this dual photodiode pixels.

Will that happen atleast...

that is not slr anyway.

two photo diodes for a single pixel sounds different. wish if that helps to reduce noise too.

good. Dont know if it's great.

thinking about how the next 7d would be. Or wouldnt be there a 7D? :S
Just more custom modes and some weather sealing arent going to be enough to have the next 7d...

Wasnn't ARRI the brand name and ARRIFLEX a camera produced by them?

With this camera getting on sale, it'd almost be priced exactly over what the current 7D sells. And, looking at the specs of this one, i think, the 7D mark II would have to be a lot lot better,.....

AFAIK, only nikon full frame bodies have aperture drive motors which are seperated from the mirror-drive one. So, you wont be able to change the aperture without getting the mirror down. That's a...

In crope mode you'll lose resolution. Significantly. But The image will not be resampled.

And i'll admit that i dont know a lot about digital zoom, havent used it at all, even on mobile phones....

that's what a point and shoot camera does. Crops into the image digitally and zooms it for you. While Extender gives you magnification optically.

Not sure what i feel about thins thing. Looks like it works completely differently compared to the usual cameras.

Any idea how long does it take to start after the battery was removed and placed...

I thought they'd get it out at a much higher cost.
Sigma is doing a great job
