I see you became a little more congenial with the move.

This isn't an issue for me to be concerned over. :-| Sure. I want you to smash all your gear with a sledge hammer because this thread has deemed it to be totally obsolete and useless. ;-) Now are ...

It appears that there has been sufficient interest in the thread to make it a worthwhile effort.

I don't mind the somewhat off-topic threads because I find them entertaining and informative.  If I don't find one interesting I just ignore it.  I also ignore a lot of on-topic threads.  ...

What professionals do with all this supporting gear could also be done through software.  It might be that they take the shot and then add all the lighting effects needed in PP.  Also, think of ...

Nearly every aspect of EOS M gear has been discussed ad nauseam in this forum.  About any discussion could be avoided by doing a search and reading past threads.  Even the M50 has been discussed ...

...but pulling your carry-on luggage out of the overhead bin to get your camera to snap the shot, along with your laptop to process the RAW file would, be a royal PITA. ;)

This is happening with much software but I am not sure it will happen with computational photography.  This technology will be offered by many companies over time and not just by the smartphone ...

Over the years I have seen many, many people buy a DSLR, (and now MILC) use it a few times and then never touch the camera again.  The main reason for this is they don't want the hassles of doing ...

You could say the same about a lot of thread topics brought up here and in other forums. The point I am making is that the Pixel 3 does this process blindly fast (and quite well for a first time ...

The groundbreaking part is it delivers a photo in seconds when it would take you hours, or days, to do yourself. I say days because you need access to a computer and expensive photo editing ...

The photography industry is littered with the skeletons of corporate giants of the past.  Polaroid and Kodac are just two of many.  It seems these extinctions tend to happen when there is a major ...

Or they don't see the actual threat that is at their doorstep.  IMO, they could be acting like the Big Three automakers did in the 1970s.  They made fun of Japanese cars and could not perceive ...

They are getting better every iteration with the DoF software.  I think they will eventually key on lens development to fully solve the problem.  Some technology like liquid lenses will come about ...

It doesn't take that much time to reply.  I take breaks from DPR periodically or post little at other times.  This is just one of my more fertile periods. ;)

Thanks for the link.  I'll read it when I get a free moment.

The low light capability using a sensor that large would be insane.  Then add pixel shifting to it and .....damn!  Who needs medium format or FF cameras any more?

You are whistling past the graveyard. ;) This technology is quite impressive. In six seconds the camera takes sixty photos hand held, tracks the phone movement using its internal gyros, uses this ...

It is if you don't want forums like this to turn into a wasteland and then fade away. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.

I have been reading up on the Night Sight update to the Pixel 3 smartphone from Google. I am somewhat gobsmacked by what this does by combining computational photography with a tiny image sensor. ...
