I continue to wonder how phone accessory lens manufacturers will survive the multiple lens era.

The last three overseas holidays I've been on I've only taken my HTC U11 (briefly the best camera, not so much nowadays) and I've been delighted with the results, even in difficult conditions. I...

Leica was intimately involved with development of the triple lens camera in the Huawei P20 pro. It wasnt just a branding exercise.

My experience with A4 printers is: Epson printheads clog regularly, HP and Canon do not. I once owned an A3+ HP printer. Prints were great but with frequent automatic cleaning cycles the ink cost...

They have infringed other patents without being on solid ground.

It might be obvious now but not so much before the idea was patented. The same applies to huge numbers of patents.

Really? The iPhone X has Sony sensors

Or south of the equator

It's more likely the pre-processing that applies noise reduction and sharpening levels rather than jpeg conversion. Yes, it would be good to have some control over that. My phone can take RAW shots...

It's called xenophobia, specifically chinaphobia. Edward Snowdon has shown that much of the serious spying is carried out by Americans.

If you buy a phone exclusively for the camera then yes, they are expensive. Have you tried making a phone or video call on a DSLR or tried to access the internet on one?

Beats me how accessory lenses work with dual lens smartphones

I would like to know more about smartphone lens design as well. I'm constantly amazed that such a small thing can resolve incredibly fine details and do so without obvious distortion. Some have...

Kodak colour photo paper is in my experience, the worst there is. I've got wedding photos from 35 years ago, stored in an album mind you and they are faded as hell. Extralife it's not! Their inkjet...

It's clear to me that highlights in the digital images tend to be blown out in comparison with the film images. I'm not just talking about the images of the model in front of the window either but...

That is somewhat true. Having used a similar quality smartphone camera exclusively for a recent three-week tour of Greece I felt that the only limitation was the lack of or limited focal length...

If, as someone suggested the bitcoin miner is rated at 1.5 KWh then, where I live in Australia, it would consume $3200 worth of electricity per year running continuously.

I've purchased four crowdfunded products. One was as you say, duff, the rest were pretty good to very good. One has even been taken up by a major global industry.

I think they are pretty good ideas. We have a tradition of giving homemade gifts at Christmas. Some of these ideas fill the bill nicely.
