Design patents (appearance) are relatively hard to defend, compared to fundamental patents on operational details. Other than being round (predating Pythagoras), the appearance is quite...

It the drone were a terrorist threat, would you really want to knock it down over a crowd of people larger than 95% of American cities? The Air Force is capable of downing civilian aircraft, but...

Turn in a propellor, all or in part, and be paid a bounty. That works only as long as the cost of spare propellors is greater than the bounty. Microsoft offered a reward to programmers who found...

Non-Disclosure Agreement?

Jamming GPS is way above their pay grade. That technology is highly restricted.

Drones fly by image recognition too. Jamming the WiFi controlling signal will cause the drone to return home. A...

The triangular structure is probably a magazine to hold nets, which are fired at the drone to entangle it.

The GPS location of the drone is continuously transmitted to the controller, and can be recorded along with the video with a cell phone. The video is relayed to the Cloud, where it can't be...

I thought Hasselblad discontinued the X1D, at least the 50 MP version. Are we waiting for 100 MP?

Bluetooth has the annoying tendency to drop the connection. There is also a 0.2 second delay in most applications. The signal is also interrupted by nearly any solid object, even a book, in the...

The first thing I noticed is that there is no Velcro. The top flap has an honest buckle (quick-connect) - no ripping noise, no sticking to other things. There is enough vertical space for a 70-200...

The Loxia 25/2.4 is even better than the Batis 25/2, and half the size (but heavier), if you don't mind cranking the lens barrel. World-class cameras deserve world-class lenses. If you're on a...

Sony is taking optics and imaging very seriously, and finding partners which assist in that endeavor. The complacency of Canon and Nikon can't be overstated. They watched Sony grow the professional...

Diffraction is always with us. Whether its effects are significant depends on the overall optical quality and resolution. Once upon a time, when film was the only medium of choice, lenses were...

APS-C? Seems like a waste of time ;)

Hair products.

I buy lenses (and other gear) which are as good as I can afford. I learned a long time ago that lenses like a Summitar are one-trick ponies (as long as it doesn't involve walking, jumping or...

LensRentals is in the business of buying and renting out lenses. The are not a testing agency for Sony, nor a marketing schill.

If you squint, every photo looks as good as another.

Image stabilization takes care of camera shake, and other quick but low amplitude disturbances. A gimbal smooths out large, relatively slow and occasionally intentional motions. Still photography...

Yup, and within a week every gang-banger would have a pink pistol or rifle. There are already instances where real guns have red paint on the muzzle. If we didn't have politicians to come up with...
