My first digital camera was a Casio Exilim EX-S1 card camera. I think I bought two after my now-wife lost the first.

At only 11mm thick, and just slightly larger than a credit card in x and y, it...

"...which allows for movements of +/- 3° which, according to Vivo, is three times the angle of more conventional systems."

This claim is correct. Normal lens shift VCMs allow up to 1° of...

Any phone manufacturer can buy this technology from Nidec Sankyo. They showed a mobile phone unit at CES in 2019.

Very nice indeed! It's just a bit of a shame they didn't provide a thermal pad on the back to allow users to put a TE cooler on there for astrophotography.

That was supposed to mean, one that can sustain itself WITHOUT its retail partners having their doors open.

The emphasis is on "self".

It has very bad "petal flare" in the images with the sun in the field of view. This is caused by diffraction off the image sensor bouncing back down off the IR cut filter.

A 1-inch sensor doesn't make for a good action camera. The longer focus length means that near focus is a long way out. For some users that may be fine. For traditional action use cases, not so...

@AXYZE, I can't keep up with Samsung's numbering. It was one of the new phones that wasn't the S series. I did a quick Google and thought it was the P20 Pro.

I saw and tested the phone at CES. I'm...

Samsung already has a micro gimbal in the P20 Pro, I think it is. They had it on show at CES.

I can see how using edges from the NIR to fuse with the YUV image could improve edges in low light (there will be a high correlation between vis and NIR edges in real-world scenes), but in non...

The new crop of GoPro cameras can and do correct for electronic rolling shutter effects resulting from the camera motion (not object motion).

It's briefly discussed at the end of this GoPro...

NASA frequently uses GoPro cameras in space.

They could probably use some help with protocols from JAXA to make sure they put the SD card in before a spacewalk though! As demonstrated in this...

It's a GoPro, not a mirrorless camera.

The term "Bullet Time" originates with The Matrix, but technique was developed by Tim Macmillan, starting with his student work in the early '80s at Bath University.

Incidentally, he recently...
