I'll take a low-noise, HDR, 5mp image with SuperResolution (err, PixelShift), for 20mp SuperPix!

That's what the Smart Watch is for...

Built my first computer back in 1998. Built several others for friends. By 2001, I had a nice watercooled* AMD setup (this was back before the chipmakers got a good handle on heat management). ...

I dunno. My 10-year-old $800 ATX build is still faster than any sub-$2000 modern laptop. And ten years is forever in computer time....

I could sure use the extra resolution. Can you say 'digital zooming' via cropping? With very little loss in IQ?

Setting aside all of the naysayers here, suppose that the engineers and scientists...

My Panny G85 does in-camera HDR, and it does work to an extent. Shadows are lightened, and highs are toned down a bit, but the resulting image does lose some sharpness. It makes for a better...

I'm waiting for the dual parallel periscope supertele for twice the telephoto reach. Anyone patented that one yet? Just needs a couple prisms on the ends to send the image down both...

I haven't kept up with the tech much lately, but does 5G offer anything more than FPV flight? I mean, will one be able to control the drone flight via cellular signals? If so, could one...

Does the Nikon have "Focus Stacking", or is it just "Focus Bracketing"?

Focus Stacking would imply that it stacks and blends the photos for you, and no post-processing is required.

Focus...

All ya'all got it all wrong!

It's not a stacked sensor, it's stacked sensors! They are offset just enough to provide 5.7k video. 8^D

The action portrayed in the photograph reminds me of the peasant toiling away in Led Zep's ZOSO (IV) album art.... except with the very modern (for the time) electrical instruments.

The black and...

Off on a tangent....

Ok, not a microscope, but if I need a magnifying glass, I just look through my binoculars backwards. Sure, things that are far away are very tiny, but things that are very...

@trainingpants, you seem to have a very poor understanding of the environment, wildlife and evolution.

Humans are pretty much the only species where Earth would benefit from their extinction. IOW, eliminate humans and Earth will improve. Eliminate any other species and Earth takes a hit.

That is...

Even if they do, chances for success are smaller. Re-nests are usually fewer eggs, less energy was available to put into the eggs (so hatchling start life at a disadvantage), parents may abandon...

So, m43 is giving us a 4mp sensor bump about every five years. Seems a little slow, but this is OK if there is a great processor, and we can get good pixel-shift results, focus-stacking and more...

The smaller sensor is also good for landscape where increased depth of field is almost always desirable. This coupled with video makes it a good fit for this type of work.

Yes, one can increase...

I remember learning about this lake in limnology class. It is quite impressive.

Based on the clarity if the ice, I'd say there was no wind/wave action when the ice formed.

All this time, we have been focusing on White Balance, when we should have been focused on Black Balance!

Black Balance Matters!!

AFAIK, black holes are bright from a distance, but black up close. The force of gravity exceeds the speed of light as you near the black hole, so all light is sucked in faster than you can see it....
