When I saw the title of this article, I was thinking it would be about pinhole cameras.

This tech looks cool. I wonder who is funding the research? I'd think if it was military, they would not...

One problem is that our emotions and feelings become jaded, or de-sensitized, when bombarded constantly with the same types of drama. As entertainment avenues become ever increasing, content...

Some research has indicated that motion sickness tends to be more prevalent in females. This could possibly be attributable to levels of various hormones that have evolved with the sexes over...

IMO, entertainment avoids total perfection because total perfection soon becomes boring. Perfection, or the idea of it, is often the ultimate destination, but the entertainment (e.g. - the movie,...

I couldn't care less about 8k Tv's.

What I am really waiting for, though, is Panasonic's 8k photo mode. I can really use something like that.

There are a number of apps that will geotag your photos for you, regardless of camera (as long as your camera can record date/time), if you have another GPS with you (such as built into every...

I'm sure they don't do 4k or 1080/60p due to heat issues. To be waterproof is the same as having a lit if insulation = poor heatsinking. If they had the R&D, they could build a metal heatsink...

Ref: loss if 3.5mm....i have several wireless (bluetooth) headphones. They work, and have been flawless at pairing. However, wired headphones still sound a lot better than any wireless I've...

I have several wireless headphones. But the sound quality is still better with the wired units. My wireless ones have been relegated to the workshop or when I'm outside working, where wires might...

G85 for me....whichever group it goes in.

Best features in this group.
Best value in the next group up.

Curious about the Ricoh R. If they can weatherproof it enough, and secure it enough, might make a good security camera for out in the yard. Especially if they can do PoE.

Security cameras in...

Where's my sombrero?

I know someone who would be interested in thermal-imaging setup for non-human surveillance. They are involved in wildlife research.

DJI has a drone with 10kg capacity. They are marketing it for agricultural spraying of fields. $15k through established vendors, or $5800 on Alibaba (Chinese amazon).

As far as zooming via cropping, I'd think you'd need a wide-angle lens and longer focal point to make sure everything is in focus, as well as smaller aperture when possible. Especially on the...

I suspect they will retain the m43 line, along with R&D. Perhaps they would simplify that line, with an entry-level, a mid-level, an upscale stills (GX8), and an upscale video-centric (GH5).

I...

35mm should do it. As sensors continue to improve, I will continue to get better zoom via cropping (although focal points could become an issue....come on, focus-stacking!).

Enough about all of this MF stuff! What's happening in the Large Format world?

Read it on an audiophile forum about a decade ago...

I would be surprised if they WEREN'T working on 8k.

Is the m43 sensor too small to support 33MP? If it truly is, then maybe they will do the trick with the hi-res handheld shot.

When they...
