What are f-stops vs. Nikon P900 on same FL? I guess than if P900's reach is enough for you then P900 will provide faster aperture than P1000...

Well it is safer because it doesn't do what we wish -- an app can use only things which are exposed via extremely narrow API.

Yes, how could I forget it too (cause I'm a stupid). So it makes two lenses. Still too low count for claim that Olympus isn't a lens manufacturer.

In some cameras large sensor itself accounts for half the cost.
Lithium is expensive. Gold or some other metals are too, etc. etc.
These components are increasingly complex systems themselves;

Their software was written by Microsoft.
Camera hardware, which determines image quality, thankfully, was not.
I guess only the first start of the app is slow, others are fast.

What is the most similar item to (recent) Iphone camera module that is accessible to hobbyists? (e.g. Raspberry Pi).

I do not think that Apple grinds low level workers more than everyone else. Probably they have discounts from the suppliers because they buy in large volumes.
I think solution would be to give...

They should rather add more features to cameras rather than just 10% better high ISO, better fps and larger battery.

Why Apple stores workers are entitled to having higher living standards than SE Asian workers actually assembling Apple products? Why are they entitled to a car? And not residents of...

You have mistaken sensitivity for selectivity. Sensitive OSPDAF system requires selective pixels -- which would also mean less sensitive pixels. No, because they are all imaging pixels whereas for ...

As I know, one of Sigma patents lists lens which is almost identical to commercial M. Zuiko 25/1.8. I haven't found any other Sigma patents for Olympus branded lenses.

So have you investigated possibility of using this for AF/depth maps and conclude it's useless or rather you saw some of simplifications in my very short text and offer me to read just for this? Th ...

Oh, the first world citizens being unable to buy an extra car and yoga classes are 'starving' now.

Huh people were telling me that small sensors and lenses are uber cheap.
Per unit of area, this costs much more than Sony A9 (which is the only FF stacked BSI sensor, for now).

@vadims
Number of data channels per se doesn't say much. USB 3.0 has more than USB 2.0 but it's backwards compatible.
Also the 'translation' might be plain and simple wrapping/unwrapping.
It's not...

I apologize for the inconvenience. What did I got wrong? It seems to me that it isn't difficult to remove/shave AA filter. IIRC Sony reps said once that the first A7R doesn't have PDAF because it ...

It's somewhat unfair to compare A7R2 to 5D4. The cameras bodies are priced similarly but the Canon has FSI sensor and fabbed by much older process. Even Sony A7M2 has sensor with smaller feature ...

a NEW method -- by definition -- is different from existing methods. That wasn't intended to be an explanation of DFD AF. I love computation photography. But e.g. Dual pixel AF has other uses ...

Not really. This 'anyone' excludes individuals. This 'anyone' excludes companies wishing to make E-mount camera bodies. This 'anyone' excludes these who Sony just happen to dislike. Stop lying. And ...

US2008112064 seems to be 14-35 f/2. I wasn't able to find patent for 35-100.
