I wonder why this great tech doesn't trickle down to real cameras?
There are great shots taken with phones nowadays. Fantastic shots.
It's truly amazing what a tiny sensor size and a rubbish lens (with no cover when it's in your pocket) can do, when combined with a beefy CPU and good software.
So why doesn't this tech ever get transplanted into real cameras? The results would, I imagine, be astounding.
A large sensor (more than 1 inch, often much more), real glass. About the same pixel count.
Add the CPU and software smarts of a phone, and I'll buy one of those.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
