Interesting new camera technology

[Jamie Pillers]

I just finished reading about a new camera technology that has the potential to continue the push of digital photography away from the current striving for the next great body & lenses, like the iPhone is doing. Its called the Light L16 camera. Here's the link at dpreview: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/4607499406/light-l16-packs-16-cameras-into-a-single-portable-body

It seems to me that devices like this might have the potential to free digital photographers from chasing the latest camera and lens gear and instead leaving us free to spend all our energy searching out subject matter. Maybe? Thoughts?

Not really new technology and topic. 🙂

It looks like one day we will have a camera that uses the eye of a fly, so that you will not only get all the focal lengths, focus points, but also a 360 vision. At this point I would think, on the internet it will be slammed for not travelling in time.
BTW, I've just bought a pinhole camera and a Holga. When I grow up I'll start with the wet collodion. 😀

Military drones are equipped with very similar cameras matrix solution.
I'm getting itchy about lyth printing.

Looks interesting enough to take a gamble on. What resonated with me was one of the videos which echoed Polaroid's SX-70 introduction video with the "taking the barriers out of photography" message, and combination of extreme ease of use along with high technology to achieve good results.

The SX-70 certainly does that for me; perhaps this will too. Be nice to see another paradigm shifter happen after 43 years. dAt any rate, $1300 for a photographic novelty that may or may not go the distance isn't bank-breaking money.

I'll report on it if/when I receive it next summer. 🙂

My WWII Trivision Camera uses "eye of a fly" concept, as developed by Douglas Winnek.
