The ccd sensor for digital cameras may be obsolete.

Here is an interesting article I found.

I guess that new M9 maybe worth about 500.00 in about 3 years if this really works, as well as all the other digital cameras.

I wonder if they might make a new film scanner with this technology?

Build it as an integral unt and everything will look like you shot it with the in body flash - plus you might get to blind everyone you shoot🙂

They already build film scanners that work broadly on this principle, but drum scanners are way expensive...

They use laser scanners in archaeology for incredibly detailed 3D images of tunnels, shafts, buildings- you name it.

They said the color of the lazer was better than the ccd but I found it to be flat & boring. Film is much richer in my opinion. I suppose thats where were heading flat & boring images.

Like Mike said: only one possible light source / direction. And no colors either.

Interesting pointer though. Thanks.

As anyone who saw TRON knows, it is a slippery slope from "beam imaging" to being accidentally transported into a computer world run by an angry AI with an 8 bit graphics card. And who wants that?
