This is news: A P&S Noctilux !

VERY cool idea! There are so many interesting photo gear-related ideas floating around these days: curved and organic sensors, hdr-type software approaches, improvements in EVF design, computer-aided lens designs... and on and on. The coming years are going to be fun to watch, camera & lens design wise.
 
I need to see more before I pass judgement.

In some shots the OOF areas look like a filter (just like the fake tilt shift filters) and some shots it looks more convincing.

Interesting idea though.
 
very cool and so tempted to get one if not only my work is an iphone organization only.
curious to see what the iphone 7 new camera features will be and who knows, by later this year that Huawei P9 will be cheaper
 
I find the effect gets boring very quickly, after 4 pictures ... at least for me:rolleyes:.
The Q also has a built in software tool called miniaturization. You can dial in the zone that should be sharp and the in-camera software blurs the fore- and background. I take it there is a close relationship between these programs. It's a gimmick. I never bothered to explore it further after the first time I found it somewhere in the menu and tried the effect.

Good old fast lens wide open: narrow focus and "real bokeh" there you go:D.
 
The problem with using a two-camera depth sensing approach is that in real-world shooting (especially with foliage and such) the algorithm tends to be imprecise at best and bizarre at worst.

In a closed environment, with close-up photos it works well, but that's hardly how I use my Noctilux. Still cool, though.
