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.

Ideas are cheap, Jamie, this is a product ! Very cool. All my fast lenses seem too large now.

They may be cheap now, but we're going to end up spending all our $$ on them sooner than later. 😛

I don't know but I really like the colors and bokeh?! Looks darn well executed.

Wow. Insane. Wish it were on an iPhone, though. Not sure i could justify switching.

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

Very Cool...
but I Imagine it's just a matter of Time
before we use a Chip in our 'Eye' to Photograph

Not too far away ..... 🙂

digital contact lenses

And lets not forget also Helen, some here with a chip on their shoulder to complain about it!

I find the effect gets boring very quickly, after 4 pictures ... at least for me🙄.
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😀.

That shot of the M4-P is insane - insanely beautiful camera

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.

Maybe they will let me use such a phone in Wetzlar this summer.

And here's ANOTHER new tech idea!

The 7 has been rumored to also use dual lenses to fake out of focus.

Sadly, only the 7 "plus" is rumored to have dual cameras. 😡

As someone who already feels the 6 is too big and was eyeing the new smaller SE, I'm going to very disappointed with Apple if this is indeed the case. Maybe finally the impetus for me to switch even though I've used nearly every iPhone since it came out.
