DailyDirt: Say Cheese... All The Time

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Cameras are everywhere now. That's not really a surprise to anyone. Camera technology has vastly improved and gotten a lot cheaper, and sharing and storing photos is incredibly easy and cheap, too. So what's left for cameras to do? Plenty. There are some innovative new kinds of cameras, like the Lytro which lets you re-focus shots after you've taken them (instead of before). We've also pointed out lensless cameras, single pixel cameras, plenoptic cameras, panoramic cameras... and there seems to be no shortage of cameras and camera accessories on the way. After you've finished checking out those links, take a look at our Daily Deals for cool gadgets and other awesome stuff.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    That L16 looks cool. But it saves all the data in a single photo? Can a user pull out just certain shots? Or is it all combined forever?

    First I wanted to reply with a " you are crazy if you think the military is that stupid" but then I remembered this:

    Just to put this into perspective... They are worth 320 times their weight in gold (16grams).
