DailyDirt: Digital Cameras From The Future
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
The market for digital cameras has been undergoing some significant changes in recent years. Instead of more megapixels, consumers are now chasing higher and higher ISO numbers. But pretty soon, it looks like cameras will be able to handle some computationally-intense operations and offer some amazing image processing functions. Here are some quick links to some existing and upcoming cool cameras.- The Lytro camera is getting a lot of recent publicity over its after-shooting-focus function. But some of the examples of it seem a lot like Photoshop magic.... [url]
- The Stanford Frankencamera combines common digital camera hardware with some software tricks to create a "camera 2.0" gadget. When will cameras (without a phone function) be sold with a monthly wireless plan? [url]
- The first plenoptic camera has been on the market for a little while now, sold by Raytrix. Uh, $30,000 still sounds like a bit much for a 3 megapixel camera... [url]

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.
