In Ross’s giant landscapes, you can mak out the woodgrains on barn shingles thousand of feet away, and see mountain trails seven miles off. The pictures seem to be made not of pixels but of vision itself.
The new R2, a video camera made by the same guy, captures nine gigabytes of data per minute. It takes 360º of video.
This is why I’ll never be able to buy a camera. There are just too many out there to choose from, and as soon as I manage to get close to settling on one, a sweet new one comes out. (Or in this case, gets announced, there isn’t even a release date yet.)
But the Panasonic/Leica cameras have struck my fancy, and now that they’re coming out with an SLR, it’s been put right up at the top of my list. I don’t know how much it’s going to cost, but I sure do know that I want it more then any other camera out there.
I want one, but those goddamn prices…
Now, and this is the part that will really rock your world, if you made a print of the entire image at the resolution of the crop above [the image is zoomed way in], it would be 5 feet wide and 3 1/2 feet tall. When you consider I took the above shot handheld through a dirty window and at f/4.5, that’s just amazing.
12mp. Nice looking camera, but a bit cher at $3,300.
I’m on the lookout for a nice camera, I’ve missed having one since I left for college. I can’t decide between compact and full featured – I’ve always wanted an SLR, and the things are finally coming into the sub $1000 price range. I could even afford one – I’m liking the nikon d50.
The thing about an SLR is that it’s big. I wouldn’t want to carry it everywhere with me – but where I did carry it, it would serve me better then a compact. But I don’t know how much advantage the compact would give me – I don’t carry my cellphone with me often, and it’s smaller and lighter then a camera would be. So things really come down to price, you can get a real good point and shoot for $400, when the cheapest dSLR costs double.
Camera, Wifi, and GPS. Three great tastes that go great together.
I agree.
Wow, camera phone + foot + software lets you play a soccer shootout by mock kicking a ball for the camera! Sweet, I really want a high tech phone to be able to play with stuff like this.
As it says, cool enclosure for a camera to be outdoors. Where is the footage of his house getting built? I’ve always wanted to do this in conjunction with building my own little cabin up north, and also have it hooked up to a motion detector and capture all the action in my front yard.
