There are some photographers who are just pressing a button. And then there are the others who see the world in a very different way...

The article links have been flowing in to me on this new technology announcement. I am not sure what to make of it all yet Head Scratch

Might as well give an art director ten light bulbs to put in one light.. too much choice for everything it seems.
Unfortunately or fortunately.... just another tool for that imaging toolbox.
I think the likes of you and me, know where we want to focus...

What next ? Anti gravity tripods... Hope so.

Haha, good one. Pounding Laughter I would prefer an invisible tripod instead.

Yeah, I am not sure what to make of it as I said. It really just sounds like a souped up version of a point and shoot camera. I guess though you could afford to be a bit off on focus point, making for faster shooting and less lost shots out of focus that need to be deleted.

Occasionally I thought about such a thing long before. It happens always when one of my shots doesn't have the proper focus or DOF. But where ends the real photography then? Head Scratch Will it end with technolpgy like that? Some say photography ended with PS CS5.  Thumbs Down Not for me, I like it.  Two Thumbs Up

After reading the first link, it looks interesting/expensive. As to technology ending photography, some would argue that train left the station with the change from 8x10 contact prints to enlargements ;-)
