They need to make it more intuitive that just taking video .. as in .. it should take the video the moment the camera is set up and the finger is on the button. Then when the user presses the button, the "photo" (chosen frame) gets taken .. however within the camera preceding frames are also there as well as a few frames taken right after the photo was taken. One of the advantages of this is that the camera can use a few of the preceding and post frames to enhance the chosen frame's dynamic range.

--Exposure time.
No matter how advanced technology becomes you need the same exposure time to get flowing effect of river, creamy waves, sunset sky etc. This kind of technology might aid high speed photography but will never replace the traditional cameras when fine tuning of exposure or shutter speed is required.]]>Jul 11th 2010 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Hey!

Not if you blend frames. Plus, that only applies to the few shots that are aided with motion.

You will only have to take a small clip of everything that surrounds you and then do the "cropping" at home...it takes about the same time with taking multiple photos of various spots around you.

It might be good, but that prototype is certainly huge and unpractical. I thought that the future is about portability and more power...A touch zoom slider is not practical either because if you touch it by accident you simply loose your zoom setting.... ]]>Jul 12th 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Sure it can.

1. Just because it has a large zoom range does not mean it is good. The best shots will always be on a a prime lens and generally, the larger range the lens has, the poorer quality of picture you'll get out of it.

2. "Macro" isn't a focal length, you can shoot macro at 20mm or 1,000mm.

3. Existing cameras already beat the focal range of this. Canon has one themselves of 28-560mm and Fujifilm has a 24-720mm.]]>Jul 10th 2010 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/

Also, to make a lens capable of "macro" (lets assume 24mm equivalent) to 500mm in a body that size you'd need a teeny tiny sensor, and probably end up with a less than desirable aperture. Plus, in the original "wonder camera" article, I'm sure it said macro to 5000mm, not to 500mm?! Which would just exacerbate the issues...

A teeny tiny sensors may have overcome the ISO noise issues in 20 years, but you can't get past the fact that a teeny tiny sensor provides very little bokeh. I don't want everything in focus, I bought my DSLR so I could seperate my subject from the background by way of some bokeh.

While electronics have come a huge way in the past 20 years. Lens' have improved at a far far less rapid rate. Some people still use 10 year old primes on their new full frame bodies (like a D700) and get results almost as good as todays cutting edge primes. I just think the lens design will hold this device back...]]>Jul 11th 2010 3:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/
You make great points and I dont disagree.. i still believe a unit like this would sell like hotcakes to those that will prefer an all in one unit with a great focal range.
Personally Ill stick with my slr and prime lenses to be sure but that doesnt mean that grabbing a unit like this wouldnt have its own benefit..
And thats all I was trying to say to begin with really.. no need to ocercomplicate it any more than that since this is more concept than reality we're talking about.. ]]>Jul 11th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Jul 10th 2010 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Jul 10th 2010 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Jul 10th 2010 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/Jul 10th 2010 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/switched-on-photography-is-dead-long-live-photos/
