A DSLR-Quality Camera That Fits In Your Pocket

Postby sidd finch » Thu Oct 08, 2015 10:20 am

From the "I cannot believe this could be done file...." comes a DSLR-Quality Camera That Fits In Your Pocket.

Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup Light is doing just that with the L16. Announced on Wednesday, the L16 is a DSLR-quality camera that fits in your pocket and is slightly more reasonably priced than some comparable cameras.

The L16 has 16 camera lens modules on the front. The software on the device combines all those images together to achieve a single image that’s up to 52 megapixels. The camera will have strong low-light performance, depth of field control and low image noise. The L16 will also have 25-150mm optical zoom using what’s called folded optics, which is a method of bending light to make the camera more compact.

The camera will need a lot of processing power to handle all that data that it’s bundling together into one image. That’s why the camera will come equipped with the Snapdragon 820

I saw this on PeaPixel and looks very promising.

I think that the no video would be a deal breaker for me. Not even sure how a camera like that would even record video with so many multiple lenses. I did read that the camera is similar to the Lytros camera in that you can adjust the DOF after you have taken the picture.

I'll stick with my little GoPro... warts and all :)
