I like this concept of a minimal core camera which has a huge sensor, the logic board, a battery compartment, and then mounting points for accessories to customize it to the use case.<p>Lack of in body image stabilization is difficult, though. It makes sense for a minimum size camera but IBIS is amazing when it’s working well.
I looked into buying a compact full-frame camera a couple years ago (the Sony a7c2), and came to the conclusion that the size and weight of lenses matters more than the camera body. So personally I don’t really see the point of making a camera body this small if you have to sacrifice on things like IBIS, an EVF, physical controls, and heat dissipation/recording limits.<p>Are there any particular use cases where a camera this small really offers a significant benefit? Perhaps street photography when paired with certain compact lenses?
I'm surprised there aren't Android Cameras? At a reasonable-ish price?<p>Like a Pixel 6a is $249 new right now.<p>So, where's that same caliber of hardware, but as a camera-first?
Samsung made one<p><a href="https://www.classiccameradatabase.com/blog/the-mirrorless-camera-that-runs-android" rel="nofollow">https://www.classiccameradatabase.com/blog/the-mirrorless-ca...</a>
Same. Mobile phones have excellent image processing, displays, and interfaces, but small optics and sensors. Dedicated cameras have big optics and sensors, but bad/limited image processing, displays, and interfaces.
I would imagine you'd need at least FP16, if not a full FP32, to get the ultimate camera.
Cool looking camera, but OMG this website is HORRID. Brings my entire computer to a crawl, barely can scroll the article at all.
Odd to have a modern camera released without photo signing
The standard needs a bit more baking before it's quite ready IMO<p><a href="https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1102-C2PA-and-Pixel-Glitter-Milk.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1102-C...</a><p><a href="https://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1077-Google-Pixel-10-and-Massive-C2PA-Failures.html" rel="nofollow">https://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1077-Googl...</a><p><a href="https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1037-C2PA-and-Untrusted-Certificates.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1037-C...</a><p><a href="https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/android-c2pa.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/android-c2pa.html</a>
Hell it doesn't even have IBIS. I suppose they have to cut corners somewhere for the size constraint.
Yeah, there are plenty of modern cameras that don't have it, but it would still be nice for Sigma to join the other camera manufacturers that are supporting C2PA.
there's no threat model for this (mass-media image authenticity verification) that attestation solves. i mean, i know people will say that there is, but they're all wrong haha.
