Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.

Or maybe even a 1/1.7" sensor module?

Put that way, it does make a little more sense. I think that as cinema-type cameras get smaller and more affordable (like the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera or even the Panasonic GH4) it's a...

I fail to see the point, to be honest. I thought the whole "lenses for iPhones" thing defeated the purpose of a smartphone, but this takes the cake. At this point you might as well spend the money...

This is actually rather intriguing. I'd like to see where this goes, considering what people have already managed to do with the Raspberry Pi.

By "real camera" I mean a device that is intended to be a camera (take photos and/or videos) and nothing else. ;)

Smartphones contain cameras but their purpose isn't to be a camera first (although...

Er, "be a real camera?"

This lens is indeed surprisingly good. Sure, it's not going to make a smartphone produce DSLR-quality photos but the results are better than most of the garbage floating around in the world of lens...

This looks really interesting. Lytro should have been focused on this from the beginning. Thankfully they've managed to adjust their focus after the fact.

I'm not funny.

Actually, wait...if you could combine one of these with one of those weird lens-camera modules (like the Olympus Air A01 or one of those Sony things that dropped off the face of the earth)...why,...

Well, that was quick.

Nah, that'll never work.

So it's basically a Ricoh GXR body that only works with smartphones. Why not just get a DSLR at this point?

Well, given the existence of microSD adapters for cameras that use regular SDHC/XC cards, I can think of a few niche situations where a professional could use something like this (perhaps someone...

This is a bridge camera? I thought it was a video camera that did stills, and I was baffled by all the reviews that treated it as a strictly stills camera. For its price, though, I'd still rather...

Great, another Lomography lens that has absolutely no reason to exist, but does because people buy them for whatever reason. This is basically Instagram for Canon and Nikon DSLRs.

Yep, that's the one I was looking at using.

Time to get a mass download utility and get whatever I have on Flickr that isn't anywhere else (mostly older stuff from before I became professional, but that I'd still like to keep)...just in case.

Barney: I was kidding about what an ISO 6,553,600 image would look like (it would look like that). ;)

What I meant to say was that it'd literally be one pink block, one black block, one red block, one blue block, one green block...and so on, but just nine large blocks total. :P
