We have come full circle!
You know, one sensor with a rotating lens selector might actually make sense?
I’ve been dreaming of that for like 10 years but nah, we only get many shitty sensors instead.
Jokes aside, camera arrays are actually an excellent way to improve image capture while maintaining a small form factor. There’s a reason many bugs have many eyes. It’s more reliant of software to resolve the image, but it allows more information to come in without increasing the lens size.
Bugs don’t have much “software” going on, and the reason for many lenses is only superficially similar. On phones you want different lenses to do different things, while the bug has different lenses to look into different directions without all the volume “between” eyes also needing to be lens (I think).
And like modern reproductions of cassette players, I would expect this to be way shittier than the originals
Why do phones have so many cameras? What for?
Because variable-zoom isn’t possible at the thickness we tolerate in phones, so they need to add multiple fixed-zoom cameras
I have no idea either. The camera on any smart phone I’ve ever had is a wasted feature. I would rather have a faster processor or more memory or better battery. So I always try to buy the phone with the worst camera to save money.
I guess the question now is why does an ultra slim camera have a phone?
putting an extra camera increased sales?
why lets add all the cameras then for infinite sales!
Just cover the whole phone in cameras. Or maybe if instead of adding more cameras, you could just put one really big camera on the phone.
In fact, get rid of all the other features so that there’s just a teeny tiny screen to see what your photo looks like and a button to take a photo, leaving more space either for one giant camera or tens of small cameras.
i think we should add a couple of folds for good measure
Sounds like you need the Quintippio shaver!
This is funky funny
