Here's what's new for March 2008. The latest, last! These advanced technologies are available now or by late 2008. This provides a look over the horizon to where things seem to be moving. As one has a limited budget, knowing what's coming might influence some buying decisions and anyway, makes ones creative juices flow!
Let's hear what interests you and PM me with any advances you think are likely to be significant.
Casio's EX-F1 60 frames per second burst, 1200fps video!
The EX-F1 is a totally new type of digital camera that delivers speed and digital functions never before available! This new concept in digital cameras lets you shoot photographs that capture every moment of a moving subject, and movies that open up a whole new world invisible to the naked eye.
Ultra-high speed burst shooting captures 60 still images per second
High speed movie recording at up to 1200 fps
Something worth seeing for about $999 released in March 28th for the Japanese. Not sure about the USA or Europe! I'd love to have one!
"6 million effective pixel 1/1.8 type CMOS sensor, a focal length equivalent to approximately 36 to 432 mm (35 mm equivalent size) / F2.7-4.6 zoom lens with a 12X optical lens to form a digital camera. Full-resolution 60 / s continuous shooting performance and the full 60 fps in response to record high-definition video. Also, up to 1,200 fps prepare for the high-speed video photography features."
Users can record images not just at the instant they press the shutter button, but before!
Continuously recording at up to 60 images per second, a maximum of 60 images can be saved in the camera’s own buffer memory even before the shutter button is depressed. Even if users press the shutter a little late, they will still be able to catch that vital moment.
Think about this with Photoacute .
PhotoAcute Studio produces an image from a sequence of continuous photographs, thus acquiring more graphic information than it is available from a single photograph. Using sophisticated algorithms it combines individual frames to produce one high-resolution image.
Unlike the digital zooming and image sharpening, resultant photographs produced by PhotoAcute Studio do really have higher spatial resolution. Small, thin and far away objects, traceries, textures and inscriptions become recognizable.
Add up those 60 files and increase the resolution and decrease noise. We'll just have to see how useful it is. For sure the rapid frame rate will create many new opportunities to dissect time!
