It is putting a lot of pressure on lower-income people and families.

With Canon’s strong foothold — or should that be increasing stranglehold — on the mirrorless market, you can easily argue it is becoming the Microsoft of the camera world. Microsoft is ubiquitous in the world of personal computing with its software products…
Electronics engineer Guarav Singh has 3D-printed a camera chassis that’s designed to work with interchangeable lenses and sensors.
The open-source industrial-grade camera is split across three boards, and it is here the interesting design allows for modularity.
A dual-shutter vibration-sensing system developed by Carnegie Mellion University (CMU) researchers uses standard, ordinary cameras to see sound vibrations with such precision that it can reconstruct the music made by a single instrument out of a band.
The researchers say that even the best and most high-powered microphones can’t eliminate nearby sounds or ambient noises that might…
