Due to physical limitations, cameras can only become so small before they simply cannot shrink anymore. But a new lensless camera design could change that.
Researchers have also been steadily moving towards a computational approach rather than on that relies on optics being a set distance from the image sensor in order to focus light upon it.

A camera crew recently was given access to Sigma’s new headquarters in Kanagawa, Japan which reveals a complex filled with zen-like spaces and a “cellar” of lenses displayed like bottles of fine wine.
With its wide-open design concept, a stairwell encased…
Last month, Sigma opened the doors on its new headquarters in Japan’s Kanagawa prefecture. The facility isn’t available to the public, but YouTube channel Gizmomo Freaks managed to get an inside look at the four-story building to show off the company’s new…

Photographer Bobby Wummer captured the moment a gator took a nibble on his GoPro camera, which was fortunately on the end of a 12-foot extension pole, keeping Wummer far away from the predator’s teeth.
Wummer, who describes himself as a self-taught wildlife and…
A pair of Stanford University astrophysicists have proposed a new way to use gravitational lensing that would be up to 1,000 times more precise than current methods. The hope is to use the concept to take better photos of distant planets.
While astronomers have…
Did Leica leak its plans to release a medium format mirrorless camera? It sure looks like it
May 3, 2022
Could Leica be working on a new medium format mirrorless camera? We don’t know for sure, but a recent video from the company does suggest the company has, at the very least, been prototyping such a camera.
Earlier this year, when Leica showed off its new M11 camera in its launch video, embedded above, a few eagle-eyed viewers noticed that there were three spots in the company’s camera roadmap…
Meta’s investment in virtual and augmented realities (VR and AR) is pushing forward and a new report says the company is planning to release four headsets in the next two years.

Hubble recently celebrated 32 years of imaging the sky, which has resulted in over 1.4 million observations. Physicist Casey Handmer combined those observations into a single image to see how much of the sky Hubble had actually captured.
Handmer explains that Hubble’s field of view is 202 arc seconds, and so about 3.2 million observations would be enough to cover the sky. Since Hubble…
