Digital cameras are great — the technology they are built upon is remarkable, underpinned by remarkably sophisticated designs. Not only that, but the pictures they acquire are of such astonishing quality that they make anything that went before pale in comparison. So why then do digital cameras have such (relatively) short lifespans compared to film cameras?

By definition, ‘fixed-lens’ cameras aren’t designed to have their lenses removed. But that didn’t stop photographer Ronaldo Carvalho from taking apart an old Olympus Trip 35 camera to adapt its 40mm F2.8 lens to his Canon EOS R6 camera.
As shared in the above video…
NVIDIA’s Instant NeRF is a neural rendering model that can produce a 3D scene from 2D data inputs in seconds and can render images of that scene in milliseconds.
The process is known as inverse rendering and allows AI to approximate how light behaves in the real…

Improving the performance of smartphone cameras often feels like approaching the end of an exponential curve: it can be done, but improvements are becoming less noticeable. Glass Imaging wants to change that through the novel use of anamorphic lenses.
Smartphone camera development has felt as though it is peaking because the ways to improve imaging generally require making a sensor…
