Pity it's such an ugly thing - I expect our tastes will have changed by then. Smile

I've just noticed this, and I know it's a bit old, but all of the technology on show there is mind blowing!

EVERYTHING in focus... every frame is a perfect still photography


I feel sick.

The first people to buy this will be the security forces of repressive regimes. Imagine being able to get the mugshot of every dissident in a demonstration at a single click. And with modern passport technology, you will probably be able to automatically generate their names and addresses so you can pay them a visit. Marvellous!

I don't see how they will ever synthesise detail in a photo that is beyond the resolution power of the lens. Perhaps with a massive database of reference images you could paste detail from another photo on some shape that the processor has recognised as being a feather or a common type of butterfly, but then you are not photographing what is actually there, you are creating a design representing the object. The system would fail every time you try to over-magnify something unique, just as "digital zoom" fails today.

You ever watched tv-series "NCIS Los Angeles"? Looks exactly that.

Agree. It's creepy.
