Will Light Field cameras kill the current “classic” DSLR-Mirrorless?

Share

Panasonic Light Field sensor Patent No. 20140078259. Light Field forum coloured the most important elements.

LIke you know Lytro created quite some buzz with their recent Lytro Illum Light Field Digital Camera (specs here on BHphoto). And we now from patents that Panasonic is working on such a Light Field Camera too (see patent on top for example).

In a new Interview at Thenextweb Lytro’s CEO Jason Rosenthal said that Light Field Cameras will eventually replace current system camera tech. If he is correct we really have to change our way of thinking and habits. It will be a huge change!

P.S.: Play with that image to learn in three seconds what a Ligh Field Camera can do:

First test of the new Tamron 14-150mm MFT lens.

Share

The resolution chart of the Tamron 14-150mm lens.

The newest Micro Four Thirds lens is the Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5,8 zoom lens. And the first site reviewing the lens is the spanish DSLR magazine (google translation here). These are their findigs:

– resolution is high in the center but just average in the corner.
– chromatic aberrations are very low in the center but visible in the corner.
– Vignetting and Distortion are well controlled.

The lens doesn’t deliver a top quality results but the performance is well-balanced and if you consider the price it’s actually a very good lens for the money.

The lens can be purchased in many stores like for example here on [shoplink 47166 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

UPDATE: Next price drop. Now E-M5 for $601.

UPDATED: And here is again a next small price drop on the E-M5 which sets a new low price record. It sells for $601 at Amazon US (Click here). And the bigger brother the E-M1 sells for $1,099 only at [shoplink 47142 ebay]TheGamesArena on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
