Is 1000fps the next big thing, though? Probably not. (Never heard of the above pocket camera, for example)

- tommyd 11y agoI wonder if there are interesting applications of being able to capture images at this kind of speed at high resolution. For example, using image analysis between frames to get some kind of depth map, based on subtle differences between each frame due to slight hand movements.
- blincoln 11y agoI was thinking along the same lines. Another specific example would be single-shot HDR or true post-shot-adjustable exposure. E.g. if the optimum exposure for a conventional camera is 1/60th of a second, then instead capture 10-20 exposures whose total time adds up to 1/60th of a second, and sum various numbers of the exposures in software. Right now that's not practical because DSLRs don't have the hardware capacity to pull that much data off of the sensor and store it quickly enough. Seems like the additional data would also be very useful for removing motion blur, automatically removing moving objects from e.g. architectural/landscape shots, etc.
- kalleboo 11y agoThe article talks about these sensors not being used for photo or video but rather as vision sensors for cars, robots, etc
- dharma1 11y agoNext big thing? Nah. But it's pretty useful in industrial applications. And videographers would definitely take it. Consumers too probably - a lot of mobile phones do limited slo-mo today Sony is dominating in many different areas in image sensors - high framerates is just one of them. There's a reason they have 40% of the market
