Google's computational photo/video expertise is so far ahead of any traditional camera manufacturer..
I wish they would release a prosumer Android camera with a 1"+ sensor, perhaps m43 mount, 10bit video and large bitrates - with all of their computational photo goodies.
- nicpottier 9y agoRight, can you imagine a Sony RX100 with the post processing of a Pixel 2? Then again, maybe we don't need that additional step and we are already at the point where your phone is enough: https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/9/17097696/pixel-2xl-geneva-motor-show-2018 https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/9/17097696/pixel-2xl-geneva-...
- dharma1 9y agoYeah, it's getting closer. With fast enough sensor they could probably do HDR+ on video too, like HDRx on RED cameras. If they had a 10bit HEVC video profile for recording, they could store more of that extended DR too. Some things will be out of reach with a single small lens phone - depth of field on video, and selection of focal lengths/fov. And small sensors always have worse noise performance (quantum efficiency)
