Thanks for sharing this. I have never seen a camera like this. It promises to make almost all (non-dedicated) cameras obsolete. Despite its looks, it does not seem to be an all-in-one gadget which cannot excel in any of its functions. On top of these, its price (< USD 2000, apparently) is within acceptable limits for most enthusiasts.
I hope you enlight us more : ) Bulent --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://patoloji.gen.tr http://celasun.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/bulentcelasun 2017-12-19 23:55 GMT+03:00 Godfrey DiGiorgi <godfreydigio...@me.com>: > The Light L16 camera (http://light.co) that I ordered in 2015 is finally in > production.
