You're speaking as if this were a mature product, and letting the marketing hype guide you rather than common sense. Which is exactly the error that the reviewer makes in his article. And you're doing it in the absence of actually working with the camera. I ignore the marketing hype entirely.

So what's *principally* wrong with crowdsourcing testpilots for a flying car? :-) I don't think it's right with cameras either. Jostein Den 20.12.2017 23:41, skrev Godfrey DiGiorgi: On Dec 20, 2017, at 1:28 PM, mike wilson wrote: Not really fair, that. As a

Yes, of course; I've read it already. Pardon my going on about it a little … but it's been brought up every single time the Light L16 has been mentioned for the past month or so. Like most of the so-called "reviews" I read, it is mostly concentrating on the irritations and difficulties of the

This must be the camera that Leon Kowalski used to take the photo that Rick Deckard analysed with his Esper machine in Blade Runner, Real life has finally caught up with sci-fi. Still waiting for my flying car, though. regards, Anthony -- PDML

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

The Light L16 camera (http://light.co) that I ordered in 2015 is finally in production. I received my unit yesterday. I snapped a few exploratory frames playing with the controls. I then set it on a shelf, a 35mm equivalent FoV selected, and let it make a photo of me. I rendered the file with
