Admit it, camera smartphone is a way of life now. No matter where you go, I am sure you will take out your smartphone with camera to take a quick shot at something interesting. And some of you are really good at it<\/a>. Now, a new company, Light, is going to do something that might change (or not) the way you take pictures on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

\"lightprototype\"<\/p>\n

They are going to reinvent the camera on smartphones. There is not even a prototype yet (above pic is a render) but the idea of clustering multiple mini camera modules into one is astonishingly interesting (for me).<\/p>\n

When you take a picture on this Light smartphone, not one but multiple of cameras will be fired at the same time to capture the shot. The end result is a combination of all these shots into one best shot using software.<\/p>\n

..This way, Light believes, it can fit the quality and zoom of a bulky, expensive DSLR camera into much smaller, cheaper packages\u2014even phones.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Light, they might be introducing a smartphone with 52MPX in 2016. That is next year.<\/p>\n

.. the startup says it expects the first Light cameras, with 52-megapixel resolution, to appear in smartphones in 2016.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a picture of an array of 16 camera modules on a chassis.<\/p>\n

Based on the article, it is said that you can refocus on any point in the picture, just like what Lytro <\/a>can do. I like the idea of such camera smartphone but I wonder who are the intended users. Will you want to carry a bulkier smartphone to take better pictures or will you just carry a DSLR if you need good quality picture?<\/p>\n

With the combined pictures, in my opinion, there will be no way to use the EXIF<\/a> on the picture to determine the conditions or the settings of the camera when the picture is taken.Anyway, I will need to see a few pictures taken with such camera to convince me that it is a good move to cluster the camera modules.<\/p>\n
