Ted Forbes reviews the Light L16 camera

Ted:

This is my long awaited review of the Light L16. Announced 2 years ago it is finally out. The Light L16 combines 16 lenses in a mobile style body. Light say this is aimed to replace a traditional DSLR and a bag of lenses. The Light L16 uses computational imaging to get to the final image. When you make a photograph, it uses multiple lenses to compose the photo. Up to 10 images are combined and then stitched together in post production. On the widest angle setting this produces an 81 Megapixel image. So how does it work and what do the images look like?

Hasselblad X1D review by Ted Forbes: “This camera is a best”

Ted Forbes conclusion:

Hasselblad were gracious enough to loan me a Hasseblad X1D to review. This camera represents a benchmark in medium format digital photography with it size. This is a medium format digital camera that is smaller than most DSLR’s. If you want high resolution images, look no further. This camera is a best!

Leica M10 sensor testes by DxOmark: “odd behavior for both color and dynamic range”

DxOmark tested the Leica M10 sensor and the conclusion isn’t that exciting:

For pure sensor performance, the Leica M10’s 24Mp CMOS chip is in the same ballpark as recent Leica full-frame chips. Its odd behavior for both color and dynamic range is worth looking out for, and it’s fair to say that although sensor quality is good, it could be improved with better implementation. Compared to the top-performing full-frame sensors we’ve tested, the M10 lags a little behind at base ISO and throughout the sensitivity range, with image quality more in line with the best APS-C chips. So better image quality is available and the M10 isn’t cheap, but first-class engineering that meets the Leica standard never is. However, a digital camera with similar proportions to analog M cameras will be hugely appealing to Leica enthusiasts. Add to that compatibility with almost all Leica lenses ever made, as well as its simplicity of operation, and the M10 will be an attractive proposition to those who appreciate the quality of the Leica system.

Sony A7rIII shows new class leading Dynamic Range performance. Only geats beaten by Medium Format.

Photons by Photos published the A7rIII Dynamic Range test results. The A7rIII shows the best performance in the Full Frame class. Only medium format cameras can surpass the Sony’s score. And this week we got many more A7rIII reviews:

Dpreview published the full Sony A7rIII test and the camera earned a 90% score.
Time.com named the top 10 gadgets of the year.

And this is TheCameraStoreTV final take on the camera:
