After starting to read the article and seeing the actual camera, I wonder how many people would actually use that. Holy cow now I'm all for big cameras, people grab my cameras and complain at the weight and size, but even I might complain about that one.

Well, yes, it's big, but this is a proof-of-concept thing, not a production product. I like the idea of an open source camera. I've heard good things about the Rockbox open source firmware that can be installed into some MP3 players. This project strikes me as a similar idea.
Uh, oh. This part could give some reality to "I take good pictures because I have a good camera":
Yet another idea is to have the camera communicate with computers on a network, such as a photo-hosting service on the Web. Imagine, Levoy says, if the camera could analyze highly-rated pictures of a subject in an online gallery before snapping the shutter for another portrait of the same subject. The camera could then offer advice (or just automatically decide) on the settings that will best replicate the same skin tone or shading. By communicating with the network, the camera could avoid taking a ghastly picture.

Obviously these people have not sent it to me for beta-testing yet :) |
