These are not multiple photographs layered on top of one another. It is basically one image containing a ton of light data. A lot of people think this is going to be the future of photography. Very interesting.

Scary that Joe 6Pack can produce photographic masterpieces by muddling through the effort.

Great, now if the camera can pack itself up go out take the pictures I want bring itself home & work its magic, the damn thing won't need me I'll stay home & catch up to my knapp time & take the credit " How Sweet it Is"

Filesize I can deal with. It will probably cost about the same as an A-380

I read about this in the paper this morning. Pretty incredible really. Did you guys play with the flower picture to see how it worked? Tell me that isn't amazing!

amazing.....
