Hi Zoners,



pretty cool article about "the differences between your eyes and your camera"...

Bye Sebastian

nice article - so i guess the eyes have it then -



they surely make the best candid camera/viewer - and they are always sharp . . . unless they're always soft, + they do the best 3D - also eyelids are the best cleaners -



but maybe eyes don't do a very good long lens . . . unless popping out of your head when they spot a beautiful human at a distance and making you move in for that closer look is a better idea -



and i've yet to see two lenses attract each other the way two sets of eyes do -

Right <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> "Beautiful Human" enables our zooming function <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Not to mention some other background (post) processing <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Nice topic and article... Thanks for sharing.



It could be more interesting to compare the light sensitive rods and cones on retina vs. photodiodes on a sensor... Of course, + the conversion of light into an image. I think here again the human eye is a marvel: the rods are sensitive to monochrome & low light, and the cones to color and fine detail. It's like having two sensors with different ISO base and color reproduction in one camera!

Wow!... Very interesting and also exciting... I like the idea of saying goodbye to "classic" bayer-filter & interpolation technology.

Yeah, gone with the wind... But the new 1/2" EXR sensor has 8mp ® and 8mp(S) and also it is back-illuminated... So DR + low light performance boost can be expected (for a sensor that much small <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />)...
