No glass? No problem! At least that’s Hitachi’s goal. The Japanese company has announced development of a lensless camera that uses moire fringing and math instead of a lens to capture images.
What’s more, those images can be focused after you take the shot. Lensless/flat cameras are not a new idea—a FlatCam is being developed […]. petapixel.com
When it comes to buying cameras today, size, price, weather sealing, and megapixels are a few things that people consider. However, oftentimes, many people begin to chase megapixels the most, as it is considered to help one achieve 'better' results.
When it comes to sensor technology, Nikon has been taking a back seat in recent years. While their cameras, like the Nikon Z9 and Z8, have been breaking new ground in the mirrorless segment, they have had to rely on Sony to produce sensors for these (and other) cameras.
NASA has unveiled a new infrared camera that promises to drive impressive new science on Earth and beyond.

We will be releasing an upcoming series of articles on infrared photography that I've been slowly working through the last few weeks, and this amusingly popped up in the list of patent applications published.
In this patent application (2024-019961) Canon shows off a high-speed stacked sensor using three substrate layers. As you can imagine, sensor layers are like a house, the more floors you have the more flexibility you have, and the more room.
Five years ago, the first thing manufacturers talked about when launching a new camera was the sensor. Megapixels made headlines along with backlit designs and sensor stacking. But, has all that changed? Looking at technical tests and rankings like those from DxO Mark, half of all the top ten full frame cameras are more than three years old.
More and more photographers are demanding durable cameras. But what they've also been asking for are brass cameras. The only brands to really do something like this in the past two decades have been Pentax and Leica.
