Most photographers know the basics of lens-based image stabilization (Lens IS) and in-body image stabilization (IBIS), but if you’ve ever wanted a technical deep-dive that explains exactly how these systems work to generate 4, 5, or even 7 stops of stabilization, this video from Imaging Resource is here to answer that call. At the most […]

The folks at WIRED have put together a great video for the science nerds among us—and I do have a feeling there are a few. The video, which is part of WIRED's Dot Physics series, explains the physics behind drone flight; in other words: how that new DJI Mavic Air and quadcopters like it are able to hover, move in three dimensions, and rotate all by changing the speed at which various propellers spin. dpreview.com »

While imaging companies rarely use CES as a platform to launch new consumer cameras and lenses anymore, the major electronics tradeshow remains a great place for camera makers to show off interesting technology.
Most of us are accustomed to discussing sizes and resolutions when it comes to the camera models that we're familiar with. Those of us who are a bit more tech-savvy know of back-illuminated sensors.
Hologram hardware and software company Looking Glass, known for its spatial displays, announced new iOS support via Unity integration, enabling users to run real-time 3D media using just an iPhone or iPad, rather than super-powerful dedicated computers. [Read More]
Engineer, builder, and YouTube creator Shane Wighton, known for the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, has tackled a lot of fascinating engineering questions over the years.
Pancake lenses aren’t new, but they’re usually restricted to focal lengths between 24 and 40mm. At least I’ve only seen them in or around these focal ranges. I’m referring to lenses that are considered smaller and more compact (in the full frame genre) than lenses of other focal ranges. Any semi-decent lens is at least …
Software company Glass Imaging develops incredible technology that dramatically improves image quality, especially when dealing with small image sensors and lenses like those featured in smartphones.
