Will Fuji PDAF save P&S's from the dumpster of history?

Or will the camera phone still wipe them out? Once you can focus faster, you can more fully appreciate how bad P&S images are, because now you can't blame the ugliness on motion blur or a missed shot. http://dpreview.com/news/1008/10080505fujifilmpd.asp Good thing that system allows it to choose between the two methods. I'd NEVER want to depend on PDAF alone for my photography. After having seen how many PDAF snapshots from these crappy auto-everything snapshooters have always got the focus wrong, I'd rather have the slightly slower but more highly accurate CDAF any day. My CDAF cameras focus in the dark fast enough to perfectly focus on insects in rapid flight. With PDAF it would focus on a flower behind the subject, or something else. NO thanks. (Well, actually, in that scenario PDAF becomes absolutely useless, low light.) Though I might see an advantage in combining the two. Let PDAF calculate the approximate distance (as it always does), then let CDAF correct PDAF's ever-present inherent focusing flaws. |
