Why will mobile device cameras probably never have the QOR of SLRs?

I'm glad we seem to be in agreement but remember Kodak's attitude to digital photography. Talk to some professionals. The need for interchangeable lenses has diminished with cameras like the Fuji X100. It obviously isn't for sports photographers than need the Canon BWLs (big white lenses) but it's a fine alternative to lugging around an SLR and more lenses than you're likely to need. The comparison to Apple is rather amusing. http://www.cultofmac.com/222236/fujifilm-x100-is-the-best-digital-camera-i-have-ever-used-review/ But it still uses a lens. I am forecasting the day when the majority of cameras will not. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I suppose I could just about visualise a similar arrangement in a mobile phone, allowing something like an FF sensor together with a modern pancake lens. Or a mobile phone with a 6x9cm sensor on the back, behind a 'dark slide', along with a separate box containing a prime 10cm lens with a silk bellows and a slide-holder (what used to be called 'a camera', in fact). Excellent idea: a mocam. 3D-print your own one. -p Could be quite interesting to see some movies shot through a camera making full use of a rising front and swing back. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |

I'm glad we seem to be in agreement but remember Kodak's attitude to digital photography. kodak's attitude was that digital would replace film, and they were exactly correct. what they got wrong was how fast it was going to happen. a lot of people make that same mistake about technology. That's exactly what I was saying about lenses, or did you already realise that? lenses aren't going away any time soon. |

Refraction etc. The wider the lens, the better the quality and more details you can PHYSICALLY get to the sensor. nope. the wider the aperture, the more light passes through it. quality & amount of detail depend on *other* factors. laws of physics limit what quality you can get (assuming perfect lens quality) on a lens the size of a smartphone. the limiting factor is mainly the sensor. |

Refraction limits how many separate wavelengths can pass through a lens without interfering with each other. We studied this in physiscs class way back when. Think of photons traveling too close to each other and their energy is evened out, yielding 2 photos of identical energy instead of 2 photons with totally indepenent energy levels as they entered the lens. you might want to review what you claim to have studied. I don't know that this is at a scale that matters for iPhone size lenses. But it does limit what a spy satellite can see on earth for instance. you're right, you don't know. Also consider that the blending of pixel energy may result in a 23MP sensor recording only 12MP worth of separate pixels because a number of pixels get "blended" and register identical levels by the time they hit the 23MP sensor. pixel energy? you're off your meds again. |
