Carrying here a tale regarding a large, four-lens Canon camera on its way.
I thought the person describing the camera was actually talking about some sort of oddball "landscape" device, but then he mentioned the lenses as being arranged two-over-two, with five CMOS sensors and completely full-sized...that is, not like a little pocket or novelty camera but like a professional-style rig, with regular mounts, and all.
Could this be Canon's new idea for capturing extremely large images? That would be some image file, indeed.
If four lenses and five sensors, I'm thinking there's some kind of hardware stitching of the image capture, making it seamlessly one image? Still, that doesn't seem correct. Seems like the image wouldn't quite match, and that a fifth CMOS chip would be superfluous, anyway.
On the other hand, I'm hardly a visual optics physicist scientist baron.
Anyone?
