OM System's Strategy Might Box It Into No-Man's Land

OM System wants to leverage its computational photography competitive advantage, but that leaves its cameras in no-man's land.

OM System Says It Prioritizes Computational Features Over Megapixels

OM System says it could look into higher-resolution sensors but wouldn’t select them if it meant sacrificing computational performance.

Been thinking...
while reading this and looking back at my photos

#Computationalphotography is the bad side of #LLM (Large Language Models).
It's true but now its super clear, how the digital photos are being tweaked towards something which looks great on a flat LCD screen but not great to edit outside the built in AI/mobile tools.
Thankfully #raw does exist but how many people actually shoot in RAW? Or even make the choice to switch depending on the context?

I always shoot in RAW
30.5%
I switch to RAW based on context
23.2%
Never shoot in RAW, as the space usage is huge
31.7%
My phone doesn't support RAW or what is RAW?
14.6%

I’m getting pretty tired of the way my Pixel photos look

Over the past five years, Google has sacrificed its edge in the mobile photography race for AI parlor tricks

Pretty grumpy at Apple for obvious reasons right now, but the gear still surprises me now and then.

Even my iPhone 13 mini, a way behind the state of the art, can do me this amazing handheld shot of my friends silhouetted against the lights of Bournemouth across the bay, with actual stars in the sky.

Or is it all made up?

I've never seen a camera miss this hard. 😬 Maybe we’ve gone too far down the computational photography road when an iPhone (the most popular camera ever sold!) can’t take natural looking photos of people in a pumpkin patch…

I like a lot of computational photography advancements we’ve seen, but we gotta tone it down.

Tech people— WHY did this happen to my photos?! I didn’t change any setting … it was taking them normal and then all of a sudden it looks like I’m photoshopped into my pictures. Like WHAT is this??? iphone #photography helppppp

A few years ago we found out about the Ruth Bancroft Garden being lit up for the holidays, so we went, and it was pretty cool. I've forgotten about it in the years since; I'll have to see if they'll do the show again this year. This isn't the best

If you’re someone who likes to dig into the minutiae of photo editing and wants the most neutral file possible to work with even if the process is hit or miss, then Process Zero might be a fun for you.
