Almost costs as much as a leica
the fact that in some years they will make it portable
I wonder does it shot JPEG or RAW? 😂😂😂😂 let me add this to my wish list lol
I thought it was going to be used to take photos of people’s lunch for insta
Yes but poor battery performance, bad low light performance and no video? Sorry Canon is better
168 mil? Who can I talk to about info about buying one of these bad boys?
Are they for the private sector or is just commercialized/militarized?
In 10 years this will be used as cheap webcam
Way more interesting and tangible that James Webb. YES, do more of these. Quit sending junk into space. Do it here and solve the problems here.
Why are some of the pieces of the sensor darker than others?
What’s this tiny lense going to go that James web can’t. Also it has to see though out atmosphere.
But can it see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
Willy Wonker had a bigger camera than that.
.…but does it have night mode?
ok but if it took a picture of me would it vaporize me into a million pieces and create a smaller version of me inside a small tv screen microwave thing?
asking for a friend.
That’s one giant shutter
Insane how this thing will map the entire sky in the span of 10years; mapping 20TB of data each night
how does this compare to the 39m telescopes sensor?
Who’s come here after watch Dhruv Rathi video short
Xiaomi be like:- wait a min i will give you better deal 5200 mp in just 500$.
Why not to make 100000 megapixel camera and reach what we can maximum build
It should have been used in a hubble like telescope, not in an obserbvatory sitting on earth. Such a waste of resources 😢
In the future that camera will be just as big as the size of my thumb carrying a 3,200 mp camera with just a single hand.
Humans better be careful searching deep space we might just discover things we should not have discovered like aliens
what a nugget
India wale like kro 🎉 kashyap ke chore❤Rdx Manish 99
12gb with that much mega pixels
I think that it wouldnt be able to capture closer objects tho right?
So powerful it can spot a golf ball 15 miles away?…poweful but in the scope of space.…. Not so much 15 miles is nothing compared to 15 billion miles away.
This camera looks good. Where can i buy it? What lenses can i use with it?
3 second video will be 10 Terabytes 😂
The bokeh must be insane
