Phone cameras are using advanced image processing to bypass basic laws of physics and produce images otherwise only possible with much larger sensors, according to Rishi Sanyal at DP Review.
It’s not that these cameras break physical laws, of course, but they do overcome physical limitations with sophisticated processing. For example, Sanyal says, phones like the Pixel 2 intelligently (and automatically) combine multiple shots of the same scene, so its 0.38″ sensor behaves more like a 1″ sensor.
A prolific writer and avid photographer, J.M. Hoffman picked up his first camera when he was eight years old. And even though he abhors a cliche, he never looked back.
Acclaimed as a "master raconteur" who writes with a "flair" (Times Literary Supplement of London), Hoffman authored two non-fiction books and contributed to over a dozen others before writing The Warwick Files. He continues to write fiction and non-fiction.
In addition to writing and traveling the world lecturing about his books, Hoffman has also directed a dance troupe, taught darkroom technique, and explored Patagonia on horseback. From time to time he can be seen playing table tennis poorly at the WTCC. He lives just north of New York City.
