Well I already bought it, so I guess I'll make the best if it. I'm getting great video and even stills with it, but the fixed aperture is really a set back.
An aperture is a physical thing. In the past, one or two manufacturers of compact cameras using similar sensor sizes managed to produce a disc that had two holes in it that span into position giving you two options or had a drop in second curtain with a smaller hole in it to give a similar effect. The holes could be made similar to the shape of a normal lens diaphragm so as to give some semblance of bokeh and limited starburst effect. To make a miniature iris that small would increase the size of the gimbal head quite a bit.
Phones do use their processing power to combine images to give the impression of an out of focus background but to be honest, never really gets close to the effect of a good optical lens. While it could be done I'm sure others will moan about the quality drop in output. The problem is not many people get to see good optics so never really see a difference. It's like listening to an MP3 and thinking it has the same quality as a good audiophile system. Modern systems are pretty good and the gap closes year on year but in my opinion, it still has some way to go. The other problem which affects both small and larger sensors is that the wider the lens angle the harder it gets to produce such isolation in the depth of the image and the more separation some people want the more it will upset those who think they need an infinity focus. |
