It’s Time To Make A Dinosaur Out Of 1/2.33″ Sensor In Compact Camera

It’s Time To Make A Dinosaur Out Of 1/2.33″ Sensor In Compact Camera


It is bemusing to see how the 1/2.33-inch sensor gets flogged like a reluctant horse, or dinosaur, in this time of imaging revolution — with camera makers still promising great image quality, in glowing superlatives, from compact cameras having the tiny sensor — when it is an open secret that the very thing that mostly crippled compact cameras in terms of their ability to pull off image of exceptional image quality is the tiny sensor.

Some say camera makers deliberately do this — cripple their compact cameras by not fitting them with a larger sensor — to prevent these cameras from cannibalising their DSLR market.

While this may holds some truth, the benefit of producing cameras with larger sensor, IMHO, far outweigh the risks.

Take the case of Panasonic, for example. Two years ago, it came up with the much-respected compact camera, the large sensor LX3. The 1/1.63-inch sensor used in the LX3 then has done a lot in shoring up Panasonic’s image as a company willing to take the risk to give consumers tools that take great pictures.

Now the consumer market is waiting in great anticipation for the upcoming LX5, a camera which, by the looks of it, build on the strength of the LX3. It has the same sensor size as the LX3 but this time, a redesign one to make it better.

The little wonders that the LX3 did in improving the perception towards Panasonic augured well for the company’s decision to go into mirrorless camera, starting with the G1, later the GH1 and then the GF series.

On the other hand, the use of 1/2.33-inch sensor in what could have been Canon’s flagship superzoom camera, the SX1 IS, did nothing to prop up the brand. Thankfully, the S90 and G11 save the day for Canon’s compact line up.

Samsung is also building its reputation as a camera maker willing to go the extra mile to dispel the notion that compact cameras are for snapshooters who know little other than to point and shoot. The EX1 is setting a new standard in the sensor-lens combination. Put in a large sensor, a 1/1.7-inch sensor, and attach a bright lens, a f1.8 nonetheless, and you have a winner.

The same formula applies to the LX5 and other, precariously low number of, premium compact cameras — get the sensor size and the lens’s f-range above the average “standard”, and everything else will fit into place.

And if you think a 1/1.63-inch sensor is sufficiently large to be the new standard in compact cameras, think of the 1/1.183-inch sensor onboard the soon-to-be released Nokia N8 smart phone. The N8 sample pictures released so far make you wonder if the many so-called compact cameras in the market today are not in danger of being rendered irrelevant by camera phones.

Consumers should now demand the phasing out of the 1/2.33-inch sensor and call on camera makers to make the 1/1.7-inch sensor a new standard in compact cameras.

I hope some of the points above do qualify as opinion, because you would have to pause and ponder an opinion and not dismiss it outright.

B3ta advertising works!

A few weeks back we ran an ad for
StyTV who were hoping to find the next
big comedy double act. They thought B3ta would
be a great place to look. And you know what? It
worked! So, introducing the winners as found
through the newsletter: Dadd & Fryer! Their
first challenge is to take £5 and become
entrepreneurs. Being sort of useless, their big
business idea is selling "egg portraits". Do
they succeed or fail? Only one way to find out.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING #1
Weakest Link, 90s & Budget beer

>> The Weakest Link - Anne goes mental <<
"I was bored, so this happened," confesses
Slurpy J, as Anne Robinson derails a round of
the Weakest Link to follow her own, predatory
sexual agenda. Mind bleach, please.
http://snurl.com/weakestlinkmadness

>> 1990s <<
"My wife often mocks me for being trapped in
the 90s," bleeps melancholy Ginger Fuhrer Rob
Manuel. "So I did a video/song about it." Like
an M Night Shyamalan film, we won't ruin this
by telling you there's a twist.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1990s

>> Crap beer stunt <<
Inspired by that enormously expensive beer
that's sold in dead squirrels, Tom Scott
attempts his own, super-budget version. Full
marks for going through with it and for mailing
it off to the brewing company asking for
feedback.

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Guilty Laughs

The best laughs are the ones that you really,
really shouldn't be having. Go have some:
http://b3ta.com/questions/guiltylaughs/

* MR JINGLES - "I have one of those friends who
posts status updates to Facebosh to inform all
of *everything* that happens in her life.
Recently, her status updates ran thusly: [15:46]
...has just rescued a mouse from a horrible
sticky mouse trap. Sooo cruel it was just,
like, glued there! yay me! [16:11] Turns out the
mouse lost quite a lot of fur and skin on his
poor belly from the trap. I'm gonna nurse him
all better and call him Mr Jingles like in the
Green Mile! [16:39] Has just given Mr Jingles a
soothing bath/wash and is gonna build him a
little home to live in! He gonna be a circus
mouse! ;o) [16:54] Mr Jingles is nibbling away
at biscuit crumbs! Soooooo cute! [17:44] Would
anyone like to come to Mr Jingles housewarming
party? Hee hee! Found an old wooden box in the
garage and have put some cotton wool and an old
cat bowl of water in there for him! Don't tell
anyone I've taken in a lodger! Hee Hee! x
[18:29] OMG! I was only gone 5 minutes and Mr
Jingles drowned in his water bowl :o( :o("
(R. Jimlad)

* KIT-E-SPLAT - "My friend Anthony loves animals.
A few years back, he had two cats, Mel and Pepsi.
One night he phoned me in floods of tears and
told me that Pepsi had been run over. I made
the appropriate soothing noises, waited for him
to calm down, then offered to go down and keep
him company. He said no, he'd just needed to
tell someone and felt better now. I hung up the
phone and turned to my neighbour Chris, who'd
been watching telly with me. "What's up?" he
asked. I told him about Anthony's cat. "Which
one was it?" "Pepsi." "Ooh," says he, "there's
nothing worse than flat Pepsi." I almost choked.
(Smash Monkey)

* KNIFEY - "I was on the phone to my Gran about
a year ago, and she was telling me about the
nasty cut she got on her hand while cutting
some cheese. In great detail. She explained how
much blood was dripping from her hand onto the
floor, how she wrapped the wound in a tea towel,
how she shuffled with her Zimmer frame to the
bathroom, how she cleaned the wound and all
the trouble of getting a plaster on before the
bleeding finally stopped. I sat patiently and
sympathetically listening to my poor old Gran's
tale. Finally, she cleaned herself up, shuffled
slowly though to the kitchen again, where the
bloody knife was still sitting and slowly took
it over to the sink, gave it a good wash, and
then Zimmered back to the cheese-board, knife
in hand. She positioned herself in front of the
cheese-board, picked the knife up, and promptly
dropped it, pointy tip downwards, into her foot.
Fortunately my Gran is a bit deaf, and did not
hear the strangled guffawing at my end as she
explained how she had to shuffle back though to
the bathroom with a sharp knife protruding from
her foot, trying not to bump it with her Zimmer
frame as she inched her way forward."

us here and make us wince:
http://b3ta.com/questions/ouch/

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Naughty wood animal kids' book <<
Clever ad for German porn channel is rammed
full of innuendo.
http://snurl.com/naughtynuts

>> Disguised weapons <<
Deadly weaponry, cunningly concealed as
everyday household objects. Like if
Transformers were real, but made out of small
knives and coke cans.
http://www.dontevenreply.com/view.php?post=84

>> thingsididlastnight.com <<
One of them there one-gag sites - made us
giggle.
http://thingsididlastnight.com/

>> Mila's Day Dreams <<
Mila's mum clearly gets bored when her baby is
asleep, so Mila winds up getting posed and
photographed in lots of fantastic scenes.
Someone needs to start doing this with drunk
students, as it puts shaving eyebrows to shame.
http://milasdaydreams.blogspot.com/

>> Can you guess what this is? <<
Surprising reveal of peculiar decorative
object. It looks a bit like delicious oreo
biscuit, but it is not that. At all.
http://snurl.com/ohnowtf

>> Edible cups <<
Picnic glasses moulded out of jelly.
Afterwards, throw them away or eat them.
Probably throw them away, as they look pretty
unappetising.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING #2
Trilogy lists, Geordies & TV hats

>> Best trilogy ever? <<
Spurred on by the release of Toy Story 3, "I've
done a super-good analysis of all the movie
trilogies ever," explains Zetsumetsu. He
certainly raises a few eyebrows by choosing
Twilight as mathematically the best movie
trilogy of all time, but there's no arguing
with Science. Ok, ok, that last sentence was a
lie, just so you'd click the link.
http://snurl.com/besttrilogyever

>> The Geordie mating song <<
"More voiceovery silliness from me," brags
Leemondus as he demonstrates how the Geordies
charm each other to bed, and the birds from the
trees.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/The_Geordie_Mating_Song

>> TV Hat around Shoreditch <<
For those who've never seen a TV hat, it's
essentially a techno-snood that more closely
adheres to the crown of the head. Bubbling with
enthusiasm, CR3 took his brand new gadget for a
photo-shoot around Shoreditch. "BEST DAY EVER!"
he slightly unconvincingly claims.
http://cr3ative.co.uk/tvhat/

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Moving pixel shiny-shiny

>> Two-legged kitten <<
It's not really explained what happened to this
baby cat's two front paws - perhaps they're
just carelessly misplaced. Anyway, delight in
his cute, kangaroo-like antics. Look, no hands!
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Two_legged_kitten

>> Dr Jones <<
Indy gets a job at a school, but falls foul of
bureaucratic headmaster Tom McDonnell. Lovely
little musical number.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Dr_Jones:2

>> Cow poo fetish <<
Jumping in puddles is fun, but cow-pats? Here's
39 videos of people loving being up to their
ankles in bullshit. Odd to suddenly stumble on
a brand new, clearly popular, sexual kink.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uzB1GxhUUk

>> Keyboard man <<
Nuance-perfect recreation of Keyboard Cat.
We'd love to see this guy do Charlie Bit My
Finger and Tub Girl.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Keyboard_man

>> Make love! <<
Saw an ad for this song on TV - oddly placed
amongst the kids' programming - but actually a
charming song telling everyone they should have
more sex. We entirely agree - especially as it
comes from a bloke who looks like an old Ben
Goldacre. Ben Oldacre maybe.
http://snurl.com/makelove

>> Toilet vs Glow-sticks! <<
So what happens if you pour the contents of 32
glow-sticks into a toilet cistern and then
flush? You get some very high young blokes,
giggling with delight, that's what.

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
Introducing Euan Kerr

OK, the old joke is "Wayne Kerr" but we reckon
"Euan Kerr" is one louder. itsDanBull writes,
"He's the editor of the Beano. Not much on him
online. Best I found is this Telegraph article
where he hints that Walter The Softie is gay."

: FRIDAY GAME
International Karate

Old nerds will be in rapture at this
pixel-perfect recreation of the Commodore 64

singing. Maybe get four of them and do Bohemian
Rhapsody.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleshlight

out house and eBay all the useless old tech we
accumulate my buying the flavour-of-the-month

: TOP TIP:

Never watch YouTube videos while signed in on a
computer you share with your partner. The front
page always displays recommendations quoting
the videos you've watched (for instance
"Recommended for you - The Armando Iannucci
Shows - App...Because you watched The Armando
Iannu...") That example was fairly innocuous
but when the front page is flooded with Cheryl
Cole, Katy Perry and cow manure clips, you may
find it difficult to explain away.

: SPONSORED LINK
Inflate your knob like a balloon

Another week, another filler ad from Amazon. We
typed 'penis' into the Search to see what we'd
get and we're pleased to report that Amazon is
now flogging penis pumps. Some of the reviews
are sort of amusing, but we reckon you could
liven them up a bit. Go on. Spoil yourself.

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Fridge, Cows and Shopping

>> Dave the Fridge <<
"Here's something we made with the comedian
Gareth Richards," cries thatchersarse. "Hope
you like!" Catchy song about why his mate is
very like a fridge.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Dave_the_Fridge

>> Cows and cows and cows <<
This is what cattle get up to when nobody's
looking. The usual, mind-melting stuff from
Cyriak. "Enjoy the many cows!" he tinkles.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/cows_and_cows_and_cows

>> Found shopping lists <<
"I keep finding shopping lists," explains
Wildyles. "There are some interesting people
out there, none more so than the idiot hunting
around trollies for old lists." Enjoy his
unnecessarily bile-filled critique of others'
grocery choices.
http://foundshoppinglist.wordpress.com/

-------------------------------------------------

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
You're doing it wrong

Most of us have suddenly realised we've been
doing something the wrong way all our lives,
but only this lot will admit to it. Click to
find out just where 'cname' got his hand stuck:
http://b3ta.com/questions/wrongness/

* CHOC - "A girl I once worked in a pub with
had a customer ask for a hot chocolate. Not
having ever made one before, but not wanting
to look like a div, she improvised thusly:
1) Pour about half a jar of hot chocolate
powder into the kettle. 2) Fill the kettle
with milk. 3) Turn on the kettle... It sort
of made a fuzzley noise for a minute and
started to crackle and emit burnt chocolatey
smoke. In fairness, several bar-hanging regulars
and I had watched her throughout the whole
process, and could have corrected her, but
we were too enthralled."
(SnowyTheRabbit)

* CHOP - "Worked for a kitchen fitter. I was
young. I was tasked with cutting out the hole
for the sink. I marked the hole out on the
worktop and then took to it with a jigsaw.
Yes, you guessed it. A perfect sink sized
piece of worktop is what I was left with, the
rest of the worktop cut to fucking bits to
get to the sink sized piece. Boy was my face
red. Because he punched me."
(Spaff_Quaffer)

* WHAT? - "I've been with my boyfriend for ten
years, and I always wondered why his mother -
Wendy - didn't like me very much. Last year,
he finally got round to telling me that her
name is Liz."
(Punkygirl)

>> This Week's Question: guilty laughs <<
We want you to tell us about the times your
sense of humour has gone beyond taste and
decency. Personally, it's once a week, on
Friday mornings. How about you?
http://b3ta.com/questions/guiltylaughs/

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Dear Blank, Please Blank <<
Anonymous notes to whoever. Mostly
observational humour in the form of a letter.
Enjoyed this more the further we read.
http://www.dearblankpleaseblank.com/

>> Biggest lies in online dating <<
People on dating sites exaggerate their height,
their income and, oddly, how bisexual they are.
Fascinating statistical analysis from OK Cupid.
http://snurl.com/datinglies

>> News mystery man <<
Who is this mysterious character, suddenly
ubiquitous on UK TV? He never seems to change
his clothes or his hair. Is he a prankster? A
crazy person? Or a sinister army of clones?
http://snurl.com/tvmysteryman

>> Journey through fruit <<
Animated MRI scans of fruit and veg produce
compelling images, like organic fireworks.
http://insideinsides.blogspot.com/

>> What BP could have bought <<
Here's some of the stuff that BP could have
bought with the money they lost off their
market valuation. It's not real money, of
course, but there are some good comedy
suggestions here. Really, can you imagine
anyone actually paying for Yahoo?
http://snurl.com/lookatwhattheycouldhavewon

>> My procedural <<
Writer retells a gripping incident from his own
life, to illustrate what it's like to pitch
ideas for police procedural TV show. Hope he
writes a whole book of these - we'd read it.
http://snurl.com/sledgehammerandwhore

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
It's YouTube with different stylesheets

>> Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind) <<
Celebration of the small Welsh town, in a Jay-Z
& Alicia Keys style. Newport is a hotbed of
rap, being the hometown of Goldie Lookin' Chain.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Newport_Ymerodraeth_State_of_Mind

>> Mel Gibson vs Old Spice guy <<
When massive memes meet, they make odd little
meme babies. But who are we to deny them their
moment to shine?
http://bit.ly/c5Dqw6

>> Bunny Show Jumping <<
Rabbits compete athletically for your delight.
We enhanced our viewing pleasure by replacing
the soundtrack with Nine Inch Nails 'Just Like
You Imagined' for that 'epic' feel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNPOdffkkLo

>> Pug sings Batman <<
A lot funnier than it should be.
http://youtu.be/GrIp3k5pJQM

>> The Chipophone <<
An old electric organ converted into an 8-bit
synth to play live chip tune music. "It has
built-in arpeggios, man!" raves a fired-up Rob.
Old synths used to cheat at chords by playing
single notes for a microsecond at a time, like
stop-motion for the ear, and creating an odd
trilling sound.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/The_Chipophone

>> Incredible particle physics demo <<
Some sort of hyped-up cgi demonstration, which
excites us just thinking about how good games
are going to look in a few years. Yes,
Farmville 2.0 will be pretty fucking sweet.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Amazing_particle_physics_demo

-------------------------------------------------

: GO SEE BEN WHEATLEY'S FILM
Down Terrace

Old-school B3tan Ben writes -

"My feature film 'Down Terrace' finally makes
it to the cinema. I am having to write this
because Rob angrily replied, 'I AM TOO LAZY TO
WRITE YOUR PUFF.' So here it is: Down Terrace
plays at the ICA from the 30th of July for a
week. It's won a load of prizes and has had
good reviews. So go and see it. There's seven
deaths and lots of swearing. Thanks Ben."

It's this week's challenge. 'Shop it.
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/bigben/

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* "I'VE MADE A SINGLE WITH ARMANDO IANNUCCI",
writes old-school b3tan Fat Boab, "Dead
chuffed, like."
http://snurl.com/iannucciplayspop

* KITTENS INSPIRE SCIENCE - "One for 'What
happened next'?" prompts Fraser correctly.
http://snurl.com/kittycrowdsourcing

* NINA THE SNOW LEOPARD - Jahled writes, "Kerry
came to the Trust today to meet the snow
leopard named after Nina."
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10129709

* HOW MUCH HEROIN WILL KILL YOU? - chris
monkboy writes, "As a scientist, I, and no
doubt thousands of other scientists will be
informing you that virtually every chemical
that you can buy has an MSDS sheet available to
go with it. In answer to your question, a
typical lethal dose for heroin would be about
7.82 mg per KG." He also suggests you look up
Ethanol for some very dry lols.
http://www.lookchem.com/HEROIN/

-------------------------------------------------

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE

Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.

Things we'd really like to see include

* GOVERNMENT WARNINGS ON NEWS STORIES - like
how much saturated bullshit there is per 100
grams.

* iPHONE LICKERS - "I think you should set a
competition for people with an iPhone and who
can text the fastest with their tongue," says
Donkey Gums.

* A BUTTON TO ROUND UP A TWITTER HATE MOB -
always useful if you want to hound some poor
bastard into insanity.

Are you ready to review the Best Humor, Coolest Pix and Political Parody on the Internet?

Get ready to jump into something "Strange!"

==================================

Strange QUOTES - Cowardice & Criticism

Pacifism is simply undisguised cowardice. - unknown

The coward threatens when he is safe.- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

They have vilified me, they have crucified me. Yes, they have even criticized me.- Richard J. Daley

People can be divided into two classes: those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit still and inquire, 'Why wasn't it done the other way?' - Oliver Wendell Holmes

To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. - Elbert Hubbard

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide. - Mickey Mantle

I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture. - Robert Capa

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Doctors List Best Colonoscopie Lines

Colonoscopies

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their Colonoscopies:

1. "Take it easy Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before?

2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

4. "Oh boy! That was sphincterrific!"

5. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

6. "You know in Arkansas we're now legally married."

7. "Any sign of the trapped miners Chief?"

8. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."

9. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"

10. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!"

11. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."

12. "You used to be an executive at Enron didn't you?"

And the best one of them all...

13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is in fact not up there.

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Answers to Questions on Welfare Claims

I am forwarding my marriage certificate and 6 children. I had 7 but one died, which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.

I am writing to the welfare department to say that my baby was born 2 years old. When do I get my money?

Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been visited regularly by the clergy.

I cannot get sick pay. I have 6 children. Can you tell me why?

I am glad to report that my husband who was reported missing is dead.

This is my eight child, what are you going to do about it?

Please find for certain if my husband is dead; the man I am now living with can't eat or do anything until he knows.

I am very much annoyed to find that you have branded my boy illiterate as this is a dirty lie. I was married to his father a week before he was born.

In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing 10 pounds. I hope this is satisfactory.

I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my 3 children, one of which was a mistake, as you will see.

My husband got his project cut off 1 week ago and I haven't had any relief since.

Unless I get my husband's money soon, I will be forced to lead an immortal life.

You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make any difference?

I have no children yet, as my husband is a bus driver and works day and night.

In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

I want my money as soon as I can get it. I have been in bed with the doctor for 2 months and he doesn't doe me any good. If things don't improve, I will have to send for another doctor.
