US-based startup Light has officially introduced its L16, a portable device packed with 16 individual cameras, ten of which capture an image at the same time at different fixed focal lengths. The resulting photograph is a composite of all the individual images combined, with a final resolution of up to 52 megapixels. An earlier prototype of this camera was shown off this past April.
L16 is, according to Light, a portable camera that offers excellent low-light performance and DSLR-like image quality. The camera features a 5" touch display on the rear, equivalent focal lengths between 35mm and 150mm, 4K video recording, and depth-mapping technology to adjust a photo's depth of field and focus after it has been captured. Other known features include an IP54 water and dust resistance, support for a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount, integrated GPS and an accelerometer, Wi-Fi, HDR capture, and a dual-tone LED flash.
