this thing is fucking peculiar. i've been using it for a couple of hours now and i'm genuinely baffled.
i'm already rotating the idea of a writeup about it in my head. i have a few more things i wanna explore though before i can get started on that.
"this is the weirdest camera i've ever used" -@masklayer, after trying to some raw files taken with it
I want you to imagine spending two thousand 2017 dollars for this image quality
Are the long lenses mounted sideways in the body??? They're looking at a mirror. What the hell
They all go sideways except for the 28mm equivalents I think...
Yeah seems like even at the time it was pretty underwhelming: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/4/10/17218758/light-l16-review-camera-photos
Wait I’m sorry are you both named Tom and married to each other that’s brilliant
that sure is a faintly adequate camera for the price of a pretty good one
Debatable, compare it to a GR and I'm not sure the quality stands up for the price, especially since the quality isn't consistent and the overall UX makes it feel really unreliable...
for clarity, "faintly adequate" here means "the builtin camera on a $100 smartphone from 2017"
God damn that thing sure is an object to look at and behold
I wouldn't ever want to use it but I would love to hold it and turn it over in my hands and perceive it
What a fucking THING
This is absolutely bizarre. You should do a full writeup. I hate looking at that thing
