Absurd Camera making process
So start trying to guess how much the camera kit being made in the video costs. Any number that comes to mind, I will hide the number in with my handy script for you to try and guess. Hat Tip to The Verge for sharing this. Watching the video really got me to thinking though about how the optics, and the connections for controlling the toggles could all be re-used if the image sensor and processor could be an upgradeable part. The camera itself is just a housing for the sensor, and the rest of the knobs just a way to talk to the brain; the brain and sensor should be upgradeable. Why let this beautiful body for a camera languish with outdated parts at some point? Design the camera around a modular card that houses the brain and sensor with simple connectors (ie a bus interface) that would allow this camera to be upgraded sometime down the line. If you're going to dump this much money into a camera it should be future proofed to some degree!

That's really neat I bet that is one expensive camera but dang does it look nice! Canon is supposed to release new entry level DSLRs featuring their new digic 5 image processor soon I'm looking at getting one of those
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of work goes in to making it! I hope its inner quality matches its outer look!
ReplyDeleteVery cool process
ReplyDeleteYou have to admire the detail and craftsmanship but I've always been more of a Nikon fan.
ReplyDeleteSaying that my camera's never seem to last me long...
Yeah, I'm not going to even bother guessing how much that cost.
ReplyDeletemanufacturing videos like this one are always super interesting
