We’ve already seen some AI software that can upsample low-res images. You know, CSI-style. Face Depixelizer is another AI-powered software, particularly focused on faces. It can take a pixelated, low-res photo and turn it into a realistic portrait. While the results are pretty impressive – the app doesn’t come without its quirks.
These are the rumoured specs for Canon’s upcoming 75-megapixel “EOS Rs”
Canon’s EOS 5DS and 5DSR have proven quite popular amongst landscape, architecture, product, macro and other photographers who demand high resolutions over speed. But they were released in 2015 and Canon has shown no indication that they’ll be replaced by an upcoming DSLR. A high-resolution EOS R mirrorless model, however, has been rumoured for a while now.
Now it looks like the folks at Canon Rumors have managed to get their hands on some possible specs for the new high-res mirrorless, which they’re dubbing the “EOS Rs”. Their source also claims to have shot with a prototype of the new model, and that we can expect an announcement possibly as soon as February.
Canon to rejoin the megapixel race with an 80+ megapixel EOS R mirrorless camera
Sony’s 61-megapixel A7R IV caused quite the splash when it was announced, becoming the highest resolution full-frame camera out there. Canon’s ageing 50-megapixel 5DS and 5DSR bodies were the previous champions, but they’re getting a little long in the tooth. According to a report on Canon Rumors, though, Canon is preparing to reclaim the throne with an 80+ megapixel EOS R body.
Super high resolution “more than 75-megapixel” Canon EOS R on the way next year?
Recently Canon Watch reported that Canon will be announcing two new EOS R models in 2019. It had also been suggested that at least one full frame DSLR model had been shelved in favour of a mirrorless option. It was speculated that this model might be the EOS 5DS/5DSR. Now, new word via Canon Rumors seems to back up this fact.[Read More…]
New algorithm “enhances” low-res photos till they are tack sharp in hi-res
The scientists of Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a new algorithm. It enhances low-res images so that they miraculously become hi-res and sharp. It only needs a single low-resolution input, and it will increase its resolution while retaining the realistic textures and details.
Quicklapse Allows the D800 to Shoot 8K Real Time Video
The D800 has been regarded as an exceptional camera ever since its release in 2012. Some of its strongest selling points were (and continue to be in the D810) its dynamic range, ISO capabilities and superb resolution.
Three years after its release and the discontinued model just got an excellent new feature – 8K real time video!
A new technique called quicklapse creates the super-high resolution video my bypassing Nikon’s limitation of 100 photos in continuous mode and then interpolating the frames in post production to fill the gaps.
Obviously Nikon isn’t responsible for this addition, though. Miguel de Olaso (aka Macgregor), an award-winning director of photography from Los Angeles, and Art Sanchez, an architecture and interior design photographer from Spain, are to thank.
