Making a digital camera is a project that appears easy enough, but it’s one whose complexity increases depending on the level to which a designer is prepared to go. At the simplest a Raspberr…
But yeah, as much as I’d like to get from DSLR to mirrorless at some point, it’s mostly because of how much better they do at video and how much getting the mirror out of the way helps with certain lenses (even though I really don’t like the EVF on my friend’s Canon), and the general space saving. I wouldn’t do it for a sensor I’m sure is a big downgrade.
It has a Kodak CCD sensor that was released back in the early 2000s.
It is a cool project, but I’d rather use my Lumix S5, or even my Lumix GX80.
It is a cool and interesting project, but I dispute the claim that I would want to use it, testing sure, but using, nah.
The title would be more accurate saying something like this:
“A usable open source mirrorless camera? Yes!”
I think it’s more that it’s capable at all.
