Timeshifting Photography

Over on Luminous Landscape Michael Reichmann has a thought provoking article on the next big thing in the convergence of still photography and video, "Timeshifting Digital Cameras" like the Casio EX-F1 shown here. EX-F1_ff_flash-001

Imagine something about the size and weight of a medium format camera. It will have optical reflex viewing and interchangeable lenses. It will be able to shoot raw still images at 30 frames per second – continuously, and without the need for a mechnical shutter at just about any required shutter speed. It will have a recycling memory buffer so that it is constantly recording images, buffering the last couple of seconds and then disposing of them if not needed. That way the image can be captured even before the shutter has been pressed.

The full article is here.
