Cool gadgets: The Pelican Imaging camera isn’t striving for mega pixels; this is a cool gadget set to change the face of digital photography.
The Pelican Imaging camera could be the revolution that smartphone photography has been waiting for. Why? It uses a system of 16 lenses to capture a large number of pictures simultaneously and then stitches them all together to form one single image.
The resultant photograph is far more flexible than the traditional digital one. You can, for example, refocus a picture taken with the Pelican camera after it has been shot.
It sounds unbelievable, but it works. Say you neglected to focus on a particular person - a Pelican picture would let you change this at a later date. You could even move obects from the background to the foreground, without any loss of definition.
Pelican is so compact that it doesn't require any big or bulky technology. The high-quality imaging processor is simply built in to your standard smartphone at manufacture, making the Pelican unique when it comes to the quality/size ratio.
Release dates for Pelican products are still to be confirmed - as is the price - but it hopes to be in action by next year. Rumors suggest that Nokia might be the first brand to take advantage of its groundbreaking work.
This may be the catch of the day. The new Pelican camera, that could out do all the other digital cameras known to man. And it doesn't only pack a punch but also a sleek new style.
