big black turnout posted:A digital 6x17 Yes please. The downside is it would sell so few copies that they'd have to charge $10k for it to make any money at all. At that point you might as well buy a 100MP medium format camera and throw away 2/3 the pixels to get the same ratio. But still, a dedicated 6x17 digital camera would be so drat nice, stitching images at home is a chore I despise. As for quality of life features, I crave a camera with internal storage as well as in-camera backup. You can sorta fudge it on bodies with dual slots but what I'd really like is to plug an SSD into a usb port and it copies everything on the cards to that hard drive. The faff needed to do a field backup right now is an absolute pile of poo poo. Wireless tethering to phone apps that aren't dogshit would be a huge plus too. And all physical controls should be fully customizable to any function the camera supports. Also a line of modern built prime lenses with a ~20cm flange distance so we can have digital technical cameras. Yeah you can adapt 645 glass and get there right now, but the focus and shutter mechanisms are useless with a bellows and digital back.

frumpykvetchbot posted:Years back I was helping a stop motion animation production create a practical camera setup based on a Nikon D3, going by production notes from Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr. Fox" set. We had a primitive arduino controlled rig for the camera to create controlled moves and rotations with simulated motion blur achieved with long exposures while the axes dial in the next frame, like a discount cargo cult impression of the Lucasfilm OG star wars "Dykstraflex" match move system. The gphoto2 library under linux is about the closest I know of that gets anywhere near this. At least for Canon stuff it's fairly flexible.. obviously can't control zoom but everything else is available. The downside is Canon is kind of dumb in that if you trigger the shutter over usb you can't issue any new commands until the buffer is cleared and this takes 1-2 seconds, so I worked around it by hooking a remote shutter up to a raspberry pi's gpio pins and saving exposure settings for the usb connection. But the upside to the usb connection is you can dump the buffer straight to your calling program and "do stuff" with it almost immediately. I've used this to sequence eclipse photo sequences at tenth of a second resolution and have been pretty pleased with it. I guess in that case I didn't have to mess with focus much so I can't say how well that works, maybe I should test that sometime.
