It looks like Samsung is cheating on 'space zoom' moon photos
I don’t really care if it cheated. To me, what’s more important is how well can it cheat? If the Samsung can accurately recreate PORTIONS of the moon occluded by a tree or other object, then the cheating is good enough that it’s actually useful because people can make custom images of the moon that you can’t just download from the internet. Has anyone tried this? -
The new Mac mini is a great machine, but a $499 model could serve a larger audience

Watch: iPhone X takes on Samsung's Galaxy S9+ in benchmarking bonanza
While I don't disagree that raw performance in most real world use is now probably close to a wash between these two flagships, I find it interesting that an Apple centric site would come to this conclusion given the raw data (iPhone winning nearly every test, and still dominating in several). The thing that I believe this study misses when comparing graphics is the efficiency/throttling performance under sustained load. Apple's devices have been able to sustain close to peak performance without thermal throttling while competitors have not. This difference doesn't show itself in standard gfx benchmarks that usually don't run long enough to overheat the system. Also, the graphics tests are off-screen measurements of raw computing power, which means when you try to run a game on-screen, the higher resolution on the Galaxy screen will result in even lower frame rate despite not providing much of a perceivable sharpness benefit. -

Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs Google Pixel 2 XL: camera is only part of the package
unphocus said:sector7g said:Just like digital stabilization is worse than optical. The artificial blur will never be as good as real optical focus.
Here are are some advantages of digital stabilization:
1. I can use decades old manual lenses
2. In DSLR cases, I only have to pay for stabilization once—in the camera—not in every lens I buy
3. Makes my overall gear lighter
4. Six axis stabilization while optical has three
I don’t need to point out the advantages of optical since you already know that. Cheers! 😊
