Moon Conspiracy, Sneaky Photos, and AI: The Latest News in Photography
The authenticity of photos taken by newer Samsung smartphones is in question, as the device’s software appears to create detail in blurry, pixelated images. It is unclear whether Samsung is using AI to enhance the photos or retrieving existing images from its cloud. Additionally, the Beauty filters on social media platforms are becoming increasingly popular, with machines learning to create portraits that are almost perfect. However, some argue that these filters are a mass experiment that can have a negative effect on young girls and women.
In the world of cameras, Canon has announced that new lenses for the RF mount will be released continually, with around seven to eight a year. At the same time, the company’s imaging product manager has confirmed that the EOS M series in the APS-C form factor will still be available, although there is no talk of new devices. However, Canon has confirmed that they will release an EOS R1, a professional flagship mirrorless camera, which some believe will replace the R3 as its successor.
As AI continues to advance, some fear that photography may become more artificial and less authentic. However, it remains to be seen how technology will impact the field in the future. Until then, photographers and photography enthusiasts eagerly await the release of new cameras and lenses to capture the perfect photo.
