Photographic technology is now over the moon. Just like your cell phone, you can download applications to command your camera. Read on for more.

Hope you are familiar with the Sanford University. It is already involved in the act of introducing new technologies in Photography, such as unbelievable 3D Camera with 12,616 lenses. To flaunt another sensational history, they are now in the process of developing an open-source digital camera. If this is going to workout, you don't need to depend upon the software that comes pre-installed by the manufacturer. You can just download applications to your open-platform cameras. This would obviously turn out to be a feast for the programmers around the world to develop techniques and algorithms to enhance photography, and paves way to create exceptional software that commands and controls the focus, exposure, shutter speed, flash, etc.

The Stanford camera (dubbed Frankencamera) will be composed of different parts such as Texas Instrument's "system on a chip" running Linux with image and general processors and a small LCD screen, Nokia N95 cell phone - imaging chip, and off-the-shelf Canon lenses combined with actuators to give the camera its fine-tuned software control. This open source camera might come up with an enhancement in video capture. The concept planned is to use high resolution still images to enhance the video resolution. The project is being benefited from the support of Nokia, Adobe Systems, Kodak, and Hewlett-Packard, and the price of the device is expected to be $1000. No wonder, this open-source is definitely going to bring a revolution in the camera manufacturing industry.
