Startup "Light" developed a compact camera that produces 52 megapixel photos with 16 lenses & modules with different focal lengths. It is possible to produce photos of quality comparable to a compact but authentic digital single lens, and 4K movies can also be taken.

This is an awesome appearance that a large variety of lenses are mounted on the back of "L16" as much as possible.


It uses five lenses with a focal length of 35 mm, five lenses of 70 mm and six lenses of 150 mm, so even if you zoom in, you can take high-quality pictures.


When you remove the cover it looks something like this. The modules are crammed tightly.


L16 has Android and Wi-Fi, so you can share what you shot with people immediately. Touch screen display is 5 inches, it is bigger than smart phone size feeling.


Light Dave Grannan says "billions of dollars (hundreds of billions of dollars) were spent on developing smartphone-sized cameras."


Currently we are limiting the number and planning reserved sales for 1299 dollars (about 160,000 yen). Reservation and sales will be scheduled for 200,000 yen after November 6, and full-scale general sales are expected to start from the summer of 2016.
