DISCLAIMER: you'll pretty much only understand this if you understand how camera stuff works but i'll try explaining that in this thread lmao this won't go well ok here we gooo
By the way, if you see any bold words, go the bottom of the thread; that's where you'll find the definitions.
So, about 200,000 years ago, a new camera came out; it was called the 'Eyeball'. Despite how far in the past this camera existed, it might actually be the most futuristic camera we can ever create, despite how old it is.
See, the top of the line cameras right now, such as the Hasselblad X1D and the Pentax 645Z are both amazing cameras which can take the most amazing photos on any DSLR right now, but the eyeball is way ahead of them. And the best thing is, you can get TWO of them, for free.
Now, why is this camera so futuristic? Well, this is what the eyeball looks like:
Each camera comes in different colours, by the way; the model here is the Teal Blue colour, there's also a chocolate brown, a slate black and an emerald green colour, which is the limited edition one. Anyways, the first thing you might notice is that in this camera, there is no aperture to be seen, yet it still absorbs the MOST light out of any DSLR right now! And even though the aperture is not adjustable... there really is no point on this!
The aperture is f/0.0 on this DSLR, but it absorbs light - here's how it does that.
On the outside of the eye is the cornea, which is where the light has to pass through so that the camera can take a picture of the object, and the cornea having no aperture, is already the most futuristic thing ever. I won't go into too much detail, but yeah. No aperture.
Also, how does the eyeball perceive colours?
Say you're taking a picture of a lemon. Light hits the lemon and the yellow light is reflected into the eyeball and into the back of it which is where the company created the light-sensitive 'Retina', and here is when another cool thing comes in - the cones.
Cones are what the company calls a 'photoreceptor', which are tiny cells in the retina that respond to the light rebounded off of the object. The retina includes around 7 MILLION of these cones, and they are mostly concentrated on a 0.3-millimetre spot on the retina called the 'fovea centralis'.
Now, around 65% of these cones strongly respond to red light, with around a third responding strongly to green light and only 2% respond strongly to blue light. Crazy, hm?
Our light here will stimulate these cones at different levels of degrees, and the company also engineered the 'brain' (which comes included in the box) and the eyeballs are connected to the brain and they then find out that this colour being generated is yellow! And that too, is very, very, futuristic, especially compared to other cameras. This means that the camera has a crazy megapixel count of 576. Just let that sink in. Actually, I'm just gonna list what the eyeball lacks compared to SMARTPHONE cameras, which is still rocks at. Take a look.
- Aperture
- Focal Length
- Megapixel
- Flash
- Shutter Button
- Slow-Mo video
- Storage / SD Card Slot
There's more, too.
The way they perceive colour has something else to it. One of the eyeballs you get take a more sRGB sort of image, more dull and muted and the other eye takes a more DCI-P3 sort of image and they are mixed together to make a pretty goddamn good-looking picture. DxOMark actually haven't been able to rate it because its score would be so high that they would be afraid they would be sued due to their choice to making this so high (It would be an estimated 3,256 points)
Compared to the smartphone world, most phones can record video at 4K30fps, with the iPhone X being able to record 4K at 60fps, which is pretty impressive. This camera does NOT record video. Also, doesn't take photos. It can record video in 1024K.
Yeah, this is free. HEH?
Every second, this camera takes a picture when the eye-lid falls down and droops over the eyeball to make sure that the eyeball has moisture (yes the eyeball is waterproof too). So you may think, how much storage does this camera have?
Back to the 'brain'. Each time the camera 'blinks' the picture is sent up to the brain, which can hold an
estimated 1,000GB of storage*, which is expandable if you give it some surgery, but I would not recommend it.
*it's true look it up
Would I recommend the actual DSLR though? Heck yes!

You may also notice that some phones have TWO cameras. Usually, these are the camera combinations:
Wide-Angle + Telephoto (2x optical zoom)
Wide-Angle + Ultra Wide Angle
Wide-Angle + Monochrome
Most phones have a 'Telephoto' lens (2x optical zoom lens) and they usually have an aperture of f/2.2 to f/2.8, meaning they are not as well in low light, and this is usually the case for selfie cameras, usually with an aperture of f/2.0 to f/2.4. Keep note that usually Monochrome sensors tend to have the same aperture as the main shooter, as demonstrated by the Huawei Mate 10 Pro with dual f/1.6 camera lenses - pretty impressive.

One megapixel is equivalent to 1,048,576 pixels. Megapixels are a unit of graphic resolution which is usually how we say the sharpness of a camera. Most smartphone cameras have 12MP-26MP on the back, usually around 16 or 20 being the average MP count.
Selfie cameras usually have 5MP of 8MP in them, sometimes with 16MP.

The focal length is commonly known as the distance between the centre of a lens and its focus. A lot of phones have a 28mm focal length for their main lens, but in telephoto lenses, the focal length is higher so that the lens will have an optical zoom, for example, the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 both have telephoto lenses with focal lengths of 56mm, whereas the LG V30 which has a secondary ultra wide-angle lens has a focal length of 13mm.
A button which you press which takes a photo.
Most phones can record slow-motion video at 1080p in 120 frames per second, and the phone which can record 1080p slow-mo at 240fps is the iPhone X which a lot of DSLRs actually cannot do!
The higher the fps count, the slower the video is. But the iPhone X is nothing compared to the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which can record 720p at almost 1,000fps - for context, 1 second you record takes 32 seconds to playback. Mind is blown.

These are both called colour gamuts. I can't be asked to define them i'm sleepy bye
