You might think it's 2022 and everyone using cellphone camera to take pictures/videos right? Why do i need this right? Nope, that's not the bubble i am living in. I have my smart phone for different purposes. Taking videos/pictures aren't in it. The quality is amazing though. I do a lot of YT videos and bunch of reviews on social media so i need something fast, reliable, and of course with highest quality pictures/videos. This camera has so much potential and i am just started to learn how to use it. It has so many features that i didn't know about. The world of DSLR is large and I am just at the tip of the iceberg. So much more to learn and feeling grateful to have this with me all the times. It's small and portable and has that awesome grip. Really cool !!!

I always wanted one of these multipme focal range cameras when they were introduced on the popular crowdfunding sites but had decided to wait and stick my with iPhone and Sony ILCE dslr setup. But when these became available on amazon I decided to press the buy shutter and order this L16 light. This rectangle which feels like the weight and shape of a 30000mah power bank provides focal lengths between 35mm and 150mm in addition to 4K video recording. The function that separates this camera from the transitional point and shoot is the depth-mapping technology to adjust my photo's depth of field and focus after it has been captured. No moving and motorized lens that are typically found on the conventional camera setups. This camera has 16 separate cameras across its front and computational imaging methods the combine the data captured by all sensors into a single output image. The jury is still out on editing and low light photos get grainy quickly but this is a great device to capture multiple shots simultaneously outdoors and decide which bokeh or background detail I want when back on the couch. Type C charging gets extra bonus points for me but would be very interested in finding attachments that use the square underneath with all the contacts.

This camera is a must have for beginners or professional photographers. It takes pictures that are clear and show every detail. This is rechargeable and lasts through my shoots. It has a ton of cameras on the front side that you see as soon as it comes out of the box. It's durable and will withstand a drop but try not to make a habit of it as everything has its limits and will break if pushed far enough. It's a must have for beautiful photo quality worthy photos

This is a very high tech camera with extensive capabilities. I’m just learning all the features but what I’ve discovered so far is super. I love the large screen viewfinder - it shows the picture nice and clear and you can quickly manipulate the exposure directly from there. You can also extensively edit within the screen manipulating and isolating particular images. It is wifi capable or you can connect for downloading in the traditional manner. It is certainly a conversation piece with all the lenses and they do their job capturing crisp clean images. It charges quickly and lasts a good amount to time during activity. I do recommend you charge after several days of inactivity. Perfect for photography buffs - I’m still learning all its capabilities and enjoying discovery at all it does.

I am a retired, professional photographer who used to shoot with two Canon 5D Mark IV DSLRs. Ever since my son was born, I had hung up the cameras in order to focus on raising him -- then two children followed for a total of three. I have rarely reached out to the Canon 5D's now to take photos because they are so bulky and inconvenient to carry around. Smartphones have come a long way and produce excellent images, especially when enhanced by the phone's artificial intelligence/processing algorithm. And so I find myself taking photos and videos mostly from the phones purely out of convenience for the moment unfolding right in front of my eyes. As well as smartphones -- like my Samsung Galaxy S21+ -- take photos, they are only really good when viewed on the camera or screen and when printed in small sizes for those of you who still do prints (we occasionally do.) One thing that most smartphones have in common is their lack of optical zooms. Nokia came out with some great phones when they were under Microsoft's ownership long ago. Alas, it did not sell well. This Light-branded camera caught my eye (no pun intended) with its multiples of lenses. There are 16 of them -- SIXTEEN! What would you do with so many lenses, you may ask? From zooming in or out, creating beautifully rich, blurred backgrounds or what not, each one serves a different purpose for the scene or artistic vision before you. The photographer gets to choose the focal length, aperture, and shutter speed, of course, mirroring very much a digital SLR's capabilities. The lenses are equivalent to 35mm, 70mm, and 150mm. The human eye sees at about 50mm. Camera is compact and fits in the back of my pants pocket, charges via USB-C (cable and USB 3.0 AC adapter included), and the 5x optical zoom helps ensure the zoomed images look much sharper than if done through my Samsung phone (whose optical zoom maxes out at 2x.) How do the images compare to my Canon 5D Mark IV. Well, comparing a $400 camera is not really fair to a $2,700 DSLR (which does not include the cost of the various, equivalent lenses that this Light one comes with). With that said, the photos came out pretty decent in well-lit environments with slightly cold color reproduction, good sharpness and background blur (bokeh), and dynamic range (capturing dark and light scenes pretty well with little banding). HDR images came out surprisingly good. In dark environments, the Canon is no match -- Light's images produced some banding and introduced quite a bit of noise as you cranked up the ISO level. You can see some artificial image processing in the final photos where it had attempted to denoise. Still, they came out better than my Samsung Galaxy S21+ phone's. Images can be viewed from the built-in 5" touchscreen, but like other, non-SLR cameras, there is no optical viewfinder to take photos through. You rely on the touchscreen to frame and photograph your subjects. The built-in flash is tiny and laughable, as expected, for a camera of this size. There is no connection option for an external flash. Neither do smartphones. I did not test the 4K video capability. WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth are built in for geotagging images and downloading them to the smartphone or computer. Memory is built-in with a generous 256GB. It cannot be expanded nor is it removable. What this means is that if the camera dies, the repair person or someone digging through your trash could potentially get a hold of your photos. So, be sure to destroy the camera if you want to get rid of your photos when it no longer works.
