With this camera and with this lens, astrophotography was a blast. This Hasselblot, just like its predecessor, has a built-in 1 TB SSD, which makes processing these photos fairly fast. It's not blazingly instant or anything like that, but at no point did I feel like it was drastically slowing me down.And as you saw, I was doing a lot of Astrophoto time-lapses. And for that, you do have to set the delay to be a couple of seconds just to be sure that you get all those photos done. And if you need expanded sto ...

The Verge· 2025-08-26 12:00
[Music] Okay, I'm going to take this slowly. These are some of my favorite photos taken with the Hasselblot X2D 100C Mark II. It is Hasselblot's first update to its flagship digital media format camera in about 3 years and it comes with some pretty exciting new features.So, for one, it has lighter autofocusing. It is also the first media format camera capable of taking HDR photos and it has a 10 stop inbody stabilization and also it just looks stunning.

Pixel phones put generative AI in the camera. #Vergecast

They put AI in the camera is the short version. This is only on the Pro in the Pro XL and it's only in this feature called ProRes zoom which is kind of digital zoom. It's when you get past 30x all the way up to 100.So typically like garbage territory of like you're not getting a good photo from that. There's just not enough information for any kind of processing to do anything with it. So Google was like, "What if we put generative AI in here and had it try to figure out what you're taking a picture of?" So ...
