I wonder how this compares to similar initiatives by e.g. Sony [0] and Leica [1].

Canon gave users the option to sign their photographs with "add original decision data". It got cracked.

and you think this rushed product won't be?

I would broadly expect software made by most camera brands to be shit, while I would expect a developer who creates their own hardware projects (generally, not talking specifically about cameras) to range from idiots who have no idea what they're doing (like me, though to be fair I also wouldn't release it believing it to be good) to highly skilled coders who would get it right despite being on their own.

So I wouldn't automatically assume that a product like this would be better designed, but I would think there's a chance it might have been!


Probably won't be cracked, as there will be little to no interest as such device will have no use in any professional setting.

I knew that Leica is generally expensive, but the model on the review is insanely expensive (over 10K USD?). It is not even comparable.

It's not the camera that is important though, but the technology:

Compared to those, this is like a weekend project that a high school student could accomplish.
