Hi UHH Gang...
First: I prefer to 'realistically' CAPTURE a given portrait and or action; I do NOT wish to 'CREATE' my 'concept of reality', using post processing.
Second: I recently saw a product which I looked up on Google it was a device (then in kick starter), called: 'Arsenal'.
Third: Here are the results of my search:
Google-Search: (Best price for DSLR-Camera HDR-Device: Arsenal)

Please be sure to FIRST view the video with in the above LINK. -- Then tell me if you believe it would work and improve the IQ, with a camera such as the Cannon SX60HS or the Nikon-P900.

The Link you provide is simply a Google "Search" result. What is the Link to the Video?

I am sure you will have many replies to your questions. Arsenal seems as another device that will make photography automatic for photographers, if that is what photographers want.
My greatest enjoyment of photography is doing what I do under my control. When I go to editing programs I do my best to keep reality.
This seems to me as a great technological step in digital photography. Only through testing we will know how good it is reaching the correct exposure and colors.

RonBoyd

Probably. $250 seems a bit much, though.

I have been watching the development of this device and it will do far more than just determine correct exposure settings. This is only a teaser: https://witharsenal.com/

An example is to have it autofocus in very dark conditions by taking a number of photos and to pick the one that is in best focus. I like the focus stacking that it can do. And the HDR capability with more options than in-camera can do. And so on. I pre-ordered for $175 (30% less than the suggested price of $250 once released): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/arsenal-the-intelligent-camera-assistant--2#/

I didn't see the SX60 on the list of compatible cameras.

RonBoyd

I wondered that, too. The USP cable end looks to be the wrong type for the SX60IS.

Hi 'Ron Boyd'... --- "Oh PHOOEY.!"
...I wonder about comparability with the Samsung super-zoom-bridge with a 20mm low end.?

Don't denigrate p/p so quickly. The simple acts of cropping, straightening or brightening do not markedly affect the true nature of a photograph, but are, indeed, post processing, yet I don't believe that they affect "reality." Did you shoot in film days and have your photos developed? Ever see the numbers on the back of a photo? Those were the post processing changes done prior to printing.

It slices, it dices, it even makes waffle cuts and it will cook a roast in less than three minutes....

I remember back in the olden days when we had to look at the back of the 3X5 or 4X6 prints that we brought home from Meijers (or Normans Camera) and decipher the markings to arrive at our initial settings on our enlarger in the basement. Yes, Normans Camera and Meijers routinely did post processing on all our pictures so the colors would match their idea of what they should be for that batch of film, those chemicals and the paper they were using in their machines. For important work, where we included a grey card, we would special order "No Post Processing" (actually, Print in manual). Today, we have wrenched that task away from the local film processor, and all of a sudden, people think the post processing that has gone into every good photo since Brady and Adams somehow is antithetical to good photography.

Send your photos to a lab you trust or learn to do your own post processing and lets stop publishing half baked photographs. The difference between an amateur and a professional is not whether he uses a phone or a Hasslebaad, it is how he approaches photography and what he does with the output of the photon capture system in the device he uses.

You may still get in at $175.

There is a list of cameras that will be supported at release. And more will be added at a later date. Some cameras will never be supported that lack the means to be controlled externally.

Hi 'JimH113'... --- Where do I find that List.???
