The idea would be that all stills, instead of being just a single still, are actually multiple stills that can be stacked on top of one another in order to reduce noise and reduce motion blur, as well as increase dynamic range.

Of course, this would need a camera with much faster sensor readouts, which should be possible with Sony's next generation of stacked sensors.

I would love that. I'm incredibly curious to see where things are headed, because it feels like this has to be the way forwards.

Of course, storing 100 or 10,000 stills would up storage requirements dramatically -- but then lossless compression should bring that back down to entirely reasonable levels.

Because all you really have to do is compute the "average" image across the entire exposure (or at various "keyframes" if there's significant motion) and then encode the differences from those, which is trivial to compress.

I really hope this is something we see in the next 5 years, as opposed to 20 years.
