   Samsung EVP Patrick Chomet told TechRadar recently:
   
   > There was a very nice video by Marques Brownlee last year on the moon picture. Everyone was like, ‘Is it fake? Is it not fake?’ There was a debate around what constitutes a real picture. And actually, there is no such thing as a real picture. As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you’re seeing], and it doesn’t mean anything. There is no real picture. You can try to define a real picture by saying, ‘I took that picture’, but if you used AI to optimize the zoom, the autofocus, the scene – is it real? Or is it all filters? There is no real picture, full stop.

     @feld there's a long walk from lenses, AE, AF, etc - to silently superimposing.

     We just found out we're quite a ways down the slippery slope that we thought we were still peering at.

     @mWare I disagree, the level of in-camera processing is way more complex than people realize. If we didn't have the sensor assisted autofocus, subject detection, the ability to compensate for rolling shutter, etc photography would be ass unless you were an expert.
     
     The closest to "pure" photography is gonna be film or the very early DSLR but their quality was awful compared to film.
     
     Everyone's camera is lying now, but we think it's normal.

     @mWare even panorama and long-exposure is insane.
