PaPaLab, a Japan-based firm, has managed to create a camera, YC-3300, which comes in a size that is more or less like your regular cameras (or slightly bigger than a DSLR) but it can see the same colors that human eyes can see. Regular cameras can’t capture the same colors that human eyes can see. In the past, this could only be achieved using huge and impractical camera system.

The PaPaLab’s YC-3300 now comes in a small and practical form factor which lets the user to bring in and out just like the regular cameras and you can use it to take pictures with the same colors that human eyes can see. The YC-3300 is also dubbed as “full-visible-color-gamut camera”, it’ll be best used in medical field for photographing digital archives where precision in colors is highly needed.

The technology should have great potential to produce cameras with smaller form factor, such as a portable handheld, so it’ll then enter the consumer market one day.
