I’ve covered this in both my initial review and my 3-weeks-later review, but that particularly bad bit of intel just keeps making the rounds, so I wanted to do proper video and a real explainer to lay it to rest once and for all.

Add internet and… wildfire.

But, if you dig into why people are concerned and you go beyond those who’s sole intent is to sensationalize, you get to something truly fascinating:

The ongoing evolution for camera system to computational photography system.

Here's what's really, actually, truly, technically happening!
