Next Generation Night Vision: This 5,000,000 ISO Camera Makes Nighttime Look Like Daytime

This is incredible! A company called SPI has developed a camera so absurdly sensitive that the thing can shoot on a moonless night and make the resulting footage look like it was shot under the sun. And the X27, as it’s called, does this in real time, in full color. Take a look at this:

It’s hard to believe that was shot at night, until the camera pans up to the stars.

The difference is, quite literally, night and day. And while Hollywood could save a bundle on lighting costs here, it is of course the military that’s going to get first crack at this.
