Parrot introduces Bebop and new controller | IEEE Spectrum
“With Bebop, Parrot is focusing very heavily on incredibly awesome, feature-rich video, as evidenced by the gigantic, 14-megapixel camera with fish-eye lens attached to the front part of the drone … the sensor has a field of view of 180 degrees, but when it sends video to the user’s phone or tablet, it uses only a smaller subset of the available pixels.”
