"As mentioned already, Nokia tried the "photography first" smartphonecamera - it didn't fly."
It didn't fly largely because it was running a 3rd rate OS that no one really wanted.
- kpil 10y agoAlso, "Nokia" is not a camera. But anyway, there is probably a customer segment, but it might not be that large. But the camera design language make sense, i think, especially the leather and larger knobs - even on a phone. Functional-ish instead of apple minimalist - at least I can tell a difference from the rest. But then maybe they should have a real lens and not a faked plastic thing around it to make it look bigger.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoThere should be a modular sensor/lens assembly that lets you swap between a standard low profile phone cam and a larger sensor with true optical zoom, shutter, and aperture control. Throw in a simulated focus ring and you'd have a saleable product.
