I looked at the Alice camera, and immediately had to suppress the urge to sign up for the kickstarter while I took a step back to consider that this will end up in the tech junk drawer after a few novelty outings.
It fails the same 'one extra thing to carry around and keep protected while not in use, which is most of the time' test as small mirrorless point and shoots and micro four thirds interchangeable lens cameras ( speaking as a long time OM-D user and enthusiast)
And if it's possible to affix it to my phone it will also get left home sooner rather than later, because now all of my phone accessories, mag safe chargers, car mounts, cases, etc no longer fit, which makes it cumbersome to carry around and use as a phone.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoFunny I forget about my phone and barely use it, while my Olympus PEN E-PL8 goes with me everywhere :-) My phone gets used for Android Auto and 2FA and that's about it. But to me the Alice thing is the worst of both worlds. Still need to use the stupid touchscreen LCD (which sucks for my aging eyes), doesn't have analog controls. But is still a bulkyish object. Hang anything other than a pancake lens on that, and the ergonomics are going to blow, too.
