From what i’ve read about this, while the sensor is 41MP sensor (which is a tiny tiny sensor) the actual output file i’ve heard is only 8MP. the benefit is that by starting with a large file to reduce noise at higher ISOs that plague camera phones (due to the small sensors) and better image quality.
Also due to phone size and internal space, the CPU usually sits behind the sensor and shooting full HD video on a sensor that essentially sits ontop the CPU causes over heating issues quickly.

It’ll be interesting to see where they go from here, but at some point on your phone you just want a fun camera not a serious one.

I think you forgot to mention, that the sensor size of this thing is HUGE, bigger than any PS in the market, almost 75% of the size of a Nikon 1 … the sensor, the lens and the way the 41 MPX are used to generate noise free, high DR 5-8mpx images is not gimmick at all … this is a true photographic evolution, I wonder why NO ONE (canon, nikon, sony, panasonic) did this before.

I think we are taking this the entirely wrong way. I cant think of the countless times when I am out taking pictures and I have felt the need to make a phone call.

But on a more serious note, who is for a way to tether your camera to your cell phone? it would be so convenient to just need to take my phone out when i’m on the subway or if i don’t feel comfortable opening up my camera bag. that way I could tag all the photos I like during the day so I can later possess the selected photos on my PC when i’m back at home

Is that small of a lens even sharp enough to use a 41mp sensor.

This is a nice P&S camera that you can talk on. I would rather have a nice phone I can take pictures with :)
