Panasonic DMC-DM1P: a Camera that is a Phone, now in stock
Get Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1P 16GB Camera and Smartphone (Unlocked) at B&H Photo.
The Panasonic DMC-DM1P camera-phone (vs a phone-camera as is the iPhone) is now in stock. See Apple iPhone is a Phone with Camera, Panasonic DMC-DM1P is a Camera with Phone. Note that it is an UNLOCKED phone that has a reasonably large sensor and 4K video and a retina display
- GSM / 4G LTE Capable
- North American Variant
- 1" 20.1 MP High Sensitivity MOS Sensor
- Wide 28mm f/2.8 Leica DC Elmarit Lens
I’m pleased to see crossover concepts take their stab at it, but I’d like to see it taken further: get that retina display onto the back of a Nikon D810 and Canon 5DS R (built in). Then at least the big form factor gets a lot more visually appealing in one way.
Given that many of the add-ons for iPhone such as the Olympus Air at around $600, the price of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1P 16GB is in line with what such things can be expected to cost; the real cost of an iPhone 6 Plus is around $900 (without carrier subsidies). Still, it seems a tough row to hoe against the iPhone.
