>>2621476wow, no need to get mad over a simple question
and no, the demand is there. if people could ditch their GR and PENs for a cell phone with equal quality, whats the point in carrying 2 devices?
>Chances are very good that the issues you're having with the image quality are coming from your inabilityno, they're coming from the sensor's inability to shoot low light without shooting off an LED flash (that again you have no control over power of). not to mention lack of dynamic range
>>2621467 summed up your post in much fewer words
I don't understand why you think it's crazy to put a larger sensor and a larger lens on the phone, Nokia Lumia line has done it, Panasonic has done it, and only reason those weren't big sellers was because of the phone they were on (not samsung/apple).
speaking of size, if you make all the physical buttons digital, you reduce a lot of the size, again look at the Nokia 1020
>it's going to cost you $4000combine a GR and iphone 6 and the price won't get past $1000, so how do you figure it would cost twice as much? plus, most people get their phone costs subsidized by their network carrier with a 2 year contract. I hate to keep bringing up the Nokia 1020, but it had seen the market and it wasn't $4000, it was $500 NIB and $100 with contract (same as iphone)
I decided to do some research myself:
http://thenewcamera.com/sony-announces-stacked-sensor-with-phase-detection-technology/give you an idea, a 1/2.4" sensor is right about the size that most bridge cameras use. which allows for ISO performance into the 10k range.
finally, look at the note 4 camera. you could expand that 2mm on each size, which is a lot for a camera sensor when we get to comparative size. loads better resolution and dynamic range between 1/2.4 vs the 1/3.2. nokia's had 1/1.5, which was actually amazing.
in conclusion, if they were to stick a 1/2" camera in the iphone, I would be insanely content
