    I looked into buying a compact full-frame camera a couple years ago (the Sony a7c2), and came to the conclusion that the size and weight of lenses matters more than the camera body. So personally I don’t really see the point of making a camera body this small if you have to sacrifice on things like IBIS, an EVF, physical controls, and heat dissipation/recording limits.

    I'm surprised there aren't Android Cameras? At a reasonable-ish price?

    Like a Pixel 6a is $249 new right now.

    So, where's that same caliber of hardware, but as a camera-first?

      Same. Mobile phones have excellent image processing, displays, and interfaces, but small optics and sensors. Dedicated cameras have big optics and sensors, but bad/limited image processing, displays, and interfaces.

    I would imagine you'd need at least FP16, if not a full FP32, to get the ultimate camera.

    Cool looking camera, but OMG this website is HORRID. Brings my entire computer to a crawl, barely can scroll the article at all.

        You mean on a corporate managed device? Why yes, yes I am.

          Seems like your corp is mismanaging your device. Ad-blockers are one of the most important security improvements you can make to a modern web browser.

    Odd to have a modern camera released without photo signing
