Is it a phone? Is it a camera?

[kjb]

Leica have just launched a phone ( in conjunction with Leitz) that has more camera features than many cameras

LEITZ PHONE 1 // Leitz Phone // World of Leica - Leica Camera AG (leica-camera.com)

20mps, 1.9f, 19mm (35mm equivalent) lens, RAW, 6x digital zoom, red dot......it doesnt look like it does video.

I cant work out if it's bonkers or awesome

Only available in Japan - at least for now.

I think I’d mislay that lens cap in the first five minutes…

And, knowing Leica, a replacement would be more than some decent cameras

On eBay already - fourpence short of £2k

... might even be genuine ...

I hope they'll do a Monochrom version.

Did'nt Samsung (I think) do something like this already. A camera with a built in uploading phone module.

The Leitz Phone 1 is actually a rebadged version of the Sharp Aquos R6
