Physical Product: Dedicated Camera with Smartphone UI and Connectivity
A longtime photography enthusiast on Reddit shared their wish for a 'dream camera' that combines the user-friendly interface of a smartphone with the high-quality optics of a traditional camera. They had given up on SLRs because of their cumbersome interfaces. Another user even thought about getting the discussed phone as a secondary device just for its camera, showing a clear demand for specialized, easy-to-use imaging tools.
Product Suggestion: A dedicated 'Smart Camera.' This physical product would blend high-quality sensors and lens systems (possibly interchangeable) with a modern, intuitive, touch-based operating system similar to a smartphone's. Key features would include advanced computational photography, on-device editing tools, and seamless wireless connectivity for instant sharing and cloud integration.
Expected Benefits: This camera would appeal to photographers who want top-notch image quality without the steep learning curve and clunky interfaces of traditional high-end cameras. It would greatly improve the user experience from capturing to editing and sharing, making it attractive to both enthusiasts and content creators who value both optical excellence and modern, connected convenience. While there have been attempts in this direction, like the Android cameras mentioned in the discussion, the ongoing user 'dream' suggests a continued opportunity for a well-executed product in this niche.

Dang you mean a purpose built camera with a sensor 3 times the size of the phone's would give a better quality image? Who woulda thought!?

And yet the raw files — if we can even get them — will get walked by twenty year old APS-C DSLRs.

What i really want from oppo it's to have a ToF sensor for the front camera, a proper desktop mode, a better feeling to be a proper flagship, not to feel like a midrange device, a Snapdragon

I don't think it uses the full 1" of the camera sensor.

Ok, but what gives? I mean, it is at the price range of basically all "flagship" phones, so why is it so impressive that it is "one of the most impressive" or, in the words of gizmo, "*probab
