My wife has only one question... how much?

I'm a bit shocked how anti many people are about a optically high-quality camera phone. It makes sense to me. Sure, it's not for everyone but there is a market for it.

My wife's a photographer... sure, she has a proper SLR but she loves the idea of a decent snapper with phone capabilities ...and even a lens that size makes a big difference.

Make it waterproof to 50ft and shock resistant and I'd buy one. Kind of like a go-pro and a nice phone combined. That would be my ideal device.

A lot would depend on how far the lens protrudes beyond the phone body. I remember around 14-15 years ago when Casio came out with their first avatar of Exilim range of cameras. These were truly the first credit card size cameras around 7 to 8 mm thick. These employed the world's first ceramic lens having very high refractive index. If the lens elements on this camera are made out of such glass it just might be pocketable.

35mm equivalent of 24-240mm focal length apparently.
