As expected the price of the (now superceded) GTX760 has dropped by 40%.

I HATE smartphone footage. Apple, Samsung, whatever. They are utter crap. This is because a camera is "light capturing device" and smartphones have sensors which are the size of your smallest fingernail.

All the stuff about "20 megapixels" is pure nonsense. Sensor size is ALL that matters. (OK, that's a slight exaggeration. But sensor size is way, way, way more important).

So this new phone is intriguing - it has a one inch sensor, putting it on par with a lot of mid-range DSLR cameras. Of course it is also 900 euros.

Posts: 5 		They are saying that this Lumix CM-1 camera phone supports 4K video recording, a feature lately seen in many high-end smartphones like the Sony Experia & Moto X as well. Also, there are a number of art filter modes available, in addition to scene modes for common shooting situations. The feature of digital zoom and the LED light camera flash instead of a traditional camera flash work in its favor, but there is still no surety about the resolution of photographs you'll get on using the 4x digital zoom.
