I currently have an iPhone 5s (I've had iPhones since an iPhone 3G in 2008) and for the first time am considering that my next phone might be something else. A photographer friend recent got the LG-G4 which has been getting great reviews for its camera.

I use a mac and have been increasingly frustrated with Apple's software on that and on my iPhone. The TouchID on my phone is a lovely idea but it just doesn't work for me - who knows what's wrong with my thumbs? Possibly their new camera will be breathtaking, but given the mounting frustrations over various Apple products, color me skeptical.

I never had enough money for Apple's over priced products.

I wonder why they are only using 2 lenses?  They are so small, I think mobile phones could use 8 easily.  This isn't a phone and 16 lenses is overkill but if they could use 8 and shrink it down, might not need the DSLR http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/08/light-l16-camera-52-megapixel-photos (http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/08/light-l16-camera-52-megapixel-photos)
Just seen they are doing a mobile phone version
