A Very Strange Smartphone...

what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today I've got something that I've actually had my eye on for a little while what we're looking at is a Panasonic product the DMC - cm-1 from the Lumix line so everything so far is pointing at camera but the weird part is it's also a phone I for a long time have been interested in kind of the ultimate social Instagram Twitter camera let me just let me just open it up this guy features a one-inch sensor that's the same size as the Sony rx100 that is a substantial sensor and look at it but it's not but it's still you know it's kind of like the size at least from the front of a phone now granted it's it's fatter it's not crazy fat you got a nice big aperture on the lens at the 2.8 you have a dedicated shutter button camera switch over here the power switch there's even a little tiny forward facing camera can you catch that there jack kind of an unusual layout the headphone jack is in this location here and I assume this is where you'll put your memory card no that's your USB port there we go SIM card slot and micro SD XC so what else do we have pretty straightforward to charge a big charger holy smokes oh it is a Qualcomm quick charge or 2.0 okay so it's gonna charge faster alright this is a quicker publishing method for photography that looks more like dedicated camera photography look at my hands right now there we go update successful and we have actually fairly a fairly stock looking Android 5.0 4k photo 4k pre burst so you see it actually checked that out J it extends a little bit it's not huge I'm kicking it old school when I was a little kid and I got a new gadget I would take the user manual to bed as my reading before I went to sleep this was my nudie magazine right here Panasonic is positioning this as a connected camera not a smartphone the lens also happens to be fixed so might have been nice to have a little bit of zoom here but they've opted for a fixed lens like a lot of other smartphones in order to protect the form factor now the camera app is going to be what you're most interested in you can launch it a couple of different ways either just by tapping the icon or this little slide at the top which is gonna get you access a lot quicker you can see the autofocus working here as I move in boom boom boom boom you guys hear that like that's that's quick certainly a photo first experience it's just different and of course having complete manual control you can map this ring on the front for focus zoom whatever you want now I wouldn't recommend using the zoom it is a fixed focal length so you're working what you're working with digital zoom they're never advisable you're only going to be using a portion of the sensor granted you're looking at a one inch sensor here which is about seven times bigger than your average smartphone sensor so if there were a sensor to use digital zoom on this would be it the 4k video is only operating at 15 FPS so you might hope at this price point to be getting 4k at 30fps since a lot of phones do that but again I feel like this is mostly aimed at still photos let's see how wide this guy is one thing you can do here that you couldn't necessarily do as easily with a lot of other cameras on the market is do like an automatic backup right you could connect your Google Drive or use Google photos with it whatever you want to do because you've got an trade right here a couple of 4k features here it's got something called pre burst which is going to actually be recording bursts of 4k resolution frames prior to you hitting the record button if you're anticipating action then you can set up prefers and then when that action happens actually go back in time so you didn't miss it what would you say like what is it business on the front party on the back or would it be the other way around business on the back party on the front I like seeing when tech companies do something strange and vicious if you will they're not gonna sell a ton of these but they decided to make it anyways let's say I got this thing in my pocket let's do a quick boom slide over to the camera shot boom and that's that's like a macro focus situation look how quickly look how quickly it gets focus on me maybe I'm too excited about this I certainly don't look excited in this frame right here but anywhere you want to you want to share still images this is probably the best you're going to be able to do immediately this is the CM one DM c - CM one from panasonic i think we're gonna have some fun together we've obviously gone to the extreme here what exactly went down i'm gonna pull this out
