To start off, I’d like to share a personal industrial design project from a while ago: a concept of what a semi-pro camera system for smartphones might look like (www.behance.net)

Intended mainly as a thought experiment — I tried to come up with a seamless and easy to use system with various accessories, like lenses, filters and blinds, that wouldn’t feel clunky.

I agree. Which is why I want a moderate sized sensor in a format that can attach to my phone. Small enough the lenses are easy to carry, but multiple times larger than what will fit in a phone.

Also, much of the amazing things phones are able to pull off with absurdly small sensors is because of processing. My iPhone has a special chip just for image processing. Many things can be done in software. My DSLR’s are slow, clunky, and the software rarely changes much post purchase.

My use case would be travel. Phone cameras today are terrible anywhere you need a telephoto lens. But I also rarely want to carry a full dslr (I own several). And, I want to easily share photos as I take them. Today I use my phone and leave my big cameras at home. There are many times I don’t even bother getting it out of my pocket because I know taking the photo I could easily take with my SLR would be impossible.
