Description
To date, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 is the smartphone with the largest sensor, surpassing the Nokia 808 Pureview (2012) with 1/1.2" sensor, and the slimmest camera with 1" sensor at the same time. It is also the only smartphone that takes any external lens (37mm or any other with a step ring) like any other dedicated camera.
The combination of an f/2.8 lens and 1 inch sensor give it a hitherto unprecedented ability for (unsimulated) shallow depth of field. Forbes reserved judgement on the image quality given review samples were not available, writing "it remains to be seen whether a 1-inch sensor and Leica lens is enough to elevate the image quality of DMC-CM1 sufficiently high above the best smartphones".[2]
It is able to record video with 2160p at 15 frames per second and 1080p at 30 frames per second.[1] It is equipped with manual camera controls and allows for a maximum light sensitivity of ISO 25600.[3][4]
