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 have always wanted something like this! The processor in our phones are far more powerful than any camera, so why not use it. Same with the screen. And I want all images geotagged, something a phone has built in. And importantly, I want my images on my phone for sharing. Just need a little bigger sensor and a way to attach lenses. I always thought the old Nikon 1 system would make a great starting point.

    Sony and Olympus have had interchangeable lens systems that attach to smartphones.

    Look up Olympus Air.

      Yeah, and arguably those systems were clunky to use, barely had any quality improvements over the native cameras, awkward to attach/detach and never really caught on.

      This in part is why I made the project — it’s a thought experiment on how to make such a product more seamless and user-friendly. So I guess sorry if it came across as presenting a completely new idea, it wasn’t intended as such. It’s an attempt to revise an unsuccessful idea considering more modern solutions.
