MWC 2015: Panasonic Lumix CM1 only sometimes is a smartphone

About the fact that Panasonic Lumix CM1 is not a smartphone told me Taketoshi Ochi at the stand of the Japanese company. I was ashamed, I apologized and asked to talk about the photo camera, which is sometimes just a smartphone.

I was ashamed honestly. I should have known such a basic thing about such a special device. To erase the bad impression, I boasted of the knowledge acquired before the MWC 2015 as technical specification of Lumix CM1 was known earlier.

The Leica lens makes a huge impression, but also the overall performance of the device. One may feel that it holds in the hands the premium compact with an ergonomically designed housing and a very good display.

Lumix CM1 records video in 4K and takes brilliant pictures. Mr. Taketoshi wanted to show me the opportunity to rewind the 4K film in real time, and the possibility to select any frame with one finger to save it as a picture. He showed me the two albums with amateur photos taken primarily in Japan.

As the smartphone Lumix CM1 works well. It has a Snapdragon 801, 2 GB of RAM and runs on Android 4.4. The display has only 4.7 inches and runs at the FHD resolution. I think that the battery could be a bit more roomy, because 2600 mAh may be sufficient for a short time with the ability to record such great videos.

I can only sigh heavily, agreeing with this, that the best davices do not appear in too many markets outside of the Far East. And even harder - because the price of the model Lumix CM1 can break the toughest one. Soon there will be available in Japan special contoured hard covers for this camera. Mr. Taketoshi didn't say whether the leather is real or artificial - rather the latter. Time for a trip to Tokyo or to Osaka. I've seen good photos taken at these places, so I think it is worth.
