Instead of trying to focus on software and connectivity — these camera companies need to zero in on two things they know really well: lenses and sensors. They should be thinking about how they can make their “glass” (aka lenses) work with the computer we carry around in our pockets. Sony was right in introducing its Q-series cameras that attached to the iPhone, but I think they introduced them a little too early. Today (or even tomorrow) if there was a Leica 35 mm standalone lens with a built in sensor and the clip-on unit working with the compute and software on the iPhone — I would pay good money for that.
