The Alice Camera is a new concept of a smartphone-connected camera module. It will feature an 11MP Micro Four Thirds image sensor with M4/3 lens mount. It should provide AI-based functions and quick sharing functions. The UK-manufactured Alice Camera will be available on Indiegogo in February 2021. In situations where the equipment weight and portability matters, many people are considering whether to only take a smartphone or an additional interchangeable lens camera. Modern smartphones not only feature fairly good cameras, but also a decent computational power. The team at photogram.ai developed a hybrid device called Alice Camera which can equip any smartphone with a Micro Four Thirds image sensor and lens mount. Let’s take a short look at its features and specs. Alice Camera – Sensor Back for Smartphones As I mentioned, Alice Camera is a compact camera body that can be mounted onto the back of almost any standard smartphone. Thanks to a thicker body and an ergonomic handle it provides better hand placement and stability than the smartphone alone. The specs are not final yet, but it seems the Alice Camera will be using Micro Four Thirds 11MP Quad Bayer HDR image sensor (4.63µm pixel size) along with the M4/3 lens mount. I think it is a good compromise between image sensor size and compact lens ecosystem. Additionally, it is very easy to adapt virtually any lens to the M4/3 lens mount thanks to its short flange distance. Alice Camera Concept Development.
