Not quite sure what to make of this ...



From DPReview ...

From a design point of view the CM1 looks like a smartphone on one side and a high-end compact camera from the other. At 21mm the device is considerably thicker than most current high-end smartphones which is no surprise considering the the large image sensor.

With its impressive camera specification the CM1 is the closest thing we have seen to a true hybrid device. We are looking forward to get a test unit in our hands and see how it fares against the Nokia Lumia 1020 with its 1/1.5"-type sensor and other high-end models. No firm detail on regional availability have been given yet but we understand that the CM1 will be available for 900 Euros (approximately US$ 1160) from November in some countries.

Maybe it will be a replacement for my HTC One (M7) when it comes out of contract ...

If I get a 1" sensor camera, I'll want a decent lens to go with it. Not a compromised one to fit on a phone.
