One way to move away from the shrinking compact camera and fixed lens cameras is to “try” to offer a similar experience on smartphone cameras. That is exactly what Samsung is doing with the smartphone zoom series.
And now Samsung will introduce at least three new smartphones with zoom lenses: The C125, C600 and C805. We will see if those smartphone-camera hybrids will succeed on the market! Possible announcement could be CES (but this hasn’t been confirmed yet).

My wishlist is a bit late for christmas, but here it is:
– Dual camera or more
– Different properties on the cameras
– Smart software for smart combining of the pictures. 3D, HDR, frame alternation high framerate, super resolution, selective focus and more
– Dedicated camera wheels, buttons and lens rings.
– Not thicker
I like it. Just hope its a better phone than an iPhone (lack of volume). Also an automatic lens cap would be nice, since being kept in a pocket all the time will mean dust.
What do you like? The picture of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom?
And these will of course have Touch LCD And yet Sony will not put LCD Touch ability on their cameras and we all have smart phones and of course Fuji tailors to the Purists so no Touch Personally I think the lens is still the problem they still are large if the are any good The Panasonic with m43 sensor can make up a bit for a slower glass but I will still carry both
we need one with the 1 inch sensor and correct IQ. The actual one has horrible IQ.
