Would have been nice if Samsung used Schneider lens like they do on their top compact cameras. But that may have bumped up the price. I used to have the Samsung EX1 camera with Schneider lens @ f1.9 full manual control & it took amazing images. But I tripped on a step in Somerset & smashed it

No doubt - Galaxy K Zoom is the Best android cameraphone. Sensor quality is great , but big 10x zoom take down image quality in the ending. I make few samples with little crop and resized to 8mp , comments?

Funny...
The IQ is exactly the SAME of Xperia Z2 but being a Sony device it goes automatically to a lower level.
What'a coherency...

too narrow.. you might as well just crop the center of the photo
They look like they were taken with an iPhone and posted to instagram

That 10x optics is just a bottleneck, the sensor could be better off coupled with a shorter zoom and constant aperture lens like for example 24-72 F2.8 equivalent. In all fairness though it looks great from the back (I'm liking that texture finish Samsung is using on their new generation galaxies, The front face could use some fresher design

Of course you'll like it.
If Samsung launch a Xperia Z2 only with Samsung name printed magically you'll change your mind.

and its so funny how Samsung goes back to Sony's BSI sensor for its Camera centric smartphone instead of using its own ISOCELL
i think samsung knows ISOCELL is a pure Crap against Sony's BSI
Doesn't developing a sensor take a very long time and a lot of resources? It's taken Samsung quite sometime to develop the ISOCELL for the Galaxy S5 and I doubt the ISOCELL is yet at a point where it meets the requirements for what they wanted in the Galaxy K Zoom including build cost. We will see the ISOCELL make a return in the Note 4, it seems they are keeping the ISOCELL for their flagships, which makes sense, it was probably much cheaper to just buy a Sony sensor rather than develop a whole new sensor for what is at the end of the day a mid end phone with an optical zoom camera. Just makes logical sense.

that does not make sense. the ISOCELL sensor is already available. they no longer have to develop anything. the technology already exists. it's even going to be more cost efficient if they use it in more products to spread the R&D costs associated with it. i'm not really sure but based on the sample photos released on mobile-review.com, the S5 photos look better than that of K Zoom's (without pixel peeping). it's a different story when you look into the full resolution crops.
also, wouldn't it be better for the samsung brand to use isocell in their top cameraphone since they are also aiming at selling mobile camera sensors? they're sending the wrong message in ditching isocell for their supposedly best cameraphone.

You're forgetting that the Galaxy K Zoom is a mid end phone at the end of the day, so the way I see it they are keeping ISOCELL for the high end, and probably next year we will see a Galaxy K2 Zoom with ISOCELL, remember even the Galaxy S4 Zoom wasn't given the best optics so Samsung's Zoom series of phones are not their best camera phones, I think their point is the optical zoom capability mainly.
you're forgetting that it's a cameraphone so it should have samsung's best optics. also, as i said, samsung plans to compete with sony as a mobile camera sensor supplier. why should they not make greater use of their homegrown tech?
remember that when the galaxy s4 zoom was released, it had the best camera tech samsung could put in a smartphone. it had the highest MP count (16MP vs 13MP for the flagship s4).
i really have high hopes for this device. i want it to r*pe those awful pureview fanatics. we've seen how galaxy s5 was enough to make them realize that their "physics wins" argument does not apply when their device maker does not know how to make the most of their camera modules.

The K Zoom won't be a patch on the 1020.
Much bigger sensor plus the ability to zoom in 25x after the photo is taken.
