The market of devices attached to smartphones enhancing their photo/video capabilities is heating up. Just a few days ago we reported about SwitchLens, a compact Micro Four Thirds smartphone camera, currently being introduced via Kickstarter. Now, hot on the heels of this announcement, Photogram, the company behind this project, announced that their long-awaited Alice Camera will begin shipping soon. After three years of development and a crowdfunding campaign, the AI-powered Micro Four Thirds camera that attaches to iOS and Android smartphones will be available for pre-order from July 15th, 2024. Let’s take a look at it! Photogram is a UK-based startup that began working on the Alice Camera in 2020. In 2021, we interviewed the company’s CEO, Vishal Kumar, who explained the concept and what was behind the camera. At that stage, the company did not have the prototype yet, but we learned about the specs and the details that would make the camera different from others. Three years have passed since then, and now the company has announced the proposed shipping dates for the camera. A quick look at the Alice Camera As we learned from Kumar’s interview, the Alice Camera aims to be the bridge between mirrorless cameras and smartphones. While the smartphone works as a monitoring, controlling, and sharing tool, the camera will deal with everything else. It will allow the use of interchangeable lenses, a smartphone-like user experience, and on-camera AI-driven computational photography. The camera attaches to iOS and Android smartphones. – Source: Photogram Photogram is...
