Okay Bob: here are some stats for your amusement. Comparison photos for size against my iPhone 6: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4683/24303915537_6d8d4336d8_h.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4680/39134657842_39ae72207e_h.jpg
All up weight in the slipcase is 468g (16.5 oz). Internal storage: room for approximately 1300 exposures. Can backup to a self-powered external portable hard drive or flash drive (although I haven't actually tried that yet). Battery life: approximately 400 exposures, and rechargeable from a cell phone booster battery with a USB-C output cable connection (the data interface on the camera is USB-C). The supplied USB-interface charger will fast-charge the camera from dead flat to 100% in about 2 and a half hours max. Output image resolution is adjustable from 8Mpixel to 50Mpixel in the dedicated post processing software, Lumen. Effective Field of View range is from 28mm to 150mm, continuous but with steps for fast access at 28, 70, and 150mm settings. Resolution and close focus varies with focal length; it's quite close focusing, I think the longest close focus distance is at 150mm where it's about 6-8 inches. Automatic or manual exposure. Metering patterns are center-weighted or touch oriented on the screen. Focus is auto or touch based. Manual metering allows control of ISO and shutter time (f/opening is a composite based on the ten cameras used for an exposure, and is post-processing adjustable). EV compensation on auto is -/+2EV, shutter speed range 15s to 1/8000, ISO range from 100 to 3200. As I said, it's a handy little thing. A bit more polish on the firmware and processing app and it will be really cool, and useful.
