Really, who would choose their iPhones when there are so many better solutions.

Looks like they are trying to re-invent the wheel!
I'm sure my little Sony Handycam can make better videos than a smartphone and it has a 60X optical zoom as well.
It's small enough to put in my pocket, something you can't do with their setup.

I really can't see the point of it , I am surprised that they are over 50% funded!

Sony did that with the lens and sensor from the RX-100. A friend has one and loves it.

Sony also did it with the DX10 -> QX10. The difference between the two is QX100 has more megapixels and the QX10 has greater zoom range. I have the QX10 and find it a little awkward to hold and use. The pics show how I solved the holding problem. You need the Sony app (Play Memories, I think) on your device.
