I have one. It’s real and it’s well made. It has sixteen lenses and for the most part takes iPhone six quality pictures in auto mode. Auto mode uses what I would call ISO Mode control. That is the majority of pictures are shot at slow shutter and big apiture while using ISO to get exposure. Basicly smart phone small lens sop. Using Auto is convenient but does not produce reliably good images just giant files. The soft ware is way behind the camera and may someday fix this.
Using Manual Mode with under 200 ISO goes a long way towards improving image quality. I have been able to get a few images that rival my Sony ARII with 40mp but it takes an effort to do so.
Although the cameras abilities have been a little oversold I would have to say the concept is sound. You can actually nurse very good images out of it if you have the patience and limit your subjects to those things that don’t move very much.
It’s software is in Beta and will likely by there for ever. If they ever get that close to what it needs to be this thing could be the game changer.
