The camera is crafted so beautifully to maintain the sleekness of smartphone, but still not as sleek as we find in other handsets. Reason would be its high-quality image sensor. Eventually, the Lumix DMC-CM1is engineered to build a solution which comprises features of smartphone and a high-end camera. The device was exhibited first at Photokina in Cologne where it got its first impression. The 20MP camera with 1-inch MOS sensor is the first in its category of camera smartphone. Well, calling it just a camera phone seems judgmental. Hybrid device is the best suitable name for the device.

However, the handset is average in specifications with 4.7-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 801 processor, and Android 4.4 KitKat OS. But, its f/2.8 lens for 20MP image sensor keeps the caliber to beat Sony’s RX100 or Nikon's 1 series camera. Leica lens, 28mm focal length and 4K image capturing and video recording is just incredible with Lumix DMC-CM1, having digital zoom range of 24-75mm.
