Chris, I don't agree, it's you that should be ashamed: Expletives say the most about those who use them, not much about anything else.

Couldn't disagree more. We're all adults here. Expletives add colour and succinctness. Being a dick is the problem.

Very choppy and hard to go back. On the plus side, I didn't know about these "Smartphone Attachable Lens-Style Camera", is there someone here able to tell me if it is worth it? (I have a Galaxy Note and no other camera).

Like many other verticals there are many technological innovations happening in photography too. This "smartphone attachable lens-style camera" is one of these recent innovations. I can't comment on quality of the lens itself but they must be far better than that of a standard camera installed on mobile phones. These lenses can be used both attached/detached to the mobile phone. They use NFC (if your phone is into th…

According to reviews, the lens cameras don't work well in large crowds (e.g. Sporting events, your kids' school play). Physically docking to your phone would be more sensible (there's a kickstarter project along those lines). But frankly the gap between cellphone cameras and the rest is closing to the point where 1-3 is a wash, and 4 is pretty crap anyway. So it's 1-4, 5/6.

One implied claim that stuck out was that their recent full-frame digital camera produces images comparable with "medium format film". This is extremely unlikely, and casts all their claims in doubt.

Something is wrong when you are selling image quality and your site features blurry artifacted images.

The animations are nice, but they are basically doing frame by frame 704 × 396 movie that look terrible when pushed to 1920 wide.

Just use a proper video format, which is much more efficient.
