Camera resolution: 7728 x 5368, 7728 x 4354 Its costing $299.99 you'd think you'd have to pay at least $300 for technology like this. six-elements lens with ZEISS optics and I have a bridge in Brooklyn for you. F2.2 lens high-resolution f/2.4 Zeiss all-aspherical 1-group lens. Optical image stabilization And unlike my 12 mp Nikon D700 you can make a phone call with it. Belive me I've tried.
