The Camera Apple Should Have Made: Alice Camera Review
Tony Northrup tested the Micro four Thirds Alice Camera which is available at BHphoto (Click here). Here is the summary of the video:
The Alice Camera features:
-
A Micro Four Thirds sensor, 9x larger than that of a typical iPhone
-
Interchangeable lenses, allowing for flexible focal lengths
-
Seamless integration with your smartphone as the viewfinder and control center
-
Instant wireless image transfer to your phone and cloud (e.g., iCloud)
-
Encrypted photo storage and GPS tagging for added security
-
Real-time sharing to social media, perfect for creators and event shooters
Key Advantages:
-
Much better image quality than smartphones
-
Instant backup and sync to the cloud
-
Security: Photos are encrypted and not accessible if the camera is stolen
-
Real shutter button, physical grip, and camera-like ergonomics
-
Great for social media creators, event photographers, and those needing real-time sharing
Downsides:
-
Uses Micro Four Thirds, not full-frame
-
No IBIS or advanced autofocus like Sony cameras
-
Cold shoe, not hot—so flash and strobe users may be limited
-
Grip could be more ergonomic
Conclusion:
While not perfect, the Alice Camera offers a compelling bridge between traditional cameras and smartphones—ideal for creators who need fast sharing, better image quality, and security. The reviewer believes this could be the future of connected photography.
