Having a physical shutter makes sense for high-end cameras, especially DSLRs. But is there that much of an advantage in a small, low quality camera like this? Are they planning to allow 1/1000th shutter speeds? Is the extra quality really going to be noticeable on such a tiny, noisy sensor with a small lens?
I think the point is that we will keep seeing advances. How do you know the sensor is tiny and noisy? Everything is relative. There are people with $1500 digital slr who will snear at $500 point and shoot cameras, people with $3000 slr who sneer at the $1500 guys, and full format people who laugh at the $3000 slr guys for even taking off the dust cap.
I was a shooter for a living some years back and that $1500 slr and the $3000 one with good glass, don't have the ability to GPS tag my phot -- and put int on my facebook or email it five seconds later -- like my phones camera can!
every advance is good news. most images shot by individuals that are SEEN by others nowadays are shot on cell phones. All those pictures sitting on your (and my) unconnected cameras 32gb card by be noiseless, but they also by their nature obscure.
I think all the developments in connected smartphone cameras are very good news

Would a tiny noisy sensor benefit more from DSLR lens? Try to attach it and see if it does ;)
