This camera is actually designed with construction site considerations. Don’t know if it was reviewed in FHB, but that might be appropriate.

Being able to be dropped a meter is pretty impressive durability.
Going to be pricy as all get out as they haven't even released the numbers yet.

lens is still not wide enought for reg sized rooms.
How wide a 28 mm lens is for that format depends on the size of the sensor chip. Their specs say "1/1.8 inch". If that really means 1" x 1.8", it could be quite wide.

Their comparision was with regular 35 mm slr type camara. I use a 19mm for extra wide shots with 35mm and a .45 converter with my Nikon 24mm Digital.
Just get a 3 megapixel camera on discount for cheap because it's out of fashion.
I use my Nikon Coolpix on the job daily. Photos of conditions before I start, during, after, etc., etc.

Here's a trick to try:
Take a digital picture of a wall before you rock it. Then use a digital projector to project the picture on the finished wall, using windows, doors, and electrical stuff to line it up. Now you can hang heavy pictures, shelves, etc. just by driving nails into the picture of the studs. The real ones should be right underneath.

I have knuckles for finding those studs. After taht I would watch a football game while you were setting up your projector. LOL!
I certainly like having pix of what is in the wall before closing it. Not having a digital projector (the bulbs alone run around $500), I stick a tape down. Better is to paint up a story pole in black, white on 12" intervals and stick that in.
If it were me - you would get a scrap book of all those pix. Some high end builders do that.
We are finding color pix helps the business. Boss just send my job pix on a new conduit run for area wiring, plus permit, to that HOA board. Their area wiring is rotting out and we have another one pending. Three dead circuits, fire in the box, etc. Got close ups of those.
Right now I am printing out color pix of my site walk today so my boss has documentation and talking points for another HOA meeting tomorrow. The cutest problem was someone backing into the support for a garage door header. Knocked it right off the sill plus 3/8.
Owner came home and I could get inside - and see how they framed that thing. One rotted 2x4 under the beam end. There is a T strap to a built up 4x4 post. I would have at least two trimmers under this thing.

1.3 megapixel -- good enough for site condition pics.
Doubles as a phone.
