<p>At CES 2013 Polaroid jumped into the interchangeable lens camera game with the iM1836, trying out a never-before-seen concept with mixed results.</p><p>The iM1836 (MSRP $399, with lens) is a camera like no other, powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and featuring a unique sensor-in-lens design. The camera body itself has no sensor; instead, each lens has a sensor inside to capture images, making it a complete imaging module. The body simply houses the electronics.</p><p>RELATED: A full, scientific review of the iM1836</p><p>We don't have any detailed info on the physical size of the 18.1-megapixel sensor used in the 10-30mm kit lens, but we have a pretty good hunch that it's smaller than competing mirrorless models. A smaller sensor is cheaper to make, but typically produces worse image quality, particularly in dim light.</p><p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/01/08/reviewed-polaroid-android-camera/1818367/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/eyes-polaroid-im1836-android-powered-camera">Eyes-on with the Polaroid iM1836 Android-powered camera</a> (Android Central)</p><p><a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6586/polaroid-reveals-worlds-first-ilc-android-camera">Polaroid Reveals World&#039;s First ILC Android Camera</a> (AnandTech)</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/07/hands-on-with-polaroids-three-new-android-based-interchangeable-lens-cameras/">Hands On With Polaroid&#039;s Three New Android-Based Interchangeable Lens ...</a> (eu.techcrunch)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dA4Bx4akLH-XEDMBq4jnpBZca7ERM&ned=us">64 additional articles.</a></p>
