Searching for the Gigapixel Camera Phone

Two of my favorite hobbies, backpacking and photography complement each other exceptionally well.  Except in one department, weight.  Image quality tends to scale with camera size.  Bigger sensors have lower noise and higher per-pixel resolution.  Larger sensors require heavier lenses.  Heavier lenses demand beefier tripods.  Conversely, every ounce taken off of the pack is that much more enjoyment on, and mileage of the trail.  This blog is simply a documentation of my efforts of optimization and studies in compromise.
