Yongnuo YN450 Android Camera Explained - Micro 4/3 and EF Mount

The Yongnuo YN450 is a smart mirrorless camera with Android operating system and a 16MP micro four thirds image sensor. It features a Canon EF mount, a 5" multi-touch 1080p display, as well as a 4G SIM card slot for instant content sharing.

This device could be perfect for 4k live-streaming events.

Love the idea, but I wish they had stuck with the MFT mount. Then we could adapt or even speedboost. But android on a camera is a something we should see more

It's about time someone did this. Brains of a smartphone paired with dedicated sensor and glass.
Ideally it should connect online with WiFi and support specialized apps.

Camera makers must catch up to this. If they can put a powerful cpu and a nice screen you can use lightroom to edit in-camera. I hope this succeeds.

Cant to install whatsapp in the camera

should be pretty cool with a sigma 18-35

I use several Yongnuo products and find them extremely pleasant and cost effective. I'm actually excited about this product. I feel that this is, more or less, the formula that ALL mirrorless cameras should follow but I'd need one with either a hot-shoe or built in compatibility with Yongnuo's RF flash triggers...

...because I would definitely use it the same way that I use my main camera a lot of the time.

It's good, but I'll only consider buying when it has 24fps and even lower (18, 16, 12), because it gives you a wide range of looks from movie to old/sped up to stop-motion cartoon effect, which I'm sure others would also like, but at least 24, because without it, we will have to first edit in an app, before sharing online, that completely takes away the purpose of directly sharing online. At 30, it's only good for vlogging and interviews or news, but not music, acting or anything performance related. Secondly, lower framerates also take up less space, so thats never a bad thing.

I like the camera and the concept behind it, but am especially impressed with the very professional interview. Great work!!

This is the future right here. The japanese camera makers better be taking notes.

[pdgarciac]

wow! I have several Yongnuo lenses 35 mm, 50 mm, nikon and canon mounts and have even gifted your lenses. It really sounds revolutionary. Congratulations for improving the photo/video market! :)

Finally a camera wit SIM card inside! Really cool!

I wish them success!.... i want want for Summer!

YN450M M43/MFT version FTW - if they could just grab the 20.3MP sensor for it, too, and upgrade to the 8 or higher Android, then it'd be *awesome*. Neat product.

[ifaanuur]

Wow! I hope it can support FIlmic pro. then best budget cinema camera!

[diyrecordingstudio]

This is actually what I kind of expected the RED phone to be able to do with add ons. Interesting, keen to see reviews on this one.

*Virtually just how the iPhone was born, putting together all kind of existing stuff*

[JLEOY]

Wow. This would be ideal for me. I record and edit on my android sony xa1. MFT would be a huge upgrade in quality. Thanks for the video

[victorcandia]

Maybe the video fails to show one of the biggest advantages of the design: the huge screen. Really nice concept, would be great if camera companies started thinking about upsizing their screens already

This is essentially the Samsung Galaxy Camera with a mount for changing lens instead of fixed lens
