Image: Lenovo Although Lenovo is a well-known brand, it is not typically associated with cameras. While that likely won't be changing any time soon, the company has announced a compact camera, as Yanko Design reports.

The Lenovo C55 promises vlogging-focused features at a very low price, though we've not been able to confirm all the specs.

The Lenovo C55 looks like a classic compact with a glossy, white plastic shell. It's small, measuring 112 x 71. 5 x 34. 5mm (4. 4 x 2. 8 x 1. 3") and weighing only 190g (6. 7oz), making it a pocketable device. There are suggestions it's built around a very small Type 1/3 (

It features a 2. 8" LCD screen on the back and, like many point-and-shoots, lacks a viewfinder. A mode dial on top allows for easy switching between various modes, including photo mode, continuous shooting, loop recording, time-lapse, slow-motion, video and more.

The C55 can record 4K video and offers electronic image stabilization. One of the most helpful features is a built-in ring light, so you don't have to fuss with separate lights when recording vlogs.

Beyond that, though, the information is a little muddy. The press images from Lenovo mention 18x digital zoom, but the lens's focal length isn't specified, so it isn't clear what that 18x zoom will get you and whether it's including any cropping to get to that number. There's also supposedly a front and rear camera, though there aren't any specific details on those, and the images of the camera don't appear to have a camera on the back. There does appear to be a mirror on the front to aid with self-recorded videos and photos.

Things get especially confusing regarding the sensor. Multiple websites report, including Notebook Check, that the camera is built around a 64MP Sony CMOS Type 1/3 image sensor. Sony's semiconductor division doesn't list a sensor with those specs on its site, but its site typically only lists a small number of the sensors offered to the industry. The Lenovo press images also don't mention a specific megapixel count or sensor size; they only include a Sony-branded sensor graphic with text that, when translated, says "professional sensor. "

It's also unclear whether this is truly a Lenovo-made device or simply one that bears the Lenovo badge through licensing. The camera is only available in China. It comes in two variants: a 64GB version and a 128GB version, which cost CNY 499 ($69) and CNY 559 ($78), respectively. Many similarly priced cameras from unfamiliar brands are available on Amazon, but it is interesting to see Lenovo building out (or licensing) its name in the camera realm.
