    "Even if you might not have a line of sight of another human being, your every action may be scrutinised in enormous detail.

    "I guess it's like this sort of creepy guy at the beach with a wide-angle lens camera, and bringing that to your everyday life, and having that person potentially around everywhere."

    A similar privacy problem has already reared its ugly head in South Korea, where authorities are tackling a spy camera epidemic in which women have been filmed without their knowledge."

    Don't blame the device, blame the perverts.

    You can digitally zoom any photograph to 50x after you have taken the picture with the photo app, or virtually any other editing /viewing app. Digital zoom is not the same as optical zoom. That's why this is completely retarded.
