Looks like a phone camera without the phone.
It's a clever gimmick. It was discussed at length on the Pentaxians
forum on facebook. The form factor is terrible for serious shooting,
there is no good way to brace it. I don't think that there is even a
screw mount for attaching it to a tripod.
They are trying to get better performance out of a camera phone, rather
than making a high end camera that is easier to carry.
I can see various advantages to the compound lens design, but you have
some physics issues. The added complexity of focusing more lenses. The
issue of parallax when shooting short distances, issues with not all
lenses being exactly focused on the same plane. Even with all of those
sensors, they'd be lucky to have the same sensor area as an APS sensor,
much less a full frame. It's fairly versatile for a pocket camera, but
there is no way to add specialty lenses such as macro or extremely long
telephoto.
It addresses a couple of the issues of cell phone camera image quality,
but totally ignores a lot of the other reasons that someone will shoot
with an SLR or even a rangefinder camera.

I hope it really takes off at an affordable price point, say the cost of a
mid range DSLR or cheaper.
