Recently, Sony introduced the Cyber-shot DSC-QX100 and DSC-QX10, two “lens-style” cameras that can attach to smartphones and give them the look, feel, and functionality of premium compact cameras.
Even though they look like lenses, these are actually whole cameras (minus a viewfinder), that offer 18–20 megapixel sensors, 3x–10x zoom, multiple shooting modes, image stabilization, and manual focus, while weighing less than 4 ounces. Both cameras can connect to phones via Wi-Fi and use the phone’s screen in lieu of a viewfinder. In addition to connecting the cameras to your phone, you can also attach them to a tripod or simply hold them in your hand.
Both the QX100 ($500) and QX10 ($250) will ship later this month.
