Sony DSC-QX100 and DSC-QX10 to turn smartphones into DSLRs

The trend is increasingly clear: more than with cameras, episodes and expressions are now captured by smartphones.
Always in your pocket or bag, the device admirably fulfills the task of taking photos and shooting videos that, very quickly and easily, are shared in a matter of seconds.
Sony has therefore studied a system to further expand the potential of this matter, proposing two objects to be applied to the smartphone.
These are Sony DSC-QX100 e DSC-QX10, apparently simple lenses, but in reality true special lenses very similar – in functionality – to compact cameras.
You will only have to attach these new objects of desire to make them functional, thanks to Wi-Fi and NFC communication modules.
Both are then compatible with both Android devices and iOS devices.

Here in detail are the features:

• Sony DSC-QX100
  – 1″ Exmor R CMOS sensor with 20.2 megapixels;
  – 3.6x Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T zoom;
• Sony DSC-QX10
  – 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor;
  – 10x Sony G zoom.

It is not yet known precisely when these two special lenses will arrive on the European market, nor the selling price in euros. However, it is possible to start getting an idea by considering the prices in the United States: the price of DSC-QX10 is $250, the price of DSC-QX10 is $450.
Not cheap, by any means. It should be considered that within these devices there are not only Carl Zeiss lenses – already of high value and great quality in themselves – but there is also a BIONZ image processor.
It is therefore a complex type of product that justifies its price.
