Sony QX10

Hands-on: A high-quality camera that attaches limpet-like to your phone

The Sony QX10 is a quirky photography smartphone accessory that has specs to suggest it will offer fantastic photos. Whether we can get round the odd design and added weight to our phone, we’ll have to let you know in the full review.

Sony Cyber-shot QX10 review

Sony's lens-style cameras are going to divide opinion. Some will love the geekiness of being able to strap a lens to your smartphone, others will see it as a waste of money. But we can't help being excited about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10, the 10x...

Great quality, the exposure modes pretty much take care of things, adds real optical zoom to smartphones in a very simple way, versatile and flexible

Could offer more control for advanced users, slow to get connected, battery life isn't amazing, no flash, some lag on display

The ability to attach the QX10 to your phone, hold it in your hand, or stick it on a tripod while using your phone as a remote - and then throw it into your pocket after - make the Sony DSC-QX10 a versatile companion camera. Although we didn't...

Sony Cyber-shot QX10 a cool gadget, but not a real solution

Basically a point-and-shoot without a screen and almost no physical controls, this Wi-Fi-enabled lens camera aims to enhance your mobile photography. Mostly, though, it's just a pain.

The ; at its core is a good point-and-shoot camera with photo quality that's better than you'd get with most smartphones. Connects easily with Android devices with NFC. Available platform-agnostic API allows app developers to add support.

The camera has a very limited feature set compared with a regular point-and-shoot; Sony's mobile app has few features; extended shooting drains your smartphone's battery; and its shooting performance can be extremely frustrating.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 might be a fresh take on a point-and-shoot camera, but the design ends up being a bit more trouble than it's worth.

Sony Smart Lens DSC-QX10 review

A clever idea with a sound technical basis, but it's too sluggish to persuade us to dump our cameras

Sony QX10 review

At first glance both the QX10 and QX100 look like conventional lenses for an SLR (single lens reflex) camera but there's more to them. They are essentially compact digital still cameras without screens and control buttons.

I've never been able to take such high quality photos with my cellphone, so for that the QX10 is a winner. If you like to take pictures and are always disappointed by the camera on a smartphone then the QX10 and sister QX100 are worth considering. But...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 and QX100 are more than just mobile-phone ‘accessories'. The QX10 will appeal to many consumers as a replacement for a compact camera. Being small and light, it is the perfect accompaniment to a smartphone.Although the...
