"Will the QX10 and QX100 prove to be game changers or gimmicks? Whether you're a camera snob or a smartphone photography enthusiast — or a little of both — Sony's new QX100 and QX10 are intriguing.
The pair of "digital cameras" are unlike anything we've seen in the DPReview offices before, proving tricky even for us to categorize and anticipate how our readers may react. We've seen manufacturers blend smartphone and compact camera before, with Samsung's Galaxy S4 Zoom probably hitting closest to the target thus far. Smartphone manufactures continue to make valiant efforts to make their products more camera-like as well: Nokia's offering a grip accessory that makes it hard to remember the Lumia 1020 is a phone and Oppo is teasing sensor-equipped plug-in optics with zoom capability. Sony's thinking is truly original: the QX100 and QX10 are transformative accessories designed to become part of your smartphone. Instead of forcing you to choose between camera or smartphone: Sony's encouraging you to have both, with an innovative cross-platform approach."
Sony have been busy this week? Now with this pair the QX100 and QX10, the new motto may become, lens in one hand and smart phone in the other?
