Now this is innovation, folks. Sony's
reportedly gearing up to announce a pair
of "lens cameras" that attach to your
existing smartphone or tablet. The unique
devices are said to feature a sensor,
processor, zoom lens, WiFi connectivity
and an SD card slot, but no display or
other typical controls (beyond a zoom
toggle and perhaps a shutter release).
You'll use your handset or slate to control
the lens, adjust framing and transmit
images. According to SonyAlphaRumors ,
the electronics giant is expected to release
two models: the DSC-QX10 (pictured
above) and the DSC-QX100. The latter
will ship with the same 1-inch sensor used
with the RX100 Mark II, while the other
lens will include a larger 10x focal range
and a 1/2.3-inch 18-megapixel CMOS
sensor. There's no word on pricing or
availability, but with Sony's IFA press
conference right around the corner, we'll
likely get the full scoop (and hopefully
some hands-on time) come September
4th.
