The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 is an add-on lens for use with smartphones. It's an example of a risky, forward-thinking concept, but some issues prevent us from recommending it....
Seamless smartphone integration, Good image quality, Reasonably priced
Noticeable preview lag, Limited manual control, Mediocre battery life
We were admittedly hesitant when we first heard about Sony's new lens cameras, and we weren't even convinced after an extended hands-on earlier this month. But after spending a full week with the QX10, including shoots in Berlin and Alaska, it's hard not ...

I can almost guarantee you've never used a camera like the Sony QX10 before. A camera attachment for your smartphone that already has a built-in camera, you say? Isn't that redundant? For the most part, yes, but using the lens-shaped camera together with...

If you enjoy taking photos on your smartphone, these unique QX cameras will offer you more flexibility, however the amount of use they get will come down to how desperate you are for better image quality. If the slow setup speeds, time lag over the W...

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.

With a sensible head on, it's easy to write off the QX10. It's too expensive, a janky experience as it stands with the Sony application, and whichever way you look at it, it's a tough sell to average joe public. Yes, it takes good pictures – better in alm...
A stand-alone lens for your phone? It's so crazy it just might workThe Sony Cyber-short QX10 is here to fill a need you had no idea needed filled. It mates the improved pictures of a good point-and-shoot camera with your smartphone. Rather than build a ph...
