The Sony Cyber-shot QX10 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 suppor

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....
The Sony DSC-QX10 was the 1st device in a long time that has truly amazed me! The slightly laggy response from the viewfinder was forgotten every time I used the camera. I would say that if you are considering the QX10 or that if you are curious about it,...
The QX10 forms one of two new lenses that Sony is hoping will make the detachable camera lens category a success for them. It offers the capabilities of a point and shoot camera with fantastic optical zoom and the ability to connect to pretty much any And...
Innovative and original concept, Pocket sized, Creative potential for lining up shots, Better picture quality than the average smartphone camera, Speedy autofocus, PlayMemories Mobile app is easy to use, Screw thread for tripod mounting

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 initi...
As the population of smartphone-only photographers continues to grow, it's inevitable that camera manufacturers will look over the fence for greener pastures—especially those with a background in the mobile phone biz. Samsung has already done so with the ...
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 if...
The technology that's packed into this small device is impressive, I just wish the usability would measure up to the same high standards. A better-placed NFC chip and faster, less fiddly mounting to a handset would make this ideal for capturing those flee...
