Sony did something a little radical in 2013, launching the lens-style camera accessories for smartphones. With two models on offer - the QX10 and the QX100 - the idea is to bring quality to your smartphone photos that would be otherwise be impossible and...

The more we used the QX100, the more apparent the difference from the QX10 became. Once connected to a phone, the QX100 is difficult to get into your pocket. Even with a big jacket pocket, attached to a big phone like the HTC One, it was just too bi...

Sony Lens Camera QX100: At a glance The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-QX100 is a pretty new idea in the camera world. It's a digital camera that connects to your phone, using its screen as the preview display that you'd normally find one the snapper's back. This is...

an interesting experiment but it needs time The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-QX100 is an odd camera, and it takes a bit of getting used to – clamping a chunky 180g weight on your phone feels plain weird. However, it has the specs to suggest it'll take cracking p...

The Sony QX100 is a nice idea, and the results are certainly impressive. But unfortunately it's hampered by the lack of a flash, poor battery life, the high price and the sluggish performance. But if you've got money to burn and are after a new toy to go...
