Sony presents QX10 and QX100, new accessory lenses for smartphones

The photograph on smartphones continues to grow at a pace really important and, Sony, for to do their part as well to the fore launching the new Sony Xperia Z1 with its 20.7 megapixel sensor in the main chamber, has presented its new lenses accessory for smartphones, Sony and Sony QX100 QX10
All the technology in a smartphone, which together gives the result "a picture", ie all that hardware-software that makes possible photography to smartphones,
is growing and evolving so dramatically positive. However, there are obvious limitations in space that can be dedicated to this function and, for the moment, Sony has the solution to deliver something that goes a little further: their new Sony lenses with integrated sensor and Sony QX100 QX10.

Sony has introduced two new lenses, which incorporate its own sensor, but may be connected with a smartphone NFC and WiFi-Direct to work with the team directly. Such lenses are attached to the smartphone with a small bracket and function as if were on the device itself that we are using, transferring pictures we take directly to your smartphone, which as mentioned above, would be connected perfectly to the sensor.

Specifications and prices Sony and QX100 QX10

The Sony QX10, incorporates a 18 megapixel sensor, plus its own optical zoom, with no quality lose absolutely nothing to do "zoom". Among the technical features, we can highlight a focal 4,45 / 44,5 mmy f/3.3-5.9 opening. The price of Sony QX10 will be around 100 euros in Europe. On the QX100 Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor, higher quality, provides photographs of 20.1 megapixels, Carl Zeissy lenses, as above, also incorporates optical zoom. Among the specifications of this high range, include an opening f/1.8-4.9, focal length of 10.4 / 37.1 and a price reaches 450 euros. The image processor as Sony usually does, will BIONZ.

A curious accessory for smartphones

Without doubt, the new Sony lenses as an accessory for our smartphones, are curious. It is obvious that not only serve as an accessory, as we have seen we can use as the Sony "Action Cam" that was already in the market, ie as independent of any other camera device. The approach is the following: we have a camera that can act on its own (especially designed for photography, while the "Action Cam" is designed for video), but we also have, at the same time, a new accessory for your smartphone.
The new QX100 QX10 and can be used without having to rely on a smartphone, however, the utility with a smartphone is quite different and opens up a range of possibilities even greater. With a smartphone connected to these lenses, we can not use the camera's own terminal, with our accessory or QX100 QX10, achieve greater quality in our photographs.

Compatible with Android and iOS

The new Sony lenses, although some might believe, they are not designed solely for their devices, which incorporate the Android operating system. These lenses, in addition to working "for free" and could do the same with a smartphone can also do so with an iPhone, and an iPad, and any other device with Android / iOS. No doubt this market opens much more for QX100 QX10 and that a priori draw attention to anyone and yet, not everyone will be useful a device of this type. But they sure will delight those who love photography.
