Abstract: First I saw Paul Rudd, walking in cargo shorts and a very baggy white T-shirt. Then, not 48 hours later, a scruffy Paul Giamatti walked past me on the street holding hands with his son. In both cases, I knew I had to take a picture — you're not really a N...
Abstract: Yep, the rumors were spot-on. At the 2013 IFA trade show, Sony revealed two of the most unusual cameras you'll ever see. The Cyber-shot QX10 and QX100 Lens Cameras pack all of the necessary hardware inside a tiny cylinder, save for a viewfinder. Why? Beca...

Good low light performance, aperture control, manual focus option, great results
Some connection problems with PlayMemories app, lack of control, no ISO adjustment, lack of information, price, bulky

Great image quality; Compact design; Makes shooting from difficult angles easier
Poor battery life; Getting ready to shoot takes longer than a normal camera would; Pricey
The Sony QX100 smart lens is a digital lens for your phone, pairing the excellent image quality of its large sensor and high-quality glass with the instant editing and social sharing of your Android or iOS phone. If you want to take your mobile photograph...
Picture quality worthy of an RX100 II!, Max aperture at f/1.8, Very fast autofocus, Settings ring around the lens, Screw thread for tripod mounting
Foursecond startup, No shutter speed or ISO settings, No RAW, No burst mode, 720p video only, Quite bulky compared with a RX100 compact camera, Battery life is quite low
Using the same sensor and lens as the RX100, the Sony QX-100 delivers on its promises and brings never-before-seen levels of photo and video quality to Android and iOS smartphones. It therefore just manages to bag itself a four-star review. However, it's ...
