Hello friends,
Today I hear the news of Sony camera lens,which can attach with our smartphones using Sony app.this will be expected 500$.
We did run into some speed limitations, which we'll explore in the performance section, but overall, the app worked well. The first time you pair with a smartphone, you'll need to connect to your camera's ad-hoc WiFi network just as you would any other network. There's an SSID and password under the battery door. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play, and if your phone is NFC-enabled, you can simply tap it to the lens to initiate the download. Once it's installed, launch the app, select the camera and you're good to go.
When you're connected, you'll see a live preview through the lens on your smartphone screen. There's a standard, albeit bare, viewfinder layout, including current mode, resolution and remaining shot readouts, along with a zoom toggle and shutter release (which are duplicated on the camera itself). There's no option to view the remaining battery life, unfortunately, though there is a small indicator on the side of the lens. As for shooting, there are three primary modes to select from. Intelligent Auto is your run-of-the-mill automatic mode; Superior Auto enables some advanced shooting tools, such as macro or Handheld Twilight; and Program lets you set exposure compensation and white balance. Other settings include turning the camera beep on or off, and selecting the aspect ratio and resolution. The QX10 is very much a point-and-shoot, so, for better or worse, expect the camera do all of the work.
Sony's answer to Samsung's misstep, and when you factor in cost, compatibility and image quality, Sony comes out far ahead.
In the box, you'll find an instruction manual, the lens camera, a detachable smartphone mount with an extending arm, a wrist strap, an NP-BN battery pack rated for 200 shots and a micro-USB cable for charging and wired image transfers. There isn't one accessory you won't need, nor are there any critical components missing, with the exception of a microSD card. The lens measures 1.5 inches high with the smartphone attachment and 1.125 inches without. You connect the two with an embedded bayonet mount. There's also a sliding arm that'll accommodate just about any current phone model, including the Galaxy Note II, and rubber pads positioned where the accessory meets your handset to eliminate any risk of damage when you attach and detach the lens.
We tested the QX10 with both a Galaxy Note II and a Moto X, and it fit on both, though the X's shorter design meant the camera mount often edged too close to the phone's volume rocker -- the Note offered more real estate. We also tried attaching the camera to an iPhone 4, which was an even tighter squeeze than the Moto X. It did fit, though we'd recommend sticking to a larger device if possible. You can also use the lens on its own, though there aren't many physical controls, and without a viewfinder to speak of, it's a bit of a crapshoot. There are but three buttons: a power control on the top, then a shutter release and a zoom toggle on the left side of the lens. Any settings adjustments -- and there aren't many to choose from -- are handled directly in Sony's PlayMemories Mobile app. both lens cameras are quite similar, though the QX100 is larger than the QX10 despite its more limited focal length. The reason for the discrepancy is a generous 1-inch 20-megapixel sensor, and a higher-quality f/1.8-4.9, 3.6x Carl Zeiss lens to match. The QX10, however, sports a 1/2.3-inch 18.9-megapixel sensor -- that's comparable in physical size to what you'd find in a mid-range point-and-shoot. Still, it's substantially larger than the embedded smartphone sensor it's likely to replace, and the f/3.3-5.9.
