Judging by the current situation, the public is wary of a new class of devices, entirely presented so far a series of cameras Cyber-shot QX. Conceptually these devices look like absolute winners in the current market conjuncture.

If the consumer prefers more and more camera phones to compacts we should just give good cameras for these very camera phones discarding all unnecessary things. If you connect a camera and a smartphone, then of course without any problems you can give up most of the body, hardware controls and display. QX – dependent non-selfie modules that necessarily need a modern smartphone to work. From the controls on the modules there are only shutter buttons and zoom levers. Sighting and interface – all on your smartphone screen. And it is logical: if the camera is already attached to the phone why should it have its own knowingly worse quality display? For the owner of a mobile device with a built-in camera to want to supplement the existing functionality with a not-so-cheap addition, you need to offer them something special. In the case of the QX100, it is the great image quality of the one inch format sensor and the 3.6x zoom lens with large aperture ratio. QX10 offers a versatile 10x zoom lens and an albeit small, but high-quality 1/2.3-inch Exmor R sensor. The batteries inside the QX are its own, so the smartphone almost only spends a charge to maintain a Wi-Fi connection. Cameras are attached to telephones with special frames. Holds pretty tight and removes easily.
In reality, however, not everything is so cloudless. In practice it takes a long time to get used to such a device. It works less stable than a full-fledged camera, due to the fact that periodically there is a miscommunication between the photographic and phone parts of the tandem. And yet the QX series is a movement in the right direction and already both modules seem to be interesting gadgets.
Can you provide more information on the image quality and low-light performance of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX100/QX10 compact cameras?
