Hands on: Sony’s new QX10 and QX100 turn any iPhone, Android phone into a Cyber-shot camera

The quality of images captured with smartphone cameras improves dramatically with each new generation of devices. In fact, we’re getting to the point where photos taken with top of the line smartphone cameras like the Lumia 1020 and iPhone 5, and pictures captured by basic dedicated point-and-shoot cameras are nearly indistinguishable. But right now there’s only so much that camera sensor and optics makers can do in the small amount of space available in today’s razor-thin smartphones. What if that limitation was somehow eliminated entirely, however, and almost any iPhone or Android smartphone currently on the market could be instantly transformed into a top-notch Cyber-shot camera? With Sony’s new QX10 and QX100 smartphone accessories, the company has achieved just that.
Sony on Wednesday unveiled its brand new Cyber-shot QX10 and Cyber-shot QX100 accessories during the IFA trade show in Berlin, Germany. The two devices create an entirely new category of smartphone accessory that completely eliminates the current barriers that stand between smartphones and high-quality imaging by moving the camera outside the device.
