Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX100 and DSC-QX10

I WANT!

I have been collecting and reading up on toys that I have totally lost touch with what is happening in the tech world. But recently a product has caught my attention and got me really excited.

We are talking about the revolutionary Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX100 and DSC-QX10!

DSC-QX10

This is damn cool can? The lens -style cameras transforms your mobile into a power-packed camera, a perfect partner for Android and iOS smartphones.

The Sony DSC-QX100 and Sony DSC-QX10 is attached to the smartphone that fits alot of popular smartphone models (width 54-75mm/max. thickness 13mm).

It connects to your phone using Wi-Fi and the latest version of Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application. Linkage is even simpler for NFC smartphone owners, with easy one-touch connection made without any complicated settings.

When connected, the smartphone becomes the lens’ viewfinder, but as long as the lens and the phone have a connection established, the lens will operate as a stand-alone camera. Photos are stored in both the built-in lens storage, as well as the camera. This is bonus for all who take selfies, and good for tight corners.




Use your smartphone’s large, bright screen as a real-time viewfinder; fire the shutter, start/stop movie recordings, and adjust settings like shooting mode, zoom and Auto Focus area.



It will be available in Singapore at all Sony stores and authorised outlets from October 2013

Shit, I can't decide which one I wanna get. But this is insanely awesome and mind blowing.



   
Premium, Large-Sensor QX100 Camera
The Cyber-shot QX100 camera features a premium, high-quality 1.0 inch, 20.2 MP Exmor® RCMOS sensor.  Identical to the sensor found in the acclaimed Cyber-shot RX100 II camera, it allows for exceptionally detailed, ultra-low noise images in all types of lighting conditions, including dimly lit indoor and night scenes.

The sensor is paired with a fast, wide-aperture Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 3.6x optical zoom and a powerful BIONZ® image processor, ensuring beautifully natural, detail-packed still images and HD videos. As an extra refinement, the QX100 sports a dedicated control ring for camera-like adjustment of manual focus and zoom.
Several different shooting modes can be selected while using the QX100 including Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Intelligent Auto and Superior Auto, which automatically recognizes 44 different shooting conditions and adjusts camera settings to suit.

High-Zoom Cyber-shot QX10 model
Boasting a powerful 18.2 effective megapixel Exmor RCMOS sensor and versatile 10x optical zoom Sony G Lens, the Cyber-shot QX10 camera allows mobile photographers to bring distant subjects closer without sacrificing image quality or resolution, a common problem in smartphones.  It’s also extremely portable and lightweight – weighing less than 4 oz and measuring about 2.5”X2.5”x1.3”, it’s a great tool for travel photography.

Additionally, the camera has built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to combat camera shake, keeping handheld pictures and videos steady and blur-free.  It has Program Auto, Intelligent Auto and Superior Auto modes to choose from, and will be available in two different colors – black and white.
