“New details on Sony’s anticipated Bluetooth camera lens accessories, which will be able to use Apple’s iOS devices as viewfinders, have been revealed through a leaked product manual, including an integrated microphone and hardware shutter button,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Part of the manual was published on Friday by Sony Alpha Rumors, revealing that Sony apparently plans to release two models: a high-end DSC-QX100, alongside a more basic model dubbed DSC-QX10. Both products will offer the same functionality, but feature different quality lenses,” Hughes reports. “The QX100 is revealed to have the same internal components as the RX100m2 camera, including a 20.2-megapixel Exmor R sensor and f/1.8 Carl Zeiss lens.”
Hughes reports, “The QX10 will have a lower end 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, and an f/3.3-5.9 lens, the same found in the Sony WX150 point-and-shoot camera.”

very expensive but interesting thing!
How do you know this?
This could be a clincher for the iPhone and turn in to a viable high quality camera alternative .
Cool
How do the lenses stick to the back of my iPhone??
It doesn’t ‘stick’ to the back of the phone, the phone slides into a sort of slot in the lens unit, effectively there are hooks that go over the top and bottom of the case.
Velcro.
If I am correct in assuming this is true, Sony is essentially making the iPhone the most expensive back screen for a camera ever. On another note I think you would look very silly answering your iPhone camera when it rings… Could be quite a cool gadget, but I’d rather buy a separate point and shoot like the Nikon A series and use my iPhone for the times when i don’t have that…
Way to go!sony.
Sounds like my Canon 6D, with out the bulk!
