    iPhone camera lenses are not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination. They emerged a few years ago, to accommodate and enhance the steadily improving camera technology that was being developed. They started out small, with individual lenses being sold for about R200, and a set of all sorts of different lenses being sold for around R500. It was more of a start-up company kind of thing to do – but now the big dogs have latched onto to the market, and Sony is one of those who are looking to make a big impact.

    Before, all the lenses that were available simply clipped on to the back of the phone in question, and enhanced the image without actually communicating with the phone. Now, the Sony QX10 connects to it’s owners smartphone through Wi-Fi or Near Field Communication. This allows the smartphone user to manipulate and interact with the camera through the host phones’ touch screen controls.

    (Just take a step back, absorb that paragraph,and think about how far the human race has come. It’s hectic.)

    This camera has its own 18.2-megapixel image sensor and a 10x optical zoom lens – which puts it on par with some of the best digital cameras – but not some of the best smartphones. If  you consider that the Sony Experia Z1 takes 21-megapixel shots, and the Nokia Lumia 1020 takes 41-megapixel shots – the QX10 seems a bit… silly.

    But, if you’re keen on upping your iPhone’s megapixel count and carrying a lens with you wherever you carry your phone – you’ll have to fork out around R2500.

    Enjoy.
