DigitalRev Reviews The Innovative Sony QX100 Lens Camera
When I first learned about the Sony QX100 lens camera, I was really interested in checking it out. It was being branded by Sony as the new photography gadget to have because it boasted a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens with a 3.6x optical zoom that attached to your smart phone. The only camera I have on me all the time is my iPhone, so when I heard I could enhance the quality of my photos, I wanted to see what this lens camera was all about. The guys over at DigitalRev have released a video reviewing the Sony QX100, giving me second thoughts about this so-called innovative lens camera. Check out the video and see all the pros and cons of this new product by Sony.
