Love the concept, software needs a lot more work
on October 20, 2013
Posted by: Myxin
I really love this camera as a great companion to my iPhone for specific occasions. It is a very interesting concept, I love the zooming capabilities and image quality. The unfortunate problem is with the playmemories software which is very incomplete in terms of functionalities and buggy and unreliable, at least on iOS 7. I hope Sony with provide an update to the software very soon which will make this new camera concept really great and more usable.

QX-10 Review
on October 1, 2013
Posted by: Sandman369
I tried my QX-10 the other day for the first time with my iphone. The camera itself works great as far as quality. I purchased it because of the 10x zoom. I compared it to the iPhone's zoom and the quality was fantastic. Unfortunately, thy software is TERRIBLE! It's in dire need for an update. I kept having to exit the app and re-launch it, then reconnect the camera. The app should also allow the use of the phones' flash. I'm going to keep using it over the next week or so and hopefully I won't return it. I think it's a great idea and if you can improve the app, I think you'll have a winner.

Pretty neat Gadget!
on December 6, 2013
Posted by: Mlamb
If your wanting a fun little gadget for taking unique shots, shots above the crowd, group shots, or spy cam around the corner shots. This is a pretty cool little toy. And the quality of photos is right up there with some of the nice Cyber-shot models. It's really great for getting photos of your dogs.
It is the first release of this fun little camera, so there are a few things I'd like to see improved. A flash on the actual lens would really be my only request. All though it does way better than my iphone in low light w no flash. (Obviously flash is needed in very low light)
As far as the not being able to do quick shots... yes the app takes a bit of time to catch up. But I prefer to use the shutter button right on the side of the lens. I can do very quick shooting that way... it just takes my phone time to catch up to display them. Now that lag in my opinion is no fault of the camera lens... but my phones ability to process the large images and catch up. Or it could be the app? Now that doesn't pose much of a problem for me since the lens is in my hand when I'm taking most of my photos... but if you want fast shots just using the app and have the lens set at a distance you may find that a headache.
But you won't find a more economically priced camera that gives you the versatility of raising it above the crowd at a football game or concert to get an awesome shot, or hiding in in a couch cushion to catch your dog doing something funny.
And I wanted something where the photos would go right to my phone for quickly sharing on FB, email or txting.
So all in all my opinion is that it's a fun little gadget but you have to get it knowing what it's strengths and weaknesses are.

It may be big concern for all smart phone photographer that there is delay in capture compare you reviewed from your phone. You can not ignore that delay. If you want to catch a moment, you will be regret that you got this camera.

Disappointed in DSC-QX10/B
on September 27, 2013
Posted by: SweetiePoops
Awkward to handle with phone. Not easy to hold.
Freezes when trying to use Zoom on phone.
There is no way to review SD card in camera without inserting into computer.
Slow lag time between camera and phone.
Sony lacks good information on using the camera.
Can't take rapid pictures with this camera.
I have the RX 1R and Rx100ii, so there is no real need by me for this product.
I just received authorization to return.
Normally love Sony Cameras, this is the first time I am disappointed.

Nice portable camera
on September 24, 2014
Posted by: Gusarp
I bought this QX10 as a present for my wife, I have the QX100 for my self.
It is very light, the zoom is very nice and the G lenses provide a good quality picture.
It is a must to upgrade the firmware to 3.0. will let use the shutter button in 2 steps mode and also ISO setting at P mode. Also will improve the video quality but I have not test it. And pairing via NFC with latest PlayMemories App update is a just couple of seconds..
The play memories App upgrade also gave some new features as thumb settings control, 3 types of grids and a mirror mode for selfies addicts.
The camera itself is lightweight but seems very well made and solid.
It comes with a W battery and the cellphone adapter. A button and a small twist can detach the camera from the adapter letting you take odd angles shots, very nice results so far.

It is small and light enough to fit a front pocket, a very handy device.
I will recommend it 100%
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the idea...software could be better
on December 8, 2013
Posted by: Ziekencam
The idea is fantastic! I love that I can attach a better lens and take unique photos. The disappointment came when I realized that I'm not able to use this lens as a replacement for my camera on my phone. For example, like not being able to use third party apps with the lens. Also, the app is very minimal and doesn't give you much option or control. I was expecting software similar to what I see on the Nex 7 camera I own. The lag time to connect the camera is frustrating as well. I have an iPhone5 and it doesn't just connect - there's a process. I have the QX10 but I'd rather take it back and get the QX100, but only if Sony fixes some of these issues and soon. Great idea, great camera just needs a lot of bugs worked out.
