Sony Innovates - "Lens Cameras" for Phones

Sony has been brilliant again. Rumoured "Lens Camera" that clip onto the phone and interface via an app using wifi. Unlike clip-on lenses, it comes with its own lens and sensor, making it independent of the phone's built-in camera. Apparently, there will be two models, one with more zoom range while another comes with a large 1" sensor, similar to the one used in Sony's popular RX100 series.

If this is true, I'd say Sony is innovating quite well lately and could be spearheading a new form of photography here.

Update! Yes, rejoice because the rumours are true! DSC-QX10 retails at US$249 while the DSC-QX100 will set you back US$499. Enjoy the official video below:
