Useful for special moments

It has a wide dynamic range, more than my smartphone, the zoom is useful but the time to take a picture with it is long. You have to turn on, unlock the phone, open the app, wait for a successful connection, focus and shoot, not recommended for instant moments, easiest from the phone. I don't know how to delete photos in SD, it's impossible to format them, make sure your SD card is empty before traveling, after that it's impossible to delete photos. Battery life is short, make sure you turn it…

Pros
  • Long range
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Suitable when you need more than just quick shots. It takes a few seconds to start up and sync with your phone, so it works best when you want to take photos. The smaller lens (this one) is ideal for wide-angle shots and perspective. Photos are stored both on the phone and on the micro SD card. The images on the card are much larger files, so you can really blow them up. YOU DO NOT NEED WIFI TO USE THIS! It communicates with your phone over its own network, so you can be off the beaten path and

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Although it's a little awkward to use the qx10 over Wi-Fi it works and of course the lens and sensor are in mine Case a big step up from the lens and sensor found on an iPhone 5s smartphone. My goal is to take a better camera with me than just a smartphone. My comment is that the case was made to make carrying the camera/lens around cumbersome. You'll need a small compact case with a belt holster, or even just a pouch to slip in your pocket. If you carry a backpack or briefcase with you all the

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Never got it to work

I really can't rate any of the features on this camera as I literally couldn't get it to work. The first problem was that all the instructions in the box were in Chinese or Japanese. The second problem was that you have to use your smartphone as a viewfinder to get the camera to work. As it appears to be an old camera it says you need to download an app which doesn't seem to exist anymore so I went to Sony's website and downloaded the app from their own website. The camera works with Bluetooth,

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • too dumb
