With the QX10 attached to my phone, I shot the best images I've ever taken "with my smartphone." The QX10 has image quality on par with other similarly priced point-and-shoots, only using a smartphone.

Ever since digital cameras got small and low power enough to fit inside laptop lids, pens and other small objects, phone manufacturers have been trying to create the perfect camera phone.

If you have read my recent column - " Instagram, EyeEm an Co. - or how your Smartphone Photos can become your own Art " - you already know that I'm a big fan of smartphone photography since my smartphone is always with me.

The Sony DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 lens cameras for use with smartphones seem to have polarized opinions in the press with regard to their usefulness with some critics claiming that they are products that are looking for a purpose.

A bold experiment to improve smartphone photography, but its failings are manifold

Fed up with your smartphone camera No problem-just snap on a new one.

Wish the video playback was better. When taking a video it is choppy on my S7. turned off Bluetooth as recommend . still no change. Works great for taking remote photos.

I think Sony needs to update the app. The app is not stable and cannot delete the photo in the micro sd card. By the way, maybe bluetooth 4.0 connection will be better than wifi.

The color is pretty nice and match the gold iPhone 5s; It works good, gives you a more high quality photo, plus 10x optical zoom for iPhone; If you just save 200M pixels into cellphone, you can easy to share it immediately

It is easy to disconnect or connect slow down if I leave my iPhone 5s just about 30cm far away the len; I do not have NFC, so the wifi password post inside the cap looks stupid and also cannot be change

I'm using it for one month it gets good pics on day, not so good in the night or low light but even much better than any smartphone mean nokia Lumia 1520 or iPhone 5s. For it price I recommend it :)

I saw this item on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I thought it was a great idea for a camera. Pros: Great quality photo. It's small enough to carry around in your pocket.. For $169, it was an awesome price. Cons: No flash. It makes your phone heavier. You do notice the difference.
