The QX10 and QX100 come with a mounting dock that can fit most smartphones with 13mm maximum thickness and 54-75mm width.

The “lens-style” cameras are expected to hit the shelves by the end of this month and will cost $250 for the QX10 while the QX100 would set you off $500. The new lens style cameras are available to pre-order from sony.co.uk. What do you think about this new innovation? Will it be successful?
