Sony's next smartphone-mounted camera will take interchangeable lenses


If you're looking to be the king of Instagram, Sony's about to give you the ultimate smartphone weapon, judging by a leak from Xperia Blog . The site posted several images that show the Sony ILCE-QX1, a lens camera that works with interchangeable E-Mount style lenses. That would be a step up from its existing lens camera lineup, consisting of the QX10 and QX100. The QX100 is based on Sony's fantastic RX100 camera, with a similarly fantastic price of $500. Assuming this rumor pans out, the QX1 would have an even larger APS-C (26.7mm) sensor, and would take any compatible E-Mount lens. There's no other specs but as before, we'd expect that your smartphone will control the QX1 and capture images from it, with a mount that adapts to a wide variety of handsets. It'll also likely have a built-in memory card. There's no pricing yet, but as a rule, interchangeable-lens cameras are usually more expensive than fixed-lens models -- but then again, Sony tends to break that rule.
