It's quite baffling for someone buy a phone as a camera

does we really need a very very good camera in a phone? if really interesting in photographing why not choosing a dslr which is better choice

For low light shots/night photography, how do you mount your cameraphone on a tripod? Can anyone kindly demonstrate? Thanks.

Ohh. I baru keluar gua/baru dapat internet. What exactly do you call that thing? Cameraphone tripod? Cameraphone stand?

Thanks bro! Can get it in camera shop or handphone shop?

ordered one. arrived. can't fit the HTC One. meh, phone these days big big.

The idea behind adding QX10 and QX100 is for serious photographers who demand high performing sensors and good optics. For general smartphone users, the G lens on the Honami is already good enough. Although the G branding on Honami could be a marketing gimmick, but the fact that Sony G lenses outperforming many of Canon L lenses will already give pressure to Sony so that they take the name of G lens seriously.

I believe the QX10 and QX100 are meant to test the market, with both of them so differently spec-ed. Sony could see how the market reflects since the one buying QX10 will probably not buy the QX100, thus giving a vision on how "general smartphone users" will spend money when it comes to serious photography.

I also agree that it will not sell well, but only in Malaysia, we are yet to see the global sales and maybe it might surprise us?

I agree on the size too, given that the Honami seems so slim. I agree it's not pocketable but based on my experience, it's no harm carrying something that size when you carry a handbag that girls usually carry (my girlfriend in my case). If they are made slightly smaller, it's a good addition.

Another thing I concern is, the education of photography towards general smartphone users who aren't aware of how a high quality images should look like. With these smartphone users knowing how good is it when pictures are sharp, clean and rich in colour, they will look into getting more image quality. So telling people the importance of image quality will open the path to these camera-oriented smartphones to enter the market.

These are just my thoughts, so feel free to correct me.
