Sony DSC-QX100 Smart shot Digital Camera (20.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, 3.6x opt. Zoom, 28mm Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T lens with F1.8, HD video recording) black (accessories)

Customer Review

The QX100 is a very good camera with which to take beautiful pictures can shoot and their technical interior as to be proud more. The Carl Zeiss lens meets the quality standards that they are put in the name and the image sensor of the camera with its 20 megapixels is quite remarkable.
For snapshots, the device is not suitable because it simply takes too long to put it in the state ready for use:
1. Enable Wi-Fi
2. Fasten QX100 on Smartphone
3. Activate QX100
4. Waiting that combines the smartphone using the PlayMemories app to the WLAN of the QX100
After that usually are 10 to 15 seconds have passed and the opportunity to snapshot is over. Since it is only with a smartphone faster and generally better off.

The device is recommended if you do not own high-quality digital camera, and is reluctant to carry two devices. However, it must be remembered here that, although the QX100 comes up with great hardware and can shoot beautiful pictures that PlayMemories app limited the potential of the camera incredibly. And this app is unfortunately compulsory and can not be avoided if you want to use the camera on your smartphone. The setting options on offer from the app are as "lean" and at worst, to be described as "castration" at best.
The app is very beginner-friendly, but that's just because that one has been playing around after 10 minutes with all the options enough to understand them.

Conclusion: Sony has here outdone themselves in terms of innovation and ingenuity, and again in terms of the hardware produces a high quality product, which allows you to shoot beautiful photos. Unfortunately, the same can not be said of the software department, because this seemed to be approached underpaid and without motivation to the task.
