Sony created quite a buzz with their QX Lens Cameras! And obviously other giants from the electronics industry will try to catch up as soon as it gets. And here is a first rumor about a Samsung QX clone 🙂
We have been told that Samsung is making a first QX alike camera having those specs:
10x zoom starting 24mm (no information about aperture)
20mpx sensor
stabilization
full hd video recording
NFC, wifi connection
But I still don’t know if that “idea” of doing photography with a smartphone will become very popular. Looks more like a niche product for now…

Oh no! Not another gimicy lens camera 🙁
I wish camera companies would copy the RX100 instead.
You are right. This is only an expensive stupid toy.
That’s why lots of ppl will buy it coz it s a funny toy. They are like IPhone users,who want what is the newest even if they wont use more than 10% of the power inside unless for gaming or entertainment on smartphone, the one feature which needs power improvement
True. According to Sony representatives QX was the most pre-ordered Sony camera ever. So having it as a fun toy was definitely a great success for them.
People will find ways to use these like Go-Pro cams, stick them on drones, etc.
If the video is any good, you can probably use a bunch to get Matrix like effects.
yea, if there were one of these that could be waterproof, it would be a bit more. especially if you could use it a long distance away from your phone(ie. if I wanted one for surfing)
Samsung should concentrate on its nx line instead. It’s loosing customers by not presenting a camera with evf in the rangefinder form factor. These are just toys.
They should concentrate on the NX line to Beat Sony with an NX30 with brillant non sequentiell EVF, Great Sensor, very speedy AF-C and IBIS!
I totally agree.
Sony, but NX doesn’t stand a chance against NEXes. If anything – they should focus around large sensor, cheap point & shoot. Fighting in prices on 1″ and APS-C markets they could easily gain ground without bothering too much. They lost fight on mirrorless market 2 years ago.
Of all things to copy…this is not the one to copy.
Have these guys ever had an original idea?
Samsung: You’re pathetic.
Samsung do have a huge base of smartphone customers to market this to.
I imagine if Apple made a copy, their fans would be all over it – and most would believe they invented it.
