Sony DSC-QX100
The clip-on lens packs a 1-inch BSI sensor and Carl Zeiss f/1.8 lens for DSLR-like depth of field and low-light performance on a smartphone. NFC/Wi-Fi one-touch pairing uses your phone’s screen as a viewfinder and enables immediate sharing, adding just 177g of weight. This is best for smartphone users who prioritize background blur and convenience over the bulk of a standalone camera.
