Various camera manufacturers are trying to find new and creative ways to remain relevant in the age of the smartphone camera while others are looking at ways to integrate their technology and products to popular smartphones. Sony's QX line of lens and camera attachments which use your iPhone or Android device's display as a touchscreen. It seems Sony is releasing a new model that now takes many of its NEX interchangeable lenses (and possibly its larger Alpha lenses via an adaptor).
SonyAlphaRumours states the following, "These are the first pictures of the ILCE-QX1 E-mount camera. The third QX camera after the QX10 and QX100 (here one Bay). But unlike the other two this hasn’t a fixed lens but is an E-mount module. It has an APS-C sensor (not sure yet but should have the same great A6000 24MP sensor with fast af), built-in flash. Intriguing!
