Tiny Camera Turns Your iPhone Into a Lens-Style Shooter
DxO One, and it’s built around the same 1-inch-type sensor Sony uses in the RX100 Mark III. (That alone is a great start.) It also has an F1.8 lens, manual exposure controls, a top shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second, and a few RAW-shooting modes.
But this is not your average premium point-and-shoot camera: It’s meant to be used while attached to your phone. It’s less than three inches tall, weighs about four ounces, and slips into a breast pocket with ease.
Like the Sony QX and Olympus Air lens cameras, the DxO One is meant to capture much better photos than your phone, then put those photos on your device for easy sharing and archiving.
There’s no optical zoom—the lens has a fixed focal length of 32mm—but the 20-megapixel sensor should allow plenty of room to crop and enlarge.
It’ll cost $600 with all that desktop software thrown in when it ships in September; you can preorder it on the DxO website now.
