Sony to launch lenses with built-in image sensors, screenless cameras that can be attached to smartphones
2013-07-19 16:17:41| Extremetech
Not content with reinventing and dominating the mirrorless digital camera market, Sony is preparing to launch a lens with a built-in sensor, power source, and WiFi connectivity -- or, to put it another way, a digital camera without a body or screen. The idea is that you'll mount these lenses to your smartphone, and then a WiFi link will allow your phone to act as a viewfinder and take photos. Alternatively, you or a friend can hold the lens, or you can leave the lens lying somewhere else -- and as long as you're within WiFi range, you can see through the lens and capture photos.
