I like the idea of Sony’s “mostly lens” camera system. The QX10 and QX100 are lenses that contain all the smarts and communicate with your smart phone via WiFi. 3.6x optical zoom, 5472 x 3648 image size, and Carl Zeiss f/1.8 lens. But the available mounting bracket is limited to 75mm, big enough for a smart phone but not big enough for a tablet.

This new SPA-TA1 tablet attachment will solve that problem, catering for devices between 85mm and 190mm in width. Six arms are available in various sizes (see below) weighing 31 grams. The Sony SPA-TA1 tablet attachment will launch on 4 April 2014 in Japan at a suggested retail price of 3,675 Yen (£21, €26, $36). We would hope to see a western launch of this useful attachment soon after.

Hmmm. Shooting with a lens mounted on my tablet sounds a little clumsy to me. Looking forward to seeing the reviews.
