Sony nailed it with this camera
Sony broke the camera mold with this model. A lot on people do not like the concept...well they have not use it! Some way cool and interesting angle can be achieved with this camera. Takes an excellent picture too.

sony dsc-qx18
i have had this camera for about a month now and it has worked pretty good so far. this camera has fair image quality, much better than my iphone 6 which if you have seen is pretty good. some of the pros are- image quality, small compact size, rechargeable battery. the cons are- takes a while to connect to my phone at least, after taking a while to take the picture, it takes about 2 seconds to 'fetch' the image', which can be the difference in getting that awesome shot, it doesn't take a regular SD card and you need a weird case. in conclusion this is a good camera for beginners and taking nice landscape shots but horrible for action shots. i could not include sample images because they were too large, sorry

Once you get the software working, it's great
If you're a techy, I would highly recommend the DSC-QX10. If you're not there are some issues that you might want to consider first before buying it. I was pleasantly surprised that it works without a memory card and that it can also work with Sony's RM-LVR1. That's the good news. There are several things that are both annoying and frustrating. The battery in the ActionCam is a NP-BX1 and the battery in the Cyber-shot is an NP-BN. I would be nice if they were both the same. Sony offers no support for Windows XP. If you need to do firmware updates or install the PlayMemories software you have to look elsewhere. In order for me to get the software to work on my Android device I had to carefully read the FAQs online and guess as to what applied to me and in addition I used a buffer flusher. It was not obvious as to which solution helped. Just because your Android device isn't listed by Sony it doesn't that it won't work. My phone is a Oneplus One and, after several failed attempts, Sony's software now works fine. The software is a work in progress. I hope that in future editions it will have lighting profiles so that it will be easier to take photos and movies in different lighting conditions. In order to use the DSC-QX10 with the RM-LVR1 you may have to do a firmware update. The latest version is 3.0. My Cyber-shot lens had version 1.0. Now that I've solved various problems, it now works as advertised.
