Micro Four Thirds lens system. Tilting rear display. In-body stabilization. 4.2fps continuous shooting. In-camera Wi-Fi.

Slow. Clunky controls. Bundled lenses aren't great. Omits in-body flash.

Performance and Conclusions The S-1 has no shortage of useful features, but performance is disappointing. The camera takes an eternity—2.9 seconds—to start and capture an in-focus shot. Autofocus is also poky—in good light it requires an average of...

Sharp 10x zoom lens. Good image quality at higher ISOs. On-camera shutter and zoom controls. Wi-Fi with NFC. iOS and Android compatibility. 5.6fps burst capability. Inexpensive

Awkward to use. Slow to lock focus and fire. Doesn't support SDXC memory. No support for Windows Phone. No flash

There's very little question as to where JK Imaging got its inspiration for the Kodak Pixpro SL10 Smart Lens ($229). From a design perspective, it's a clone of Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-QX10, the first mass-market attempt at a digital camera that is...

25x zoom lens gets you really close ; Excellent image quality with outdoor shots ; It can be used independently to shoot photos

Bulky size doesn’t make it discrete in the pockets ; Latency issues with smartphone app & capturing content ; Pricey

The Kodak PIXPRO SL25 is the company’s highest priced smartphone attachable lens at the moment, where it’s slapped with an MSRP of $299. They do have another model, the SL10, which features a 10x zoom lens and is priced less at $230. Honestly, it’s a...

10x optical zoom lens ; Optical Image Stabilisation ; Full HD Video recording ; Zoom can be used in videos ; Wi-Fi / NFC connectivity ; Remote control software gives good control of camera settings ; 6fps continuous shooting and quick shot to shot time...

No built in flash - see SL5 ; Larger (and heavier) than the ; Sony Cyber-shot QX10 ; Slow shutter response ; Slow focus when using optical zoom in videos ; Slow refresh rate on smartphone ; Average noise performance ; Can't turn the sounds off

The slightly smaller SL5, with 5x optical zoom lens and built in Xenon flash could be a better option, as it offers optical zoom, along with a flash, which will be of benefit particularly in places where the LED flash of a smartphone won't be of much...
