What makes this camera interesting is that it is a camera ahead of its time. At the time this camera was released, the Wi-Fi performance of the smartphone was not very good, so the connection to the camera body was not smooth and was severely disconnected. But now, as the Wi-Fi performance of smartphones has improved, the performance of this camera has also improved haha . What a funny camera! The advantage is that a fairly large crop sensor can be carried very compactly, another is the presence of a Sigma 18-50 lens. This camera is a camera that is enough to revive with just the Sigma 18-50.

Or you could just throw on the Sony 70-350mm OSS G telezoom lens... Now you have a high quality zoom that provides images a smartphone cannot get.

I think it depends how much lag you are willing to accept. I use my phone as a remote for my a7r iv when taking long exposure photos. Even with a much newer device, the wifi display in imaging edge on a phone has way too much lag to be used as the only display.

@@JimIBobIJones The lag isnt bad on fuji's new app. Sony is just dogshit at making software integration happen with their stuff, which is not new for camera brands and their app support. I really hope the hype from companies like alice and switch lens push more brands to revive a qx1 successor or an apsc point and shoot like ricoh.

The only thing a product like that needs is an easy pairing. Imagine if it is an Apple product. You turn it on - it connects to your phone and launches a camera app instantly, no any lags during shots. Sony still make it's own smartphones, so it would be a really nice addition if it work like that to their Xperia pro lineup.

Yeah I have one, and I still sometimes use it for videos using a tripod. There is now an descent EDM software to get a preview on ipad or phone. The quality of the image is much much better than my phone or a GoPro (I have the 6th edition), so it can still be useful to me. When I bought it I imagined myself shooting with it outside like the video trailer. But it is so slow to connect and to take picture it becomes frustrating. The mood of the instant scene you wanted to take is gone by the time the camera is ready. I should have try it properly instead of believing the ads blindly lol. :)
