Smartphone-Paired Cameras

The DxO One Works With Your iPhone to Take DSLR-Quality Photos

The DxO One is a miniature DSLR-quality camera that is used in conjunction with iPhones and iPads. The camera is fitted with its very own sensor and lens to take photos, but it utilizes your iPhone or iPad for viewfinding and control panel functions.

The camera offers 3x digital zoom and comes with a wide variety of shooting modes that include full auto and full manual, and is capable of capturing video at 1080p/30 frames per second or 720p/120 frames per second.

The DxO One camera can be plugged into the Lightning port of the iPhone and can swivel around relative to the phone, thereby allowing users to see the screen whilst holding the camera at high or low angles. This camera combines some of the qualities of DSLR photography with the compactness of smartphone picture-snapping.
