Sony DSC-QX10/W

★★★★☆ 3.9 (309)

Its 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor and 10x optical zoom lens attach directly to a smartphone, bypassing the phone's limited built-in optics. The 176g body and integrated IBIS provide a portable, stabilized shooting experience that clips onto your device. This lens-style camera is best for casual smartphone photographers wanting genuine optical zoom without carrying a separate point-and-shoot.
