These won't be available until I'm back in the UK in late January, but I'm putting this out now as these are rather odd cameras that potential buyer might want a bit of time to consider. Basically, they're cameras that use your smartphone as their screen. They connect via wifi and a smartphone with NFC works more conveniently. They are all lightly used and in great condition. If anybody is seriously interested, I can supply photos.
The lightest and most basic model is the QX10. It has a 10x zoom (25-250mm equivalent) and 1/2.3" 18mp sensor, so basically similar to a decent point and shoot. More details here.
Used ones are currently £110 on Amazon but it's not worth that much. £60 posted inside the UK via RM signed for ONO.
Next up in the series is the QX100. This is based on the much lauded Sony RX100 mark 2, so a good 1" sensor 28-100mm equivalent lens etc, but (big BUT) it does not save in RAW format. If it did, I would be keeping it. More information here. There is one for sale used on Amazon at £250 at the moment but I think £100 posted inside the UK via RM signed for is more reasonable.
Finally, there is the QX1. This is a very good camera, based around Sony's Alpha system cameras. As such, it has an APS-C sensor and it takes Sony's E-mount lenses. I have the SELP 16-50 lens (29-75mm equivalent, I think) that I can supply with it. This one can save in RAW format. More info here. The camera isn't available on Amazon UK at the moment (the lens is, at £145 used) but the camera and lens are on Amazon US for $597 used. I could let them go for £200 ONO posted inside the UK via RM signed. I would be willing to let the camera go without the lens for slightly less but prefer not to split.
I should point out that, although these cameras will give you photo quality the same as their equivalent standard cameras, as these cameras connect to your phone via wifi, there is a delay of a few seconds while you wait for the connection, so they are not as convenient as a stand alone camera.
