| Sony's SPA-TA1 tablet attachment turns your tablet into a serious digital camera. |
Remember Sony's lens-type camera attachments for smartphones? Well, the company aims to do the same to its line of tablets with the launch of SPA-TA1, a clip-on attachment that gives the tablet serious photo-taking power.
The SPA-TA1 is not a camera or a lens in itself; it's just a clip-on attachment with several "arm" sizes that enables you to mount Sony's lens-type cams onto a tablet.
The actual cameras (though Sony's lens-type cams look like lenses, they're really full-blown cameras) are the same as before: the DSC-QX100 is a high zoom model that retails for $249, while the high-end DSC-QX10 costs $499.
The SPA-TA1 will come in six arm sizes, accomodating for devices from 85-190mm in width. That pretty much covers all Sony phablets and tablets, from the Xperia Z Ultra to the Sony Vaio Tap 11.
According to Xperia Blog, the Sony SPA-TA1 will launch on Apr. 4 2014 in Japan at a suggested retail price of 3,675 Yen ($36).
