Part of the Sony α family, it is one of Sony's "Smart Lens" cameras, alongside the QX10, QX30 and QX100, that are designed to be specifically used with a smartphone. It has a 20.1 megapixel APS-C-size sensor, uses an interchangeable E-mount lens as its highlight feature, supports power zoom but no in-body image stabilization, and has a pop-up flash unlike its other QX siblings.{{cite web |url=http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7211713202/a-guided-tour-of-the-sony-qx1-and-qx30?slide=6 |title=A guided tour of the Sony QX1 and QX30 smartphone cameras: Digital Photography Review |publisher=dpreview.com |access-date=2014-09-05}}

Features

On the ILCE-QX1 itself, there are buttons for on/off, flash pop-up, lens release and shutter, which are enough for standalone shooting.{{cite web |url=http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7211713202/a-guided-tour-of-the-sony-qx1-and-qx30?slide=8 |title=A guided tour of the Sony QX1 and QX30 smartphone cameras: Digital Photography Review |publisher=dpreview.com |access-date=2014-09-05}} But due to its lens-style design, the camera module requires an iOS or Android device, connected through the camera's Wi-Fi via the Imaging Edge (formerly PlayMemories) Mobile application, to utilize the device's screen as its viewfinder and camera controls, while also serving as additional storage medium via its integrated wireless file transfer feature.{{cite web |url=http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-qx1/sony-qx1A.HTM |title=Sony QX1 Review: Preview |publisher=imaging-resource.com |access-date=2014-09-05}}

The ILCE-QX1 allows capture in RAW format, but RAW files can only be directly wirelessly transferred to Android devices and not to iOS devices as of September 2014.Video capture is possible in Full HD at 30 fps, and battery life for still capture is rated at 440 shots.{{cite web |url=http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7211713202/a-guided-tour-of-the-sony-qx1-and-qx30?slide=9 |title=A guided tour of the Sony QX1 and QX30 smartphone cameras: Digital Photography Review |publisher=dpreview.com |access-date=2014-09-05}}
