the EXO's cleverly designed camera plugs into a lightning connector turning your iPhone or iPad into the display for its 20 megapixel one inch sensor f-18 camera and that's not its only trick I'm Lauren from CNET and this is the DxO one to use the one you slide down the cover to turn it on and to pop out the lightning connector then plug it into your device if you stick it in upside down it's good for selfies DX's app lets you work in automatic mode or with manual settings you can shoot DNG RAW files as well as DX OS proprietary super RAW format superraw files have to be processed on a computer which the bundled software does automatically when you connect via USB using the supplied software and it leverages the power of the computer to do a much better job of noise reduction than can be done in a tiny camera the photo quality is of course better than you can get out of an iphone or ipad and it does a great job with selfies in good light it's about the same as a similar full camera like the more recent models in the Sony rx100 series the JPEGs that it produces in low-light aren't quite as good but the super all versions are better the rotating lightning connector is convenient if a bit wobbly the camera doesn't fall out though it's also not really fast enough to focus and shoot anything moving faster than a walk and the time it takes to initialize when you turn it on can be a bit frustrating plus while it charges fast via USB and you can recharge it while you're shooting via a portable power pack the battery life is poor and it's worse for low-light shooting it's also kind of expensive running six hundred dollars in the US and five hundred pounds in the UK but it's a great creative adjunct to an iPhone or iPad if you really feel like spending the money and don't mind dealing with some quirks before the next firmware upgrade quirks you say you'll have to read about them
