    There are occasions, whether you are a pro or amateur photographer, that you wish you didn’t have to lug around your large DLSR or look too touristy with a compact camera. Moreover, there are times where you wish had a little more creative control over your iPhone camera.

    The photography specialists at DxO have developed a device that allows you to take your mobile photography to the next level. Their pocket-sized DxO One is a plug-in camera that takes DLSR quality photos with iPhone connected via the lightning port. This is made possible thanks to an ultra-high quality f/1.8, 32mm equivalent aspherical lens with a variable 6-blade iris, and a 1-inch 20.2MP CMOS BSI sensor capable of capturing high-resolution images even in very low light. Moreover, its battery life should last roughly 200 photos.

    Once users download the free app they will have complete control over, ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, along with various shooting modes that are typically found on a traditional camera.

    $599.
