Portal SonyAlpha Rumors that specializes in rumors and leaked information about Sony's products, claims that they have got the information from the "top sources" close to Sony about a developmtent of a very interesting addition to the Xperia smartphones, external camera with its own sensor that will be able to connect to smartphones.

Similar idea was presented by the Artefact group at the CES 2011 when they showed their conceptual product called WVVIL (Wireless Vievfinder Interchangeable Lens), which acts as the gadget that is mentioned in this rumor. Since WVIL has not yet showed at the market, there is a possibility that Sony bought the patent from the Artefact group or that they are cooperating with them in the preparation of this external camera. The same rumor says that the gadget will have Sony's 20.2 Megapixel Exmor R sensor and f/1.8 Carl Zeis lens and will have embedded NFC and WiFi to be able to automatically transfer images to the Sony Xperia smartphones.
