I prefer Z2 too. Speakers were hidden and less iPhone-ish, edging had more identity, more masculinity and less Nokia.
About the corners. There was a quick chit chat that the corners are made from a specially shock absorbent material. It was kind of washed over very quickly but it may explain the visible segmentation of the corner pieces.

I can second that.. think one of my biggest disappointments will be the non-release of the Z2 compact. Even if Sony didn't have any reason to release it.. :C
I kind of didn't like the Z1C that much, and it's the same for the Z3C
As I see no reason to chose Z3C over the Z1C, I think I'll stick with either Z1C or the iPhone 5s as upgrade from my ZL

Seeing the copper z3 reminds me of the days when the Z was announced, purple model leaked before announcement....
I knew I had to reserve my judgement of the color until seen with my naked eyes.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised as I was with purple back then...

So the previous brown colour rumor for z3 turns out to be true. Though it is not really brown. Still hoping for a dark brown colour. That will be awesome.

The Z3 looks great.. best looking device from Sony since the "arc"

Seriously, why would anyone want to attach a big ass lens to the phone, rather than just having a separate camera?
I don't see the point either.. if you are going to carry two devices, why not just carry a smartphone + DSLR ?
Posted by miromiromi
it's supposedly to lower the price of those cameras and to allow them to have bigger display viewfinders. also, they are supposed to make it easier to shoot in challenging situations since the viewfinder and lens can be taken apart for more versatile shooting.
some people's shot of whiskey but not everyone's cup of tea.

Agreed.
Don't know why Sony left it...
Iconic design.
This Z3 looks minimalist and with a mature design.
Rounded corners are really good for heat dissipation and very confortable to hold.
Let's see the launch price here in Brazil. (i bet in over 1200 USD)

Optical Image Stabilization would explain why the upper bezel has to be so big. I remember about front speakers but still, it probably requires the whole thickness of the device to fit 1/2.3" module with optical image stabilization - of course if it really has OIS

That would be awesome, I hope it isn't a misunderstanding with Steady Shot from Z2/Z1.

doesn't sound believable considering the thinness. hopefully it's true but the z3 compact's like of a microsSD slot disappoints.
Posted by zxcorr
omg I seriously hope that's just a typo on Z3C spec sheet. It's got to have microSD slot. I mean come on
Posted by goldenface
I'll be surprised if it does actually have OIS, I'll believe it when I read the official specs.

Disappointing that the Tablet doesn't not have a 2k screen.
Posted by Ricky D
Z3 Tablet Compact looks nice. Really don't need one but if it's a good price I may not be able to resist.
I like that the naming scheme has finally some semblance of consistency.
Not sure I will buy Z3 itself, may just go for Z4, but the gamble that the bezels will grow between Z3 and Z4
is one I'm not certain I'm ready for.
