One thing I wish Sony would do is manual focus I miss that on G2 and Nokia phones. The macro on the Sony isn't that great but I don't do many macros anyway

I wouldn't say it does a bad job though. I remember the old  phones took great macro shots. There is a thread on here somewhere.

Well the Z3/C has a minimum focus distance of 120 mm, Z2 can get nearer at 100 mm. Dunno how near the phones could get.

The C905 had 10 cm. I doubt many other SE phones had one less than that.

There is the defocus thing in the camera which works OK. It's no big deal I only do the odd macro I just remembered last time I was trying to focus on a cobweb in the garden with the LG G2 with sunlight on it. The camera wouldn't focus right but using manual focus worked a treat. After some hit and miss shots it did OK

Which is equivalent to 100 mm. I dunno how the Cybershot phones can get amazing macro. Simple large sensor size and small pixel count? Dunno.

I think a lot of it was the talent of the photographer too.
Anyway, can anyone recommend a reputable site to purchase a 64GB micro SD card?

The Sony Z3 Compact Is Android's Best Kept Secret
Yup, it's a shame more US carriers haven't picked this up.

Still, $529 unlocked is not a bad price when it goes on sale there through Sony

That's a great price, cheaper than most here in the UK anyhow, works out about £332.
