DxOMark Mobile report: Sony Xperia Z3+
The Xperia Z3+ is the international version of the Japan-only Xperia Z4. In the camera department, at least on paper, it’s only a minor upgrade over the predecessor Xperia Z3. The 1/2.3-inch 20.7MP Sony Exmor sensor and F2.0 25mm equiv. lens are shared with the previous model.

There’s a Manfrotto made for always on similar to the Minis but very different in execution, more like a plate with fold out nubs...

However I only really started thinking seriously about medium format in late 2014 when two things happened: 1) A friend introduced me to the work of a spectacular wedding...

So, the chances are, if you have any kind of camera, you can use it to shoot video. However, just because it’s easier to get started, that doesn’t mean it’s any...
