Seconded - I have the x-compact, which I mainly bought for dev stuff, but have ended up really liking it. It's nice and small, battery is pretty decent, and camera is very good.

And the camera button is a godsend if you spend time outdoors. Do all Sony phones have that?

Yeah definitely- also seems to hold up in the rain outside. I have no idea about the camera button- my previous phone was a nokia windows phone which also had that, so I just assumed it was a standard thing for phones these days.

Apparently, since Android 7 you can double click the power button to go straight to camera. So it's sort of a camera button for all phones. You don't get the two stage button for locking focus though.

Thirded, upgraded my Z3c to the X compact and I'm very pleased.
