Shutter crazy, 2013-2020 (Lumia 1020, Xperia 5 ii)
(All About Windows Phone)

I`ve said for a while that in some ways the Sony Xperia 5 ii (and the newer mark `iii`, which I`m hoping to get back in) is a modern day Lumia 1020 in terms of who it`s aimed at. Think about it. A focus (pun intended) on pure imaging, with Pro camera controls, a degree of genuine zoom, a physical shutter button, excellent 3.5mm audio out (and microphone `in`), decent speakers (ok, the 1020 is just mono), all in a form factor that`s genuinely pocketable (unusual for 2021). With this in mind, and - obviously - just for fun, I thought I`d take advantage of a decently sunny winter day to pitch the two phone cameras head to head for the first time on the All About sites.
