Still the best camera around and only one to come close to it would be SONY Xperia Z5 which is the current DxO champ but in overall image quality, nothing comes close to 41MP sensor of 1020. As a phone, its a bit slow if you do intensive tasks as FB, Whatsapp etc. but it still functions OK.

Few software quirks but otherwise flawless here for the last six months and I own a Xperia ZR and Z3 as well. Am happy with performance of all three.

They are resilient but not invincible, something sharp and metallic probably in your pocket did the damge.

The best camera unmatched got better, focusing has definitely improved with the Denim update and now its close to my Z3s focusing ability.

The Gorilla glass lens is quite resilient to scratches so that must have taken some real bad luck to scratch them.

They were being sold relatively cheap here in India by Flipkart but now they are out of stock and am afraid won't be back in near future.

As a SONY Xperia Z3 owner, I fully concur that the 1020 is the best camera phone ever. Also for basic needs its quite good with good call quality. Skype and Whatsapp works and so does Gmail and MS Office, thats all I need it for. For heavier stuff I use the quad core Z3.

Its a great camera and a very good phone which does functions like office, email and Skype with ease so yes, a good buy overall and bests most compact digital cams in results.
