The editors didn't like
720p display
Cumbersome overlay
Likely expensive
Screen lowres compared to others
Mediocre camera for the price (despite being a tablet)
Lower resolution is noticeable at times
Volume rockers could be more tactile and pronounced
Overpriced
Relatively weak Wi-Fi performance
Sony has filled the interface up with so much pre-loaded software that it looks cluttered before you've even downloaded your first app. Opting for a higher resolution display would help it compete against many of its rivals
Mediocre camera performance
More expensive than rivals
Camera is prone to over-heating
Some additional software is a little clunky
Plastic on the Compact isn't as nice as the metal on the Z3
