Sony isn't hiding the fact it's going niche with the Xperia Pro-I. If you want a phone with professional-grade tools for videography and photography then it's certainly worth considering.

Attractive and practical design; Physical headphone port is a plus; Great results from primary camera; Speedy and smooth performance;
Manual controls won't be for everyone; Prohibitively expensive; Accidental presses on buttons are frequent; Battery life isn't great;
