Blackberry Passport

I've got a new mobile phone, a Blackberry Passport Silver. Great phone for people like me. I didn't expect much from the camera, but it seems pretty good, and it has one great feature: It shoots square photos to fit the fantastic square screen of the Passport. It's a 200g Rolleihasselflexblad :D

nice night shot, is that image stabilized?

Is the sensor in the Passport a native square sensor, or does it crop real time into a square?

The camera has OIS, and it seems to work extremely well. Unfortunately, the sensor is just a run-of-the-mill 4:3 aspect ratio, 13MP sensor that is reduced to 9MP when shooting in square format. Still, the shooting experience is like that of a square format camera since the screen is large (4.5") and square with a resolution of 1,440 x 1,440 (453 PPI). Lens is f/2.0.
