Imo test 9,10,11 = z1
Test 1/8 = HTC one.
Typical Htc One algorism of Over exposure the Scene. Z1 can come closer to the subjects too. but the yellow tint in flash of the htc one is better than the colder z1 other than that i like the Sony
Also the htc one softining the lower right quarter is still there .. ---> check the Sofa and the carpet image.
where is the low light with flash off images of both ? and the extreme low light landscape with Night mode on/off on both ?

Where are the reference shots ? How to tell which one is more accurate.
more natural or pleasing is subjective.
How hard was it for you to take these shots with Z1. Was it SA or did you manually set ISO and then 3.5MP.
How long it took to set up Z1 to take shots.
I dont know what modes were used, but (not being biased) HTC looks beter (I have Z1). I guess in harsh conditions situation can be different, It seems that Z1 is preserving more detail in highlights.

Upload the full sized photos so they can see which was more realistic. You can use tinypic.com for that.

Doesn't tinypic automatically reduce the size of the photos to 1600 pix.
The full size are available from the links posted already and i've viewed them. eg, take test1, url for Z1 photo is
http://s21.postimg.org/ln95pkq8n/image.jpg
to get orginal use
http://postimg.org/image/ln95pkq8n/full
and so on...hence postimg is better than tinypic for our purposes. maybe OP can edit his post to include these links so they are avialibel just by clicking on the photos.
Now, the difficult bit is to agree on the criteria to use to judge these photos.
If we take pixel peeping, the limits of h1 are quite apparent in 1:1 view. The Z1 at 1,536 × 2,048 JPEG (3.1 megapixels) is more clear than the h1 at 1,520 × 2,688 JPEG (4.1 megapixels). Using this criteria ALL the Z1 pics at lower than h1 resolution are better.
Now if you say that its not necessary to do cropping or zooming then this criteria cannot be used. Maybe its unfair too as the Z1 with higher resolution sensor is down sampling and has an unassailable advantage over the h1.
The other thing is the Z1 camera settings have been tweaked, a number of times EV comp is used. Also WB has been manually set in the outdoor shots. Whereas the h1 had WB in auto for all shots and no ev compensation was applied. I don't know how skilled the h1 person who took these photos was but the Z1 person is skilled and took above avg photos as a result. So the camera knowledge of either photographer or lack thereof plays a role in image quality.
As I have also said over at ONE forum...(i have both phones)
The Z1 certainly have the hardware to be a great camera IF Sony ever put in the effort...
The auto feature that (let's be honest) most people will use, sucks big time, and that is a real shame...
The HTC ONE, on the other have a almost perfect auto feature, fast and sharp pictures (with crappy colours), but the hardware is only a 4mp sensor, and that is so last century...
AND nothing software wise can be done to improve on lack of modern hardware...
Who will make a compare to say a Xperia V instead, that would be a lot more interesting...

Dear all members,
I have managed to do a little project of testing the Exmor R Camera on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with comparison with Xperia Play and iphone 4.
Below is a box meant to test out Exmor R Camera which there is a photo of Android Figurine inside the box with total darkness and there is a hole on the top which allow the camera to be placed on top of the hole to test whether the camera can be capable to capture the image inside the box.
Photo of the Box for testing the Exmor R Camera :

2) Putting test on Xperia Arc to take photo under low light condition
3) Putting test on Xperia Play to take photo under low light condition
End Results - Image taken by iphone 4, Xperia Arc and Xperia Play under low light condition
1) iphone 4

3) Xperia Play
xperia arc pwned iphone 4 and play!
Any chance you could repeat this test with video modes?
Im curious
Great work, I am really impressed to see how well the exmor manages to record the colors in near dark
wow ... thx dude ... nice worK
yeeeh ... this is it ... XPERIA ARC
Really nice, Now to put this to good use
Nice!! I want to take some pics in the dark with my Xperia
I have seen a similar video somewhere.. In a SE expo stand..
Yeah here it is ..
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/16/exmor-r™-for-mobile/
As long as I know, it can't take photo in complete dark place. It need just a little light. Or.... may be a little light to bright up the exmor r cencor.
GN Multimedia - Xperia Arc
wooow
Awesome ,, very nice results
Any chance to compare with Galaxy SII's camera ?
I did a quick night time test with the Sony Arc and iPhone 4.
What do you think? Which one is better?
http://honglong1976.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/iphone-4-versus-sony-xperia-arc/
I think the Arc's is better initially as you can see more, but the iPhone 4 photo over exposed slightly wins for me.
The colours on the iPhone for everything, road, fence, sky, etc are all spot on and look like they did at the time. The Sony Arc looks far too processed with the colours being incorrect.
If only Sony would reduce the compression more, and make the phone take more natural photos. Winner!
I heard a rumor that Apple is trying get license Exmor R for next I-Phone

Thanks for the comparison, it is interesting to see how it compares with other phone lenses as well as seeing how it manages to capture pictures under dificult scenarios.
I do not agree as to which is better, to me there is more details and much less noise in the Xperia ARC picture, just look at the number and text on the garbage can and the white text on the light pole to the left. It is all blurry and noisy on the iPhone and much cleaner on the Xperia.
If I sit back and look at all three I would also prefer the more clean look of the xperia arc than the noisy and messy iPhone pictures.
Can you access the picture info and see what shutter speeds and ISOs each image is captured with? You could try to change the scene mode on the ARC as this also changes how the ARC prioritizes between ISO and shutterspeeds as well as limiting the max ISO allowed.
xperia is great in all ways
I'm not sure if you shot your comparisons all in auto or not. But if you did then the results are inconclusive. You need to take more control of the settings to maximize results from each camera. Also, if you shoot at ISO 100 with the arc, you must shoot at ISO 100 with the iPhone for accurate results. If the arc happens to fire a shot at ISO 100 and the iPhone fires its shot at say ISO 250....the iPhone will obviously show more noise. Higher ISO =faster shutter speed and more sensitivity to light but higher ISO also =more noise. Do you mind sharing the EXIF data from the images?
lol Exmor R technologie is from sony so sony holds all rights to that
Arc
the most sensitive camera sensor in mobiles! its far from perfect but there is nothing bettrer than Exmor R in low light conditions
With a quick searched on the internet, I noticed that the Galaxy S4 has a sensor camera equivalent / equal Xperia Z, but your pictures are generated with 4Mb to 6.5MB, while the Xperia Z is 1Mb to 2.5Mb.
Follow the link to get an idea of the difference image!
We must inform Sony that we are completely unhappy with the image compression!

First off, replace "we" with "I". Second, SGS4 uses an unknown sensor with the same megapixel count as the Sony Exmor sensor, but then megapixels mean nothing anyway. Also, while there is a big discrepancy in file size, there is a not very big discrepancy in photo quality while zoomed in (compare photos at http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4_vs_sony_xperia_z-review-915p8.php) if you look at image sharpness and ignore colour saturation and that sort of things. I don't see why the XZ photo file sizes should then be doubled just because the SGS4 has larger photo sizes.
compression isn't bad, in my opinion
its the same sensor.check anadtech s4 dissasmbly.by the way they are using same sensor with different module.i dont have a Z or S4 to talk about quality though
The images quality will much much more better if Sony reduce the compression, or at least let user decide jpeg quality.
I think the issue isn't about compression but denoise algorythms.

Let's hope that there really is an improvement on the camera!
I remember when I bought my Xperia S, the first fw the camera was bad enough, but the latest updates have improved a lot!

Its a combination of both compression (jpeg) and noise suppression (when using high ISO)
The amount of compression/suppression applied is ridiculous.
Does the "developers" of the cam part know anything about digital photography at all?
Paying premium for a low end camera....Sony think the customers are stupid?

Define "today's phone standard". It is one of the better phone cameras out there, as compared to phones like the HTC One. It takes absolutely brilliant shots of landscapes in my experience (borrowed a friend's XZ just to play with the camera)

With pleasure. (both are done on auto/superior auto respectively)
Xperia Arc: ~2.5MB, super long exposure times and thus overexposed images
Xperia V: ~2MB, slightly oversaturated blues
No XS though
But seriously, XZ is pretty darn good for the file size already.
Xperia Z1 CAMERA!!!!
Better image quality with 3MP than 8MP
Today I was playing with the camera on the Z1, but most of the attention I spoke to the resolution
3MP VS 8MP
On pictures with 3MP noticed the following:
less noise!
less artifacts!
much sharper images, especially in weak lighting conditions!

pixel bining from 20MP, read it up.
Probably because 3mp captures less detail, so you see less artifacting/noise
Sure. On your screen.
Print it as wallpaper and miss the pixeles...

The calculation is simply. The size of the sensor can acquire a certain quantity of light then if you use 8mpx or even 20mpx, for the sensor is too much so he have to recover the definition with huge processing and in this case you will see on the pictures all this kind of artifacts and noise, but when you use 3mpx the sensor is even much more and then you see amazing quality colors and nice pictures but just when you zoom a bit into the picture you will see the distortion because of less pixel density. That 20mpx or 8mpx is just to much for the sensor of Z1.

Yes the quality of picture will be lost with 3mp when ZOOM IN but who does zooming these days, most pictures end up on the Internet in regular size not cropped. The z1 has awesome zoom but the zoom still ruins the picture.

I can even tell 8MP photos are way better than 3MPs. White balance, exposure, focus is better. I use 20MP with manual shots sometimes and it gives great results with right settings.
Step one: sell the crap while u can
Step two: get an lg g2

It's a shame really gs5, one 2, z2 are coming out in just 1/2 months and when that happen z1 will be completely forgotten which IMO is sad since we never got to see the true power of its camera thanks to sony for ****ty software.

Maybe as a quick point and shoot, yeah, the LG G2 might be a little better, but in all around performance, I much prefer my Z1 over my dad's G2.
What small sensor people are referring !! Its 1/2.3" !! Same as all entry to mid level digital cameras

thanks for this thread bro
I find Z2 night shots better than z3 aswell o,0. Nice comparison tho.
tnx...that was interesting...
vaghean tu baziashun hich tafavoti ro nmishod hes kard...damet garm
Tiny bit more detail on the Z3 but I prefer the contrast level on the Z2.
Nice comparison.
Mike
Are this shot are taken by using Superior Auto ? Wow , my Z2 can't take a good picture like this , you must be a great photographer
By the way , good comparison bro
hmm the Z3 pics are a bit brighter hence the ISO 12800 is working
but overall pics are practically the same XD
Hi bro
its very very nice.thanks a lot
بابا دمت گرم ، همین اول کاری ترکوندی، بزار بعدا منم به کمکت میام: دی
in the 4th photo twin, the street photos.. can u show us how much is the ISO in the two photos ???
you can do it by windows on laptop.. right click- properties - details
I shot the same sense and it was a street like this one.. my ISO didn't go higher than 3200 in superior auto
I think 12800 ISO thing is fake !!
one more thing.. can you post two comparing photos in totally 100% dark sense ?? please
thank you for this amazing comparing
Y'all forgot one thing:JPEG Compression, it ain't the same for both Devices. If you want better comparison, get the app from the PlayStore named OpenCamera, set the JPEG Quality to a 100%.
Taken With Xperia Z1, OpenCamera, no edits, no filters, no nothing. Original JPG image.
Don't mind the text at the bottom-right, necessary for legal reasons.
Dynamic range of Z2 is better than Z3's, Z3's pictures lost several details in light areas.
I compared between my Z2 and my friend's Z3.

I would like to be enlightened on this "Dynamic range" thing, because it seems as though, not every human in the world sees the same image on a single photograph. So maybe it's just your eyes?
Read this.
What do you mean by that? Z2 has better quality than Z3?

To be frank, the difference is almost negligible. I find the contrast on the Z2 is minutely better but same quality overall.

My English is not good so I can't tell more clearly. Just look pictures of OP that I attach, the area I focus misses detail while the picture was taken by Z2 is not.
This should help y'all take better photos.

in the 4th photo twin, the street photos.. can u show us how much is the ISO in the two photos ???
you can do it by windows on laptop.. right click- properties - details
I shot the same sense and it was a street like this one.. my ISO didn't go higher than 3200 in superior auto
I think 12800 ISO thing is fake !!
one more thing.. can you post two comparing photos in totally 100% dark sense ?? please
thank you for this amazing comparing

Maximum ISO value of Z2 is 6400. Maximum perfomance of Z2's camera's ISO is here at Superior Auto mode(8MP). And other pictures shows that how well it focus on a particular object and produces natural vivid colors in superior auto mode.
And sorry for the picture at number 4 don't know why it's inverted .
Hi all
I've been using this device for long. I noticed that camera can not focus on close objects. It can only focus on objects up to a certain distance and for smaller distance it focuses on far object and the main subject is blurred while background becomes focussed ,which results into very bad macro shots ( same problem in both 'Superior Auto Mode' and 'Manual Mode' ) .
After many experiments,I've concluded that it can not focus on object that are in 7cm or less away from the camera but, for objects +8cm away it can focus correctly .
I hope to see an update to fix that problem as soon as possible .
some samples :
Model: E6653
Build Number: 32.0.A.6.200
You can download original samples from here :

The pictures on the right side were taken from a smaller distance than pictures on left side .

Yep. Z5's minimum focusing distance is about 10cm. It's just a characteristic of the lens. Ultra wide-angle lenses are notoriously bad for macro photography. Z5 might well be the worst phone to take close-ups.
This has nothing to do with the software. This is a hardware based limitation. It is what it is. If you want your phone to take high quality close-ups, do not buy a Z5.
Use 16:9 aspect ratio. Camera software will downsample from 23MP.
Z5's minimum focus distance is 120 mm.I think z5 have a wide-angle lens,so......
Sorry for my bad English
Nothing real related to ultra wide 24mm angle. Sony is generally weak on focus close object, my older Z1c with 27mm lens isn't doing very well too whereas my S6 28mm lens done an excellent job.
Yes I think this is not because of the wide angle camera lens
because I have seen Xperia Z1 , Z2 , Z3 users talking about this problem here on xda and other forums .

Z1, Z2 and Z3 have wide angle camera sensiors.
Poor macro shot from Sony xperia z5
I am not a professional but I believe macro shots aren't taken by getting as closed to the subject as possible but by zooming in from a "regular" short distance

Yes that is how it is done but with such cameras you have mechanical optical zoom and the loss is minimal and the lenses and sensors are bigger and better to reducec noise factor. On mobiles you have to resort to digital zoom which is not lossless though Sony in 8MP SA or manual mode offers upto 3x/5x "lossless" zoom. It is really good and way better than taking the photo at 21MP/23MP and then cropping in on subject.

Good macro shot from my Z5c. Use "lossless" zoom in 8MP SA/manual mode. This photo was taken with 5x zoom holding the phone with one hand in the air. 1/64, ISO 64.
Here are 3 pictures taken from the same distance (10-15cm): 1X, 3X and 5X. Manual 8MP 16/9, 50 ISO. I think it's not bad in 3X.
Anyone know if the problem is fixed in the Xperia X?
Sony says "The best camera".
I say: the worst.
I changed my Z2 D6503 by this Z5 E6603 and was the worst thing that I've ever done. If we speak about camera and battery.

Your phone camera is broken. Replace it cause the word "worst" dont compute with Xperia Z1+ line.

Thanks! Just took a photo in Superior Auto in 8MP 16:9 mode with the zoom slider set to 5x. Natural lighting in the room of course affected it positively as it is always better than artificial light (more photons, more detail to capture).
the amount of misinformation in this forum is just unbelievable :/
