    Some pic shots vs the other top camera phones (s4, 925, HTC One, LG G2, I5).

    The source is xperiablog, so it may be a little biased. I never know about these picture shootouts (the z1 wins) but they always seem subjective to me. For example, I don't like the bright Samsung screens, but many folks do...
    Xperia Z1 in camera shootout against the HTC One, iPhone 5, LG G2, Lumia 925 and Galaxy S4 | Xperia Blog

    Recombu has done the hard work for us, comparing the Xperia Z1 against some of the best camera phones in the market including the Apple iPhone 5, HTC One, LG G2, Nokia Lumia 925 and Samsung Galaxy S4. Pictures were shot using the automatic mode at default resolution across different scenarios including natural light, low light, flash and macro. The Xperia Z1 fared very well hitting the top three in each test, bar the macro one. Recombu crowned the Xperia Z1 the overall winner, check out the comparison shots below to see if you agree.

    The Sony wasn't using its maximum settings either...

    Nokia 1112 tramples on Xperia z1.




    nokia
    weight (grams ) : 80
    xperia 170 < fat bastard

    Nickability :
    Nokia - You can leave it on a bar table , go for a piss , come back fall asleep etc and it's still there .
    Xperia - everyone in town will want to add their phone number to it , then forget to hand it back .You'll spend the whole evening patting your pocket to make sure it's still there.


    Price .
    nokia : an hours wages
    Xperia : a weeks wages

    Verdict - The Nokia wins hands down ,for a total KO add a decent 7'' tablet to your trouser pocket and your're still quids in and better specked .

    But it's still Sony.

    Sony are evil. I haven't bought a Sony product since the cunts pulled this trick:

    The Sony BMG CD copy protection rootkit scandal of 2005–2007 concerns copy protection measures implemented by Sony BMG on about 22 million CDs. When inserted into a computer, the CDs installed one of two pieces of software which provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Both programs could not be easily uninstalled, and they unintentionally created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. One of the programs installed even if the user refused its EULA, and it "phoned home" with reports on the user's private listening habits; the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all, contained code from several pieces of open-source software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software's existence, leading to both programs being characterized as rootkits.

    Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released, for one of the programs, an "uninstaller" that only un-hid the program, installed additional software which could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user, and introduced further security vulnerabilities.

    Following public scorn, government investigations and class-action lawsuits in 2005 and 2006, Sony BMG partially addressed the scandal with consumer settlements, a recall of about 10% of the affected CDs, and the suspension of CD copy protection efforts in early 2007.


    Wankers.

    There've been times when I've said that I'll never buy Sony again... I've brought the bloody tape, cd, mini-disk, mp3 and other formats of multiple albums many times - feel like I'm paying them for the same content time after time.

    My general feeling is that Sony s/w is useless while their hardware is very decent. Running vanilla style Android is good because their s/w muppets would fuk up anything they had to create themselves...

    ^ not sure; it probably doesn't make calls either, but to control your tv and appliances (NFC), go swimming and to watch a video, it's very good.

    ^ real answer: yes.

    ^ it is massively popular, you are correct. Whereas, say..., the S4 has been a bit of a flop saleswise (as Samsung has admitted), and the HTC One has had delivery problems, hence you don't see many around... The Xperia Z is selling really well. And, the super sexy Z1 has massive preorders.

    So Boo, your going to stuff this phone w/attached lens into your pants pocket?

    Carry the lens separately in a special Sony designed bag hanging from your neck?

    Avoid loss or damage by always being careful?

    What do you want? a camera or a phone or a camera/phone/computer...yup great stuff for the bored and unwashed.

    Hmmm...

    That Samsung cameraphone is fugly and shite.

    I don't want an additional lens, the standard camera is the best available on a phone (yes, it's better than the N1020).



    Anybody wanna buy an Xperia Z1? Say 12,000 baht; I might even throw in an S2 for free...

    The xperia Z1 fires a lazerbeam! It doesn't get much better than that (other than firing a lazerbeam underwater which it can no doubt do too).

    If you're into photography then here's a very nice review:

    Pro Photography: Lumia 1020 vs Xperia Z1
    Pro Photography: Lumia 1020 vs Xperia Z1 - tbreak

    I'm crap at picturetaking, so I obviously leave everything on auto and let the phone/camera do its job. Obviously the sexy xperia Hitomi wins out there...

    Here's a picture I took earlier today:



    & one from when I arrived home (dinner/chilled wine was on the table...).

    This smartphone camera war is all a bit of a pointless fad. The fundamental problem is that the ergonomically optimal dimensions for phones and cameras are different. Phones should be thin and sleek with a 5 inch diagonal screen. Cameras should be smaller and need some thickness to offer a comfortable shooting grip and to accommodate some body depth for a decent lens assembly and movable aperture.

    A Canon S110 is a tiny camera with large good quality sensor and lens and it can easily fit in a shirt pocket and is only $300. The photo quality is in a different league to anything offered by a smartphone. It is also much smaller and more discreet than a smartphone which gives you better shooting opportunities.

    ^ nonsense.

    ^^ makes good sense.

    I'm not a photograper, I just want a nice phone which takes good quick and easy photos, has good storage and a nice screen to check the photos and video.

    Smartphone Smackdown: LG G2 vs Sony Xperia Z1 - AndroidPIT

    ^ Why would anyone do that?

    Camera

    The 20 MP camera from Sony outdoes the LG's 13 MP in pixel count, though as we know, this doesn't count for everything. In fact, the photos taken with the LG G2 were able to impress me a lot more in our comparative camera test. Even though the G2 software significantly processes its pictures and therefore loses a lot of detail, the LG smartphone still takes better pictures for everyday usage and offers similar camera software to that of Samsung smartphones. While the latter offers an optical picture stabilizer, Sony takes a stab with its Augmented Reality function. Nevertheless, due to the better picture quality, LG is the clear victor in this round.


    5:3 for the LG G2: is this really a clear winner?

    Sometimes to see the true advantages and disadvantages, it works well to get back to basics with your good ol' pro and con lists and that holds true even in the case of our smartphone smackdown. The G2 is in my opinion a clear winner. This was in fact not as evident to me before performing this test, since I am usually more of a Sony fan and often consider LG devices with a certain amount of skepticism. But in this case, it was clear to me how wrong this tendency is: LG did almost everything right with the G2, while the Xperia Z1 could still have been better in one area or another, especially considering its clunky design and wide bezel. The G2 is the winner!


    Oh I see.
