First off, the second pic...wow!!

These look amazing! If the new Nexus had this quality, I'd be one happy camper! The rest is gravy!

I just hope it is better than the one on Nexus 4 as that one is pretty bad.

I think you meant 5.

could go either way at this point... N4 2013!

nice pics though, hard to tell how they stack up without comparing to other cams though. Also while the sensor seems solid we know nothing about the N5 optic stack which is just as important if not more so.

Great pics, but there's a lot of noise on that blue sky.
Indoor shots have surprisingly low noise though.

aohus · Oct 11, 2013

if it looks as good as in those shots, it's a must buy. especially if it's priced at $299

There's some noise due to welcomed minimal post-processing, but it's uniform not color, which is good news. The IMX179 does pretty well up to ISO 400, from ISO640 and above of course noise becomes significant (still uniform). Then again; I'd put it around the iPhone 5 level which is more than satisfying. Hoping for the same F2.0 lens on the Nex5.

Low light MX3 shots:

OMG! i want this camera now!!!

ranadylt · Oct 11, 2013

Even those low-light shots looks promising

Is that due to the OIS thingy that the camera has? (Not even quite sure what it means / how it works)

OIS stands for optical image stabilization, but as far as I can tell, the Meizu MX3 doesn't have it, nor do I expect the Nexus 5 to be packed with it. That's a nice area to cut corners. The MX3 pulls these shots cause of the nice Sony BSI sensor, wide F2.0 lens and long exposure time. There's also a lot of noise looking at full size shots at and above ISO800, but results do deliver really nice color accuracy (relative to mobile phones).

Very good photos, nexus 5 would be great

jlmcr87 · Oct 11, 2013

I don´t understand why but my Xperia arc have already an exmor sensor with 1.4μm but when i put the photos at 100% they are much worse than that. Maybe software related?

I also have an arc s, and photo quality depens not only by megapixel but also by lens and software related.

Certainly the lens and the sensors of the mx3 are better, but also the software do his job (have you noticed that photos with a stock-based rom with ics are better than photos with jelly bean?)

According to the N5 log leak, repair manual leak and the recent leak on the Italian blog it does have OIS. So thats promising! Heres to hoping the OIS makes it to production.

That is just a draft, much of the information was copied over from the Nexus 4. Since "OIS camra" is keep being mentioned, my guess is that at the time of making that draft, the camera unit was not yet decided, otherwise it would state it's product number. I do wish we'd get an OIS snapper, but don't find it very realistic. They always cut the price at camera first. With that said, the IMX179 would be a step-up from the current sensor.

psychoace · Oct 11, 2013

I'm not to worried about the camera it's the camera app that worries me. Hopefully it's not a slouch this time and includes 60fps at 1080p
