A lot of post discussion on the well know problem let's keep that out of here. Let's post some shots from your new Xperia and let's see what you have captured with this great phone.

Some of my random shots all on auto mode with no filters or edits. Scaled for post, better resolutions --> http://tinypic.com/PuffinNugs

Took some pictures of flowers to test out the sharpness, color accuracy and detail of the camera.
The last picture with the purple flowers pretty amazing. the details in the second are pretty sharp too. Im personally loving this camera.

tried out one of the effect addons you can add to the camera app. this one has the background defocus, its actually really cool and easy to use, lowers down to 8mp though.

Can someone try low-light shots with manual settings please? :)

Here you go, some were handheld, some were taken with tripod. Generally it's not easy to take a decent night photo, especially when Sony decided to limit manual settings (you can't setup ISO and shutter speed simultaneously, you can either set ISO or shutter speed...)

Does the low light performance improve when setting the resolution to 8MP or lower?

Nope, low light performance is not affected by picture size. If you have a steady hand and set low shutter speed in manual camera (which is pretty easy, at least Sony did the easy part good ;) ) you will get good pictures.

    OMG is this islam on the 4th picture???
    If yes can you please delete it from here? This offends me...

    No, "Islam" is not a thing so it can't be on a picture.
    And it doesn't matter what offends you or not as long as it is not against XDA policy & rules.

    It would be nice if you could make a post on how to make the most of the manual mode. I've always wanted to get into it just to see what this camera can really do. :)

    For daylight I would recommend auto, as for night shots, it's quite easy.

    You need to asses how steady can you hold the phone, 1s shutter speed will give you best results, but it's practically only usable with tripod. With very steady hands and good support you can get 1/2-1/4s. But usually a safe value is 1/15 or 1/30 when handheld, however this will result in average quality.

    Since you can't control ISO and shutter speed, it's easy. Just setup desired shutter speed (remember, the lower the better quality, but it might be blurred when you don't have steady hands....) and try to manipulate exposure value EV for desired result, lowering the EV value is simply lowering the ISO, but don't go too low like -2 or the picture will be too dark. I often try -1 or -0,7, it gets the job done.

    Also if you know you will take pictures of object further than 2m, set focus to infinity, saves some time and potential out of focus pictures. Oh, and I use 3 sec self-timer. There's always a small shake when you press the button or touch the screen, with self-timer on this effect is not present.
