Thanks. No Z2 you compared to?
No, but I assume the Z2 and G3 cameras to be more or less equal, qualitywise. But from what I have heard, the G3 is faster.
@GTCC
So, you like bland, washed out pictures? Maybe go see a doctor? See, I can be insulting to.
The nexus 5 made quite good pictures in perfect light conditions and actually quite good ones at night, and to note, I had various patches installed to make the camera better. Still, I would say the Nexus 5 pictures were at least on par with the Z1. The Z1 lacks Color Reproduction and is shockingly weak in night conditions, both which is important for me. Details are better on the Z1 due to the higher MP count, but thats about it.
And there is no reason for you to be a smart@ss.
BTW: Color reproduction on the Z1 was terrible. For that sensor Sony managed to have a color reproduction of a 2002 Canon Ixus...thats a joke for a 2014 camera.
If Details are important to you because you like to crop images to frame them better, then the Nexus 5 would be a disappointment.

And yes, Nexus 5 camera was better for my needs as it did a good job (apart from the focusing speed problem).
Again, I would say Z2 and G3 cameras are comparable.....although if the focusing on the Z2 is anything like on the Z1, the G3 will be faster, a lot. And anyone looking for speed will be happy with the G3.
For me: Speed (Focus) > Color Reproduction > Low Light > Details.
If your full into Details, meaning you crop images a lot, then the N5 would nothing you would like (and the G3 for that aswell).

This is complete bollocks:
The Sony Z1 has a 20.7MP, 1/2.3" Sensor, the G3 has a 13MP 1/3" Sensor. Sony Z1 and Z2 sensor are either identical or more or less the same. They both lack optical stabilisation which the G3 has. The MP count does not help with shaky hands, not to mention that for the sensor size the Sonys have, the image quality is not stellar.
