Z vs iphone 5

It was a sligtly over cast day here in london. I'll try to post some low light and night time shots. Possibly next weekend.

I'll also do the same with S4 when my girl gets it.

Sorry for individual post, I couldn't aggregate them. It wouldn't allow that.

no 11

iphone won in no 11 .. but z leads overall
I shot that picture with the exposure at 0.7. Was testing it, I should have shot that at default exposure too. I shot 10 and 12 too with higher exposure value so they look too whitish. My bad, Apologies.

Low light to follow and maybe night time next weekend if I get a few hours to waste on my own.

Settings for most pictures
Normal camera
Exposure - default
White balance - daylight
Focus - multi autofocus
ISO - Auto

Cleaned both lenses before taking pictures,
I took 10, 11, and 12 with exposure value between +0.3 and +0.7. Didn't really turn out well as expose was fine at default. Just testing things out.
Also don't point and shoot with the Zs camera, point, wait, see it focus, then shoot.
The iPhone's focusing is such that it can point and shoot happily but the Z prepares the image for processing before you take the picture. Give a couple of seconds before pressing the shutter button. It's a question of timing I suppose.
