AW: New photo samples?

I added 6 more photos taken with the Xperia Z yesterday to my Picasa album:

https://picasaweb.google.com/110267829736715997848/XperiaZC6603Samples

It includes a few night shots, all taken with HDR on.

You can download the original files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?j4ja63cab9ldn1p

Will try to take more photos tomorrow (day/night shots with HDR on/off).
Amazing, amazing, those photos have just fueled my desire to get this phone. I don't know about the obsession people tends to have toward pixel level quality !!!! What is the benefit of pixel level quality when the photos looks amazing on screen/ big TV or when on printings. The most important is the colour reproduction, white balance and the general details.
All the phones GN2, SG3, NL920,IP5 are good, where each device gains points here and loses points there, you jyst have to follow what you really need, not what the others think you need....

Thanks!

The pics look pretty good viewing them nornally, but suffer at 100% crop, likely due to the HDR being on. I look forward to anything else you can post :)

If nokia lumia 920's low light images are rated at 10 how much u rate xperia z's low light images?
lumina 920 vs xperia z in camera quality over all which one is better?
I've never used the Lumia 920 before, so I can't do a comparison. But looking at the night / low-light shots taken with the Lumia 920 over at Engadget, I have to say that the Xperia Z low-light photos fare the same than the Lumia 920. But like what Riyal mentioned earlier, lots of factors come into play. It wouldn't be a fair comparison unless I taken the same object under the same lighting conditions using both phones.

Anyways, my Picasa album has been updated with a few more photos (original files can be downloaded here), this time day shots of the same scene with Superior-auto mode, HDR-on and HDR-off.

Thanks again hush! Great pics. Interesting that in some like the mall shot, the HDR pic actually seems sharper and less noise to me. Movement seems to be its enemy though.

Wish I could spend more time comparing to other phones, but must sleep

Are there settings in the camera to alter the sharpness etc because the pics just look like there is no or little sharpening going on.
I changed one of hush66 photos just to demonstrate my point, I didn't go for optimal settings or for the best possible look just to show what I mean.

added zip

I see what you mean. But no, there are no settings to specially adjust picture sharpness.

After seeing many photos of hush66 I can say that this camera sucks for definition / sharpness

This camera from sony z has much more noise than my old galaxy s2

the differential of this phone is by design and is waterproof
and dust.

yeah it is very soft, but this should be easily fixed with a software update

Actually Sony likes their cameras to take soft pictures and they NEVER find any reason to fix it. The xpeira t was like this, many of their point and shoots are like this. You will probably need to flash a mod on xda to fix the camera like the all the old xperias had to.

It just infuriates me :mad:

It's kinda weird that they don't supply a option to change tonality ed, like vibrant and natural settings. I own a rx100 and I'm amazed by the out of camera jpgs ones you set it manually. A real pity that they don't provide this option in the z
