I figured most people probably wouldn't open the old thread as they would just assume it was just someone else making a comment that bumped it back up to the top... actually now i think about it i could have changed the title of the thread... ok my bad! Its been a VERY busy few weeks for me at work and my brain just isn't working as it should be.

If the mods want to delete this thread let me know and i'll update the other one. Thank god its a bank holiday weekend, i can finally get some rest!

Daytime the camera is amazing night time or any low light situation sucks lots of noise.
I did manage to take some really nice night shots by messing around with the camera settings but i accidentally deleted them before writing the blog post :(

I may update it in a few days with some new pictures but i rarely find myself needing to take any photos after dark, the ones that i deleted i actually went out one evening specifically just to take some night shots with the phone for this blog but i just haven't had the time since to take any more.

Yes they are from the Z. I've taken enough pictures myself with the phone to instantly recognise the quality.
My only gripe with the Zs camera is the fact that it doesn't hold as much detail as the Xperia S does. Don't get me wrong, the picture quality is better on the Z but the S seems to focus much better. Even before taking the shot, if I just hold both cameras up side by side and point at an image, I can clearly see that the S's camera is just better focused. It might take longer to do so but the focus is better. Details get blurred out a bit too easily on the Z.
At first like most, I blamed the image processing for cleaning up the noise at the expense of detail but now I'm convinced it's a focusing problem. At zero crop, it's all fine, but once you begin to crop, you see it all.
Having said that, the S only performs better in daylight and good light situations. Under low light and indoors, the amount of noise on the S's pictures make them much worse even if they hold more detail. If Sony can fix this focusing issue with an update, the Zs camera will quite simply, be the very best out now.
But until then, I can't really make that claim with the S4 packing a similar camera without the same problem.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the image processing algorithms or compression as many have claimed. Like I said even before you take the shot, you can see that the S's camera is better focused. Everything just looks sharper, I'm surprised people haven't clued on to this yet.
