i use a low light comparison from gsmarena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/vidcmp.php3?idType...0&idPhone3=4238

the thing is, the XZU looks pretty weak in capturing in low light videos according to the link above. but according to specs, the XZU suppose to perform better. could it be the build version? i want to ask sifu's about this.

this is what i manage to gleam from the net.

sNote N7000
Aperture Size: F2.6
Focal Length: N/A

Xperia Z Ultra
Aperture Size: F2.4
Focal Length: 28mm

Xperia Z1
Aperture Size: F2.0
Focal Length: 27mm

How to determine lowlight capabilities:-
Aperture
Pixel size
Pixel technology
Optic design

You only give aperture size. Hard to determine leh.

Now in the market... Either u are a Samsung ... Or you are an apple.
Even given the same budget...it's always Samsung...Samsung,,,
14 person around me. 10 Samsung 4 iPhone.

Even if xzu drop to 1499. People will still ask... Sony...good meh?
Check ur news paper ....u see more Samsung or Sony ads?
The non tech savvy individuals are brainwashed by Samsung's marketing and it works.
To be fair..not just using ads, Samsung really did put in effort in creating some competitive smartphones.

That's why I say, you cannot say Z Ultra camera is good because you don't have information on Z Ultra camera.

Furthermore, Sony already tell you that Z Ultra camera is bad. They don't even give you LED flash. Means camera in Z Ultra is not meant for anything serious.

Also, a lot of people say Z Ultra camera over processing.

But I think its combination of bad camera hardware and over processing.

I think those info can just tell the spec of the lens, while post processing is a very important part. Sony did too much post processing and pulled up the ISO. Usually u'll get brighter images (indoor and low-light). I notice in Superior Auto and Normal mode, ISO is being pulled up to 2500, which is way too noisy. And then they tried to remove the noise and the final results lack of detail and sharpness. I believe its the camera software which makes the results underwhelming. hmm.gif

I found that the camera can actually produce better images under ISO 800, while I set it manually in Normal mode. Hmm

true this. a lot manufacturer face this prob coz they try to reduce operation costs...while samsung n apple got huge piggy bank to be more established. i oso got experience a lot prob with Sony after sales service but i can't blame the brand entirely coz they do produce good product lines

true...i also set things manually. but to the casual snapper, i would suggest them to use other camera app than the stock. noticeably the Camera Zoom FX.

But the front camera seems to be doing a great job in low light. Try it.

I think the superiorauto is too smart or sensitive. Same scene same lights same shot can come out with different outcome. The superiorauto is constantly thinking what scene is this...what scene is this.

Agree. Apple and Samsung after sales service are far more convenient and fast! (Based on my experience la..)

Sony and HTC have good products let down by poor marketing, user outreach and outright horrible after sales service.

Samsung and Apple did their marketing right, and their aftersales service and warranty service is top notch.

If I'm going to spend my hard earned money, all else being equal, of course I will go for good after sales service. It gives me peace of mind and extra value for my money.

HTC and Sony gives me the impression that once they have my money they don't care about me anymore.
