Xperia Z camera at current firmware is a fine camera.

Xperia Z Ultra camera is the worst phone camera I ever use in recent 3 years!

Like how bad?
If the quality is like iphone 4 5mp ,im still ok with that

Outdoor still ok, but obvious wax feel.

Indoor is too bad, even my friend said it looks like VGA camera. Also during the time I own it, first time in my life, my colleagues refuse me take photos with it during office celebrate colleague party! .... rclxub.gif

You can guess how bad the quality already.

That is exaggerated! Tell me what phone u use 3 years before? XZU camera is not as bad as u said

You can check my signature.

Nothing exaggerated here, I know you love your Z Ultra but no need protecting until like that. The Z Ultra camera is to bad! Even my GEAR watch is given better output which only 1.9MP.

QUOTE(un_id @ Oct 7 2013, 12:08 AM)
Yes it's exaggerated.. I know u were disappointed with XZU, please move on and stop bashing.. I still can remember how the picture quality of the phones I have in past 3 years, such as S1,htc HD2, desire Z,  Note 1, one x etc.. Some of them have inferior camera and some in par with XZU.. Your statement is like XZU is the WORST which is very misleading. It is not the best in camera performance, but also not the worst, just adequate.
*
That is the problem with your phone choice. I use a lot best camera phone. You use too many HTC and HTC phone camera never good even the latest HTC One.

You shall notice I love take photos, I take a lot with Z and post it, but did you seen I post a lot when I use Z Ultra? Nope right as I find it too bad to post up and sharing or do any comparison.

I means the worst in phone camera I use recently this 3 years not the worst among all.

Some scenario I face during use Z Ultra:
My colleague using S II and she decide I use her phone to snap than Z Ultra because she said she cannot accept the Z Ultra camera is worst than her old S II.

One of my friend using Note II also said how could Sony out such bad quality camera.

My another friend use iPhone 5 when seen my Z Ultra output nearly vomit said OMG is this phone VGA camera? And He encourage me selling it before too late, I do sell it that day.

Z Ultra camera issue:
They is too much filtering at day time snap, all photo like wax look, while too much noise generate at indoor shoot, night shot is completely unusable.

-----------------------------------------------------------
I didn't bashing anything, is you cannot accept when people said something true about your belove thing bad side. If I bashing, then I will said everything bad about Z Ultra, in fact not, as Z Ultra only bad in it camera and stability issue, the rest Z Ultra is still an awesome phablet.

it was touch and go between this and G2, in the end i got the G2

but i still wonder if i made the right choice, esp seeing the 6.2" screen every time i pass by a Sony shop

btw Andrewtst, is it entirely possible, ur XZU has a faulty camera?
*
I believe not, you may check back previous some user report also mention the Z Ultra camera is bad.

By the way congratulate pick up LG G2. I just play it yesterday at Singapore, it is awesome phone with great LCD & Camera. smile.gif

Looking at your past phones.. Tell me is it your Omnia 2 camera is better than XZU? Or your Google Nexus 1? Seriously, your statement "worst in past 3 years" is exaggerated! No need to compare with iPhone 5, imo iPhone always best in camera in its every release. You said I used a lot of htc, yes you are right, but for your info, I've own almost all flagship phone for htc, samsung, Bb and iPhone. So I'm not biased to htc. In fact this is my first Sony Android phone, I don't find it very very disappointing if I compared to my previous experience with other phones, thus I found some comments posted here are exaggerated and with intention of discrimination.
*
OMNIA II camera is better than Z Ultra. Nexus one camera is nothing impress but at least it don't have waxing issue.

As I said before even Samsung Galaxy GEAR smart watch which only 1.9MP output better.

For your information, Xperia Z camera is pretty crap in earlier firmware, it is as bad as current Z Ultra. Xperia Z camera only start getting good output after few firmware updates due to heavy complain by users at XDA but still no match with XiaoMi Mi-2s which use same Sony camera.

i wonder if the XZU camera can be improved with future updates to software?
or does using third party camera app improve picture quality?

Sure can if Sony make it happen. The scenario on Z Ultra is same as earlier firmware on Z where crazy waxing out the details on bright shot and over noise in dark shot.

But Sony do make it happen. I believe Z Ultra lens is good just Sony cannot handle it in proper.

When you zoom out all photos taken by Sony phone you will notice the way Sony render the output is different than others manufacture, the way Sony did is much waxing out than usual. That the reason XiaoMi Mi-2s can getting much much better output than Xperia Z which both use same lens sensor base on XiaoMi official site spec.

They're probably thinking you're asking about the Xperia Z1 which is LTE.

Sony naming is also crappy...Z, Z1, ZU etc etc.  doh.gif

If that sales person can get confuse, he/she shall immediate resign. This not suppose to happen.

Z Ultra and Z1 is big different. They is no ZU model, it is shortcut call by consumer, actual model is call Z Ultra.

Not true. S1 to S4 show the generation. Same as iPhone 3 to 5... showing generation Its so easy to know.

But Z, Z1, ZU, ZL etc is not showing any generation. Then u have xperia E, L, M, etc. That's so pening.

At least Note, Mega and S is making sense yo.

QUOTE(yupio @ Oct 11 2013, 02:31 PM)
Even though it's not supposed to happen, they should be  trained....but we can't deny it won't happen and its naming convention is pretty close. To add, they even have the same model name in 3G and LTE models (Z, Z Ultra) which further confuse. Even reviewers, sellers put their Z Ultra as LTE in the early models and subsequently only realise the mistake.

Now the Sony Centre retailers are not exactly Sony direct, they are mere dealers. Sony Centres in Penang for example are owned by Charlie Cellular. I would be skeptical if any form of training is accorded to them. I'd be happy to know if they do.

PS. Yea I know officially there's no ZU but Z Ultra, I'm just lazy to type, I'm sure everyone here would understand me when I put ZU  tongue.gif

Sony naming is ok, just all model with A, B, C that part look confusing.

HTC wise naming is ok until they do backward name latest as HTC One where got so many sub One previously.

Samsung & Apple naming is the better one in all.
