I used z5 superior mode (8mps) same as iPhone 6 leh

oo.. from the size you uploaded are just 1200 x 1600, nearly 2MP only.. haha.. nvm. but from the photos, feel both are great..

looking at this picture i wanna cry



taken in superior auto mode, tried a couple of manual mode all came out the same, also tried adjusting the brightness and color settings, but also no difference

waa.. looks very bad even ISO at 160.. i'm wonder are you using zooming feature?

Sony really really need to improve their camera software department !!!!!

yea, couldnt get closer physically, so was on zoom, still within the 3.0 clear zoom range

Still waiting for a successor for my Z Ultra.

oo.. no wonder.. feel it was so blurry due to so called Clear Zoom, it's still a digital cropping & upscale to the resolution.. but no more details there.. i do use clear zoom in previously but the quality is not as bad as yours.. but definitely hard to see the details already.. i show some of my samples here.

Wedding activity is 3X zoom while birthday dinner is nearly 3X dinner too.. both are actually need to hold it well and good spot.

without pinch it will feel it looks okay, after pinch it in will feel no more details at all.. dont use it always but only use it for special case.

EXIF details:
Birhtday dinner - ISO 250, Exposure time 1/32s
Wedding - ISO 64,, Exposure time 1/32s

sorry for the portrait mode, i found if i use 16:9 portrait mode, photos will tend to be rotate view, but view from the phone is okay..

we can only only play the iso if set to 8mp right ?

the major problem isn't really on the blurriness (remember my shaky hand?), but more on the color reproduction
the lighting on stage made the whole picture looks overly red, and flatten the facial details of the ppl on stage
i saw other phones in front of me taking pictures too, and theirs turned out a hell lot better

Still no light at the end of tunnel.

This is really tight lipped. No leaks at all until the final moment. Looks like Sony is really keeping the Z6 to later this year.

Indeed, they really hold their mobile dept tightly. I'm afraid Z5 will be the last generation of Z.

omg.. xperia X Performance is looks better than Z5 series.. Z5 series pricing going to jump water soon..

Yes. Sony still didnt allow people control manually. Hopefully Android 6 may bring something special but least chance.

colour production from Xperia always +1 contrast but depend on situation and timing. i will always recommend not to use camera zoom feature.

few tips that need to take note for all photography:
1. The rules of third (enable grid line in camera setting)
2. Lighting direction

in summary, not easy to learn but just have to keep practice.. u must get right timing, right position, right situation get the right photo. If you are care about quality, then need to start from beginning. Or just want a powerful point & shoot camera, i guess iPhone is the best at this moment.

shit just bought z5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

xperia X performance - so far i can noticed the changes of chipset - S820, front camera with 13mp. The rest are almost the same.

my z5 premium suffering from the smart connect / audiojack headphone bug. it just wont detect any earphones. Bloody hell.

Need to use the soundabout App to force media playback thru earphones.

Tonight go home and saw nice moonlight. Stopped my car and spend some time on capturing photos.. These are 2 photos which I feel good. The one with moonlight I put iso 3200. Another photo I use iso 1600
