Hey folks!
I'm a hobby photographer, and I'm interested in how capable Sony's latest 20.7 megapixel image sensor actually is.
I've seen Flickr groups for specific devices only and for "Xperia photography" in general but I haven't found one yet that only features all devices with the same (or similar) image sensor.
So I created one :angel:
I'd love to see this group flooded with the best of the best photographs taken with phones featuring this 20.7 megapixel image sensor.
So if you have a couple of nice pictures already on Flickr, taken with either the Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact or Z2, please share them in this group - it would make my day!
https://www.flickr.com/groups/xperiaphotography
Help me help others, by adding photos to show just how capable Sony's 20.7mp camera really is! :cyclops:
Also, if you have any questions about photography with the latest Sony phones, you could ask me here in this thread or you could even start a discussion on my Flickr group!
I'm not a Pro Photographer (yet) but I can answer quite some questions for people who just start out with photography
[Fun fact: I actually got into photography through cameraphones - starting with the SE K800i followed by the SE Satio]
Hi,
Cool idea for a group in Flickr. I have album on my Flickr account with photos from my Z1 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72157641744588983/).
I have photos from Xperia S too, but I have tons more from Z1. This phone is beast! I love it!
I'm experimenting all the time with photography and video. I recorded one advertisement and a couple of sketches for TV. It's awesome.
I'll post more later...

Please post those ads for TV that are recorded with the Z1. I'd love to see those. Please reply with quote.

Here are some of the videos that are already on YouTube.

We didn't had camera available for recording so we used my Z1. I'm losing quality when exporting the final video from Adobe Premiere. The original clips are way better than these on YouTube. But, as far as I'm concerned, nobody here noticed any difference on TV or for the Ad...
I like to experiment with the phone. I'll have to learn the camera man to record properly (since I'm in all of the videos) with the focus, the other is great. Hope you'll like it.

Hi all,
after so many post regarding our xperia 8mp camera low quality- look it the new xperia p camera samples here:
http://www.ixbt.com/mobile/sony-xperia-p.shtml
another sample:
http://cdn.asia.cnet.com/story_media/62213636/DSC_0031.jpg
http://mobilenet.cz/galerie/sony-xperia-p-82599/clanek-9207
Sony finally fixed the compression, lake of small details, strong sharpening problem
the photos are more like iPhone 4s now -clean and full of detail with no more aggressive post processing
is there any way to import the new camera drivers to our 8mp xperia devices?
Well I guess we would run into some big obstacles.... as much as I know the qualcom drivers are responsible for the bad quality output of the pictures.
Since Xperia P is running on the Nova Thor SoC the device gets better picture quality.
Look into this thread for more information concerning the related libs that need to be changed for better camera quality:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309080
wow, amazing picture quality.
like pro camera
Excellent picture, wish we could get something like this with an update from Sony, or by modding from out great developers.
Damn, is this really a phone camera, looks so neat.
I think we should first know wheather the senser on ARC is the same to the senser on P
if it is we can import it on it by modify some place in the camera.apk
also we can choose the ISO
It sounds really great!
Damn, zoom in 100% on this picture, and it still looks sharp!

yes- and real natural sharpness (lens) and not crappy software sharpening like on our phones! and full of details!!
so qualcom is to blame! (crap post-processing!)
wow so much better than arc's camera, I'm 100% sure it's a different sensor
*JELLY*
It's the compression. With good lighting 2011 8MP camera's make good shots too.
Here are some pics I made with my Neo:
http://minus.com/mxCtiKuyk/1g
infairness to Xperia P, picture quality is mere like with the iphone 4s... hmmp...
The Iphone 4S picture quality is still one of the best for smartphones, and the sensor in it is similar (or the same) to the one we have in Xperia Arc.
Wow first of all this forum looks great if a little daunting.
If you'll permit a noob's questions who doesn't know anything about modding Android or any other OS for that matter, (I've searched the forum for similar questions but couldnt find anything):
I'm currently looking at buying a new phone and my top two conflicting priorities are camera and price. So I gather there's something wrong with the Arc's processing that the Xperia P doesn't suffer from?
I've currently got an Xperia Ray coming through the post but have discovered I could get a Xperia P for around about the same price. Are the differences in spec (and camera) worth me returning the Ray?
Or should I not be so Sony loyal and look for other brand mid/upper range phones? I can get the Galaxy SII for a little bit more, but if the camera difference is negligible I'd rather save the money.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Maybe some of the devs can say if these libraries are helpful, or there is nothing to do with them and image quality ; d.
Ok - my z2 is on its way. I wasn't expecting too much improvement over z1 which is already awesome- but looks like I was wrong
DXOMark just ranked z2 # 1 after reviewing its camera - tied with 808 pureview in image quality
http://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles/Sony...ed-model-takes-first-place-in-Mobile-rankings
Im dying... this is just getting better and better... Never have I been so confident that this fellow is the crown by FAR this round
Autofocus for video capture hurt the score which I do agree with from the sample videos floating on the web.
FIX IT SONY!!

Auto focus has ben fixed with the new update. Well at least significantly improved...
I'm not a professional photgrapher but you can see the photos I have taken on my flickr site. I have the link posted on the other thread. :fingers-crossed:
^ he talks about Video autofocus.
Good job Sony!
Is anyone interested in a video tutorial for photography?
I made one with my Z1, intended for any modern Sony smartphone
In another post I explained that I'm going to make a part 2 and part 3 about post-processing and composition since that's what people were interested in (with the Xperia Z1 at least). If there's anything else you'd like to see me do a video of (related to photography okay... :T ), I'd love to hear!
[for those interested, here's my Z1 photography]
Cheers :highfive:
(oh and I'm sorry for the mic quality after the intro - I'll fix it!)
Some really great shots there especially with a smartphone.. Thanks for keeping a video tutorial.. Comes in handy for that extra knowledge of understanding your smart phones camera capability.. Great work.. Cheers
of course we would love to see more of your photography tutorial with the z3, since i cant find a good tutorial on youtube .
been looking for this kind of tutorial since i bought my z3
great album
Please make more tutorials! Your album was great, I can believe those photos were taken using a smartphone.
I got a z3 but I haven't tried exploring its camera. But after seeing your album and watching your video I think I want to learn more.
:good::good::good:
great video explaining the camera features. I'm new to the Z3 so i can apply what i learned here. look forward to your next videos
Thanks for the tutorial!

For those who don't really use Instagram (like me), there's a popular Flickr group for Xperia Photography that I made a while back. Totally worth checking out too
https://www.flickr.com/groups/xperiaphotography/
Sorry for hijacking this thread, haha. Keep up the good work with Instagram!
Hi,
Just made a small video campring cameras of Samsung pride S9m Plus & Sony's best Xperia XZ Premium.
Watch video here: https://youtu.be/YaO5jlQTSHk
I am not a photographer, so all these pics are taken just like 95% of population does. All pics are taken with automatic settings.
Hope you like it. Thanks a lot
Comparing 2 phone cameras by uploading to youtube or imgur or any popular image hosting site = 0.
Please upload 100% the images. There are very few sites that allows that. One of them is https://easyzoom.com/
Here is a nice shoot taken with XZP

Just zoom to those 2 "collective"

I dont know dude yes the S9+ has better camera as I saw (clearly) but the XZP has pictures that show they are not taken properly I mean I dont think a 2017 flagship form sony them selves (The main camera provider for most of the phone companies out there) and it still takes as bad pictures as what I just saw, not sharp at all, not so bright, either that or the s9+ has a GOD level of camera on a smartphone just saying.

S9 tends to make pics bright & therefore it is "better" in low light, but if you see pics, you'll see that background in S9 photos are sometime has no details because S9 makes it so bright that all details disappear. Brighter image is not always a good image.
If you want I can make more
