Z3 camera worse than Moto G 2014?

Today I tested canera performance on my Z3 and my brother's Moto G (2014). The result scared me a little. I hope it's just me who thought the moto G ones were more vivid... what do u guys think?

Z3 captures the colors as they are in real life. Some would say that's good, but I'd rather get more vivid images instead ?

That's why you edit pictures afterwise.

So a high-end $600 phone needs pictures edited to make it equal to a low budget phone?

Well what did the actual scene look like????

It looked more like the z3's pics. The Moto saturation is a little high.

Yes, sadly.

Try the Camera FV-5 apk. Not that any particular app makes the pictures look better but it gives you a DSLR complete control feel to it. Also the Aviary apk (free) has some nice simple touch ups for pictures.

Whats wrong with the pics?
The Moto pictures look as said saturated blurred and low in quality.
The camera of the Z3 is the best one I ever had. Even in low light enviroment it makes awesome pics.
Compare some pics in the evening when u are watching tv with lights out and be happy to have a phone with such an awesome cam.
The Cam and the Display are the 2 things that keeps me away from installing CM.
If u want more colors play a bit around with the special effects f.e. hdr.

So, I wasn't there but this is what I interpret the pictures as.
The Moto G pics aren't really over-saturated, they just lack dynamic range (difference between dark vs light areas). They essentially tuned the sensor so that if this sort of thing happens, it chooses the brighter side of the scene. The leaves and darker areas can't be recorded as dark as they actually were, so it chooses to make the overall picture just brighter. Sony does a much better job of capturing the light areas such as the concrete and also the darker shades and leaves. The other difference is white balance, the Sony chose something a little cooler, and the Moto warmer. Without being there, tough to say which is more accurate but from the pics I'd say the Sony got it right.
Easy fix, force the Sony to overexpose or use something like pixlr to boost exposure.
Second picture is much of the same, the thing that jumps out is the red colors. In the moto it looks orange, in the Z it looks much more red. Again, if I had to guess the Z got it right.
Now, this is all great with plants, rocks, and garden hoses, but what happens when you take a picture of people? Those Moto pics are going to look off, like people's faces look like cake and lack the proper color it needs.

Thats kind of the while point of "point and shoot". I should be fiddling with settings when im trying to capture that moment. Superior auto setting is an absolute garbage

Xposed module changes superior auto to 20.7 mp makes a big difference

Seriously what is wrong with you guys.
Have you ever used an high quality cam?
In every shop there are phones where you can test them.
There are more tests in the net as you could ever read in your lifetime.
So if you don't like it don't buy it.
Should sound familiar as an iPhone user xD
Have just done a few shots but I'm sure you can save your favorite settings.
If this is too mich work to do I would suggest to sell your Z3 and buy an Moto or similar and stop annoying us.

I personally think the z3 camera is one of the best out there not hard to use manual mode

Sorry. I should've quoted the person who said that that he prefeerd the more vibrant colors over the more accurate. I meant that if you want it more vibrant you should edit it so and let the original photo be correct.

I use 8MP on manual it does well, it's just "Superior Auto" that sucks.

Officially disappointed with G4's low light performance

Low light performance between Xperia Z3 and G4. Both were in Auto mode, flash Off. I was really surprised by how poor G4 did. I don't know if I did anything wrong, but for me the G4 was a little worse than Z3 in when it comes to low light shots...
*Update: Actually G4's are not that bad when viewed by computer I don't know... you guys decide.
G4

The Z3 photos seem to have more noise to me.

First set:
G4 has brighter colors, I can see more detail in the foilage and lawn, and the supports in your neighbor's windows. I can make out more detail in the red city lights in the distance, and the stop sign is a lot more legible. Overall there's more detail and the lighting is closer to ambient.
The other sets show similar comparisons. The Z3 does have a lot more noise and slightly darker colors. Maybe you were unhappy with the way they show up on the G4's screen?

G4 by a country mile. Not sure what you're expecting or if you're trained to see the differences; the G4 is superior in every comparison you posted.

Check what ISO the z3 bumped to
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You're comparing auto and auto between two phones – they'll use different algorithms. And because auto assesses the entire image, even the same device pointed at the same scene will take 2 different auto photos because the amount of light and dark in the shot changes as you recompose. It appears from your comparison photos that the G4's auto algorithm prefers a shorter exposure time (ie: darker photos), which reduces the risk of camera shake.
For a better ("better", not "perfect") comparison, set both cameras to manual mode, and select the same shutter speed, ISO, WB, etc. The only factor you can't set is aperture, so the one with the bigger aperture (that is, smaller f number) will be brighter.

G4 photos seems better to me and Z3 with yellowish noisy look! how can you say Z3 pictures are better than G4's?

G4 looks better
Sent from my SM-N910G

G4 looks better, but in low light it's better to use manual mode, it beats every phones.

G4 looks much better in those photos.

For true low light situations...this is why you have manual mode...

Those G4 shots look amazing to me. Not sure what you are looking at. The Z3s all have this ugly yellowish tint to them.

lolwut is this serious? The G4 photos are much more detailed.

I'll lend my two cents, but will mostly echo the thoughts and feelings of many posters.
@soyelmango is on the money here. NEVER compare 2 smartphone cameras on auto mode. I would think you should be using manual mode on both cameras and comparing the results acknowledging the different apetures (f/1.8 on G4 = lighter results than most other flagship cameras, higher the f stop = dark results when all other settings are equal). I too notice a yellow-tinge on the Z4 photos, especially in image 1...I too also can see the foilage of the shrubs/grass a lot more clearly in the G4 photo. Wouldn't you agree? I notice no other OP posts since, well, the OP. Where is he/she?
Everyone has their own own personal preferences when it comes to photography. But the G4 is the better result in almost every single one of those examples IMO too.
RoOSTA

The G4 wins in all photos. Also, you're standing in two completely different places when you took the "comparison" shots. Even on the same phone if you move to a different place, it will change its settings in auto mode! Camera 101.

Yeah, you did a few things wrong. Night shots require light, that means time. It means a steady hand and a longer exposure. Or better still, a tripod. See then we would get to see the best each could do instead of being limited to auto (!). Auto comparisons are useless.
The Z3 has night modes which you did not use, which will lower ISO and give a cleaner shot, all your Z3 shots are ISO 1600 & 3200 that is why they look soft even at the reduced 2MP as a result of the hosting site you chose. Instead they ought to be ISO 400 - 800 (max). Shutter times, three with 1/16, you need to get them with 1/4 or slower. Then the Z3 shots will be sharper. No competent Z owner will resort to superior auto for night shots. Either manual which means you reduce ISO or scene modes. No shutter control on the Z's unfortunately but one can always hope it gets there eventually.
The G4 shots are all auto 'night shot', same thing applies, longer exposures and you'd get cleaner shots. Think 1/4 or 1/2.
Do bear in mind that the xperias top out at 0.8s and i expect the Z3 to do a decent job up to there but the G4 can go up to 30 seconds. No longer a fair contest at that point. Noise on the G4 is acceptable to ISO 800. The Z's top out at 400. Less apparent at reduced resolutions but go to the pixel level and its quite apparent.
if you want to beat the G4 with the Z3, switch to video and go for a walk down a flight of stairs. The difference will be quite apparent. Best video stabilisation without OIS on the market.

Is this a troll thread? Because in every single instance the G4 pictures look obviously better overall.

Ummmm, In every one of your examples the G4 has taken the better picture.....

I have to agree. G4 pictures are so much better with better and sharper details.

G4 is way better. For example, if you zoom in on the license plate in the pictures you can read the letters on the G4 and not the Z3

New camera performance, quality and flash brightness

Hi there,
So according to Sony the new camera is suppose to be something out of this world. but due to the horrible performance. I had my iphone 4's photos side by side with my z3c and I couldn't tell the difference for most.Therefore, I am very skeptical about what the new camera actually offers.
Another major issue for me was the flash on the phone. Since my first phone with a flash I found it very useful to have as a flash light. the Z3c however was a major disappointment in that area as my old iphone 4 outperforms it by far.
So what I'd like to see is a few photos from the z5c (night time aswell with flash).
Also, I'd like to hear your opinions regarding the new camera/flash and how well they performs

Dude, did you even search on google? Lots of samples pictures there. And yes its much better because the z3c camera is pretty ****.

But if you llke at them samsung note 5 pictures it will crap on the new Z5 phone.... just look at the samples http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/

Look at these camera samples:
http://www.xataka.com/analisis/sony-xperia-z5-compact-analisis
in my opinion it looks so good. I think eprice had a pre-production model or something like this.

The images are so noisy, I wish someone did a one inch sensor, my 808 still takes way better pictures than all of these.

Someone on reddit (hehihohu) posted this album and this video.
I think it's not better than the S6 but it's definetively a top 5 camera in my opinion.

Yeah not bad at all, I will wait a bit more though and see if they release it in my country, and if not then I'll import it

If I compare a zoomed photo between the Z5 and the LG G4 or Samsung S6, I can see a poor quality coming from the Z5.
For instance, I'm talking about the 2nd sample from this link. Go to the chart called "Xperia Z5 vs Z3 vs 6 Plus vs S6 vs G4 indoor camera samples", then find the 2nd group of pictures. Double click on the candle with the label that says "REWINED" (in order to zoom the photo) and compare the quality between the Z5 and the G4/S6.

However, what If we use another camera, like "Google Camera"? I would love to see how the Z5 family work with that camera and know if the quality improves or dimish.

It looks very good, but there is blurring on the top left of every photo (top right in portrait) probably because of misaligned lens. Sony needs to fix their QC problems.
Everything else looks fantastic.

Thanks for that info!
The "Stock Camera" seems to be a bit better than the "Google camera".
However both cameras are nice for me.
There is one thing with the Google camera that i don't understand. The "Size".
If you compare the first sample, there is a big difference in the size (969KB vs 2,67MB).
P.S.: Did you try "HDR" (if available) in the Google Camera?

When looking at the settings in Google Camera, I can only use 8.3 MP for the back camera. Save location is off and there is no option for HDR.

Thanks, I just sent this information using the "Feedback" function within the app. I hope is just something that can be fixed with an app update (something like "add support for Z5 phones" ).

Are there manual camera settings available in the Sony camera app or via a 3rd party app? Especially manual shutter speed selection??

Yes, via 3rd party apps. All manual controls supported. No RAW support yet though.

so far I can't complain. definitely no artifitial noise reduction when zomming photos.

Excellent pics! Have you used Auto mode or some jedi tricks?

According to Xperia blog, the Z5 series was tested by DxOMark and found to be the best overall mobile camera they have tested to date (beating S6, Note series, iPhone 6 plus, etc):

Disgusting sharpening

The first thing I noticed when using the camera on this phone was how the images looked over processed. Most notably, I did a digital zoom photo yesterday and the sharpening on it was disgusting. It didn't even look like a photo.

See what I mean? All I did was zoom in and take a photo. It looks horrible.
Look at this picture for example
Even just zoomed in a bit you can see way too much sharpening going on
Now I know this phone is a "budget phone" but it supposedly has the same lens as the Galaxy S7 so that isn't really an excuse. It looks like it comes down to it being the processing that moto put in.
Can anybody out there please let me know if rooting my phone and shooting RAW will produce cleaner photos? I would have to guess so, since I can control the sharpening myself. I haven't been able to find any RAW samples from this phone.

is it a software thing? I've converted to snap camera on whatever device.

I'm afraid it's in the firmware. Any camera app I've tried yields the same results

U should probably return or replace u your phone I had the same issue without even zooming
The phone couldn't focus on things right next the camera mine also had pink tints while recording
So I got mine replaced​
Now everything works good

It's also the processor. The G5 plus has the 625 while the S7 had the 820 allowing for much better image processing.

Well it focuses just fine, and pictures in day light look alright but there is some heavy noticeable processing going on in the moto firmware.
This picture looks pretty good but if you zoom in just a bit you can really see the over sharpening.
Here is a photo of my Nexus 5x
It looks much cleaner to me. Less over processing and less sharpening artifacts. The processor on the G5 Plus should be pretty comparable to the 808 in the N5x so I really don't think its a processor issue. It seems to me like it was a design choice by Moto. All of the sample photos I have seen also have too much sharpening. I am strongly considering just rooting the device and shooting raw. At least then I can control the sharpening myself

Well then we would have to wait for an update then

It should make no difference, if you do the same processing in software - other than perhaps taking slightly longer to process the photo?
Otherwise, we'll have to shoot RAW if we want the best quality I guess?
It seems to me however, that any settings affecting the image processing quality should have parameters which could be changed?

The processor contains the ISP or the Image Signal Processor which controls HDR, white balance, auto focus, exposure, color filters and so on. The better the ISP the better the image. So while the 2 phones have the same sensor they will never have the same image results because they have different processors and the more powerful chips have better ISP on board resulting in better images even with the same sensor.

The strength of this camera's focusing is in the sensor chip - "dual pixel focus".
All the other things you mention such as white balance, HDR, color filters are applied after the RAW image is taken - so, there's really no reason that you couldn't generate the same quality of image.

if nothing else, I'm upgrading my everyday knock around (2015) moto e. I won't complain toooooo much.

I have to agree with the OP on this one - there is some horrendous post-processing going on with this phone.
I'd love to get that to stop - even if we have to go to RAW/DNG to get it.
Has anyone done the root/Freedcam method described in another thread on here and gotten DNGs from this camera?
I'd love to see how they look... I'll eventually do it when LOS gets stable enough.

wait couple of days more, there will be some nice mods incoming for g5p camera.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Nokia 8 Sirocco come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Xz2 compact vs Sirocco
N8 is used with Gcam. Both is on Auto mode. Without bettering.
And here with updatet Nokia Camera.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/QnkGuvW28xFAnJ6G8

I come to Sirocco from a long line of Xperia`s. I can say that the camera is extremely disappointing on Sirocco. Very bad camera, it is impossible to take a clear photo if you even just move a little. Also the processing is horrible or completely missing (i was expecting a lot more from a pure android).

I had any flagship Xperia in last years. Now have Xz2 compact. I compare cameras every day. Nokia with Google cam and last updated Nokia cam is better than Sony. In daylight better colors. In low light better detailing. In low light for landscapes must not use flash.

Are you sure? Maybe you testing on a tripod?
Before this i had a Z5c and it was a lot better, especially in low light. Nokia has to much noise (especially in low light) and lacks details (it is very evident if you zoom in a photo).
But the worst part, it has almost no stabilization, witch in a day to day use (without tripods, ideal lighting.....) by a average user with average knowledge in photography it outputs crappy photos, distorted, unfocused. This is why i call it bad (as most users that do). The sensor itself might be good, but no OIS and bad software combined with a bootloader impossible to be unlocked (so no custom software or proper ports of apps like camera with advanced processing algorithms for the exact hardware) will result in a very expensive (flagship) brick.
So, to resume all the above : Sony is better than Nokia in almost every way (the only exception is the design, the only reason i bought the Sirocco).

Here 2 posts upper I had posted comprasion between xz2c and Sirocco. Have pics in twilight and in total dark. For me Nokia(with Google cam app) is equal to Sony . I have and S8 too. S8 overexposed night shots and and I dont like that. Have you ever tryed Google camera app?

I`m using a Gcam port for MI6. It works a lot better than the stock, and it does some pretty good photos, but only with the HDR+ enhanced mode. The disadvantage is that this port cannot use the second camera (the telephoto one).
If the bootloader could be unlocked and with the complete source code, someone could make a good Gcam port for this phone.
P.s. : Nokia 8 has a very different camera comparing to Nokia 8 Sirocco edition. The N8 has a secondary monochrome camera and it has OIS. N8s does not have OIS and the secondary camera is for telephoto only.
So basically the N8 has a much better camera comparing to the N8s, and the photos should be a lot better, comparable to a Sony flagship.

Im using Pixel port Gcam version. And i think that with any ports second camera didnt works.

I`m using a Gcam port for MI6. It works a lot better than the stock, and it does some pretty good photos, but only with the HDR+ enhanced mode. The disadvantage is that this port cannot use the second camera (the telephoto one).
If the bootloader could be unlocked and with the complete source code, someone could make a good Gcam port for this phone.
P.s. : Nokia 8 has a very different camera comparing to Nokia 8 Sirocco edition. The N8 has a secondary monochrome camera and it has OIS. N8s does not have OIS and the secondary camera is for telephoto only.
So basically the N8 has a much better camera comparing to the N8s, and the photos should be a lot better, comparable to a Sony flagship.

Now that the bootloader is unlocked for Nokia 8. Let's hope that they unlock it for Nokia 8 Sirocco as well. And we might see a really good Gcam port that uses both the cameras on the back cause Nokia Camera app is really bad. I don't think they will get it right for a long time. Gcam is far far ahead of them. I don't know how things work around there but maybe they can collaborate with Google to work on more enhanced camera app. I'm just blaberring here.
