From the image posted, i can't see any improvement in the quality of the photo other than the brightness which could be down to the weather. The detail is just as rubbish with the new firmware. Photos with the SP look like they've been taken with one of those cheap tiny spycam's that people attach to their bikes.
My older Xperia S (upgraded firmware) photo quality is much better than the Xperia SP which is a shame because initially i hated the Xperia S photo quality (mainly focus problems though) which is why i was so desperate to upgrade to a new phone. I feel like a muppet thinking Sony would learn the mistakes from the past and yet here they go again, the company that makes the actual hardware and sells it to other phone makers but apparently it has no clue how to refine the software to get the best results while others with Sony's hardware manage to get better results.

Camera Comparison - AOSP and Samsung ROMs

Hi Guys,
Did a bit of a camera comparison showing the differences between UltimaROM and UltimaAOSP, highlighting the differences between Samsung and AOSP ROMs like CM/Omni etc. Thought it was worth sharing it here.
In a nutshell, AOSP can take acceptable camera phone shots, but struggles when compared against the stock app. Exposure issues when faced with high contrast scenes and focusing problems on bright lights in addition to a lack of vividness means for some, the AOSP experience will never be complete.
Check out my Instagram to see the quality of some of the shots taken on my S3 using UltimaROM (Samsung base).
Any questions regarding the differences, from someone who values the camera performance of his device, then let me know!
Regards.

I wish I could say aosp better,but cm rocks. Much more details and less light problems

I personally did an even bigger test. AOSP vs. Stock Samsung. With different camera apps and so on.
You can check it out here (Swedish forum, just check under "Testet:".)

Sammy-based ROMs always do better in the photography department. But I still find AOSP/AOKP to be fair enough for everyday pics. That is, if they can get working without FC and autofocus issues

LeEco makes necessary changes in Camera #SuperPhone loving it !!!

Hello guys, I am Rakesh and I’m a big fan of LeEco Smartphones. This is my personal review about the camera of my Le 1s. Initially, I was bit disappointed because of the camera output of my Le 1s, though it was equipped with a 13 MP shooter there were issues with low light performance of the camera and pictures having redness.

LeEco surprised me with the new OTA update. It has resolved all issues related to camera and it has changed totally after the update. I never thought camera clarity could be altered to this extent through software updates. A big thumbs-up for the tech team for taking note of the feedback from the SuperFans.
The new interface is very simple and gives control over the features like delayed photos, Shutter sound and Exposure etc. The 13 megapixel camera of the Le 1S now supports HDR mode.
One thing I loved about the camera is its ability to shoot 4K videos and it can capture slow motion videos. Yes, it does shoot panorama as well.
Even the front 5 MP camera does a good job in low light conditions. It is good enough for selfies and the new beauty mode is simply awesome.
Hope LeEco will bring in more surprises for their users. Eagerly waiting for new OTA updates, a diehard #Superfan….!!

Stock Camera App Crops Video? Google Camera is wider widescreen.

Has anyone else noticed the following:
Take a 1080p video with the stock Moto camera app.

}
Then take one with the Google Camera app.
(both taken with my phone sitting on my laptop on a mini tripod)
The Google Camera video is a wider wide-screen on mine, and I can't seem to find any setting that will make the Moto camera match it. Actually I've tried Open Camera too and it also crops like the Moto.
It looks like in the Google app, all it does is crop the 21 MP still image to 16:9 and records that at 1080p. But in the other apps, they crop out a bit from the middle too.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? I generally prefer the Google Camera, except it won't record to SD card and it won't record longer than 4 GB so I've been shopping for a new app (Open Camera works well, but isn't as wide screen!)
edit: This is a Droid Turbo 2. Mine is still LP and my wife's is MM, and it does this on both.

If you look harder, moto have a "programm stability" of videos. Maybe moto camera cut video for stabilization.

Good call, that was it. When I disabled video stabilization in Open Camera, I got the same field of view as Google Camera.

Xperia Z5 Camera - as Advertise

Hi Z5 Users! Just curious how we can get a good shot with moving objects?.... or anyone can show how to do it in a proper way?.... As I'm wondering how Sony did the following shots in their website? As I myself is always ending up with either focus center and blurry shots outside the focal point of the picture, or mostly with blur edges or noisy pic, do we have to always use a tripod to get a good moving shot? (especially for me with shaky hands lol).

I don't believe they shoot those pics with a phone, didn't believe it as soon as the pics came online.

Use sports mode. In Scenes
Or Manual with low ISO and lowered Exposition im good light.
In a more difficult light with a slightly higher ISO which pushes faster shutter speeds. And lowered Exposition.
