Hi everyone,
As i have rooted my Z2, i was able to install Xposed Framework. In Xposed Modes i found a mode which 'force' camera to use full 20 mp (or 15 mp in wide shot) in Superior Auto Mode. I have taken some pics to compare quality but couldn't understand anything. As i know, many of you guys are very interested in photography and know a lot about it, i decided to share some pics with you and let you decide which is better. Here's the link of 4 pics, 2 of them in 8 mp and 2 with 15 mp. (The names of the files indicate 'MP'): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vvpghc7w187b1ia/_uUAk9NFry
Can provide more shots if needed.

Great effort. Somehow I noticed the 15 mp has a wider angle. Generally they look very close and still very good quality for both, maybe different lighting conditions and in daylight too maybe easier to distinguish which is best.
There is a great discussion on quality 8MP and 20MP. Many say 8Mp is better than 20MP, which contain more vivid colors. This video explains a little about!
We could try posting pictures!

Hey can you also let us know what you lost from rooting? DRM etc?

Or that could stay in one of the other threads about rooting and bootloader and drm and this one could be about pictures. This thread has potential.

Somehow I knew you were going to say that.
The reason I felt brash enough to say something is because half of all my posts since I've been here have been on that exact topic in other threads that explain in detail what is lost and what isn't. I know for a fact there's info available to answer your question without changing the topic of this thread. I'd link them for you but I'm about to watch Game of Thrones.... And don't get so bent out shape, I'm sure you've scolded more than one person in your long tenure here.

Yep no worries. I'm just a fiery biker.
I heard the camera can break from unlocking.
I haven't lost anything that I'm aware of...

You motivated me to finally put up an avatar.
From my tests and I've done a lot of them since I got the phone last month.
8mp in manual mode with my own settings produced the best results in all lighting conditions. Focusing for me is the z2's greatest problem and one which gets worse the more you increase the resolution.
From the watch photo the OP posted, you can clearly see that the 8mp sample is better focused. At 8mp, everything is better, detail preservation, focus, contrast and dynamic range. Yes you can't zoom in as far as you can with the 15 and 20.7mp snaps but the quality is noticeably better.

Thanks, very interesting!
Quality is comparable, actually at certain shots SA at 8MP is maybe a more consistently detailed, 15MP is sometimes a little noisier and I don't see much quality edge.
Where this can be very useful however is shooting large resolution full 4:3 frame SA images, as on stock we're limited to 8MP @16:9. It makes sense to give the full 4:3 option, and I'd love to see some 8MP vs. 20MP SA comparisons, if you have the time. :good:

You take the absolute worst pictures. Nothing will make those look good. Check the settings in your camera. The phone is capable of much better than that.

Lol yeah, I wonder why turning the lights off in a room and using only the flash on the phone makes bad pictures [/sarcasm]
On a serious note, please learn to take photographs before saying the camera sucks

Thanks!
I like the z3 phone loath the experience of using its camera compared to my old Nexus 5.
There are couple protests and petitions about this. Maybe if enough people complain Sony might start to care.
I would love to be able use camera fv5 full features or lcamera

I already shared that link in other Camera topics like this one but more is always better =)
This for me says it all, same sensor, differente photos http://www.mobilegeeks.com/exmor-imx220-shoot-meizu-mx4-pro-vs-sony-xperia-z3/
There's a similar thread on this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/raw-support-lollipop-sonys-nailed-coffin-t3056309
You can discuss it there. :good:
Thread Closed.

Would like to start this again and get memzworld insight on the cameras. Hopefully silly mods won't close this one, as this topic needs it's own thread.
I think the message is if you want a great camera phone get either an s6, note4, g4 or iphone 6+ and neither will disappoint you (how's the z3 because somy actually makes the sensors)
Thanks for creating this thread.
I agree with you about the mods. They are too overzealous with the closing of threads. I don't want to go into one single thread for all things related to the camera when there are so many facets of it that can be discussed. Those huge threads with hundreds of pages are a PAIN to sift through - there can be 3 or 4 different discussions running at once. It's way too cumbersome.
If you want to discuss the S6 camera on its own, go to the camera thread, but S6 vs G4 camera I think deserves its own thread.

Silly mods won't close it. Sensible and sane mods on the other hand...
Camera is camera is camera. Should we have individual threads for S6 vs every other phone camera there is? I think not. All comparisons should go in the S6 camera thread.
Thread closed as its a duplicate.
The question says pretty much all. I was wondering whether is it possible to capture portrait mode from the front camera of OnePlus 5 without rooting the phone? I tried using google camera but the pictures are coming out to be patterns of pink.
no
Lol why create a whole new thread for this???
@phoenix061992 One, this question didn't need a new thread. Please always search before posting, this has been covered multiple times now in this thread. Read this post. Two, even if you wanted to create a new thread for this, the correct sub-forum for this is Q&A, and not this one.
