The camera quality is not good even in day light, forget about night and more over the camera has a problem, after some time it gets some hitch and you need to go to service center, so know all these points before hand and then plan to purchase it.

realy ?
all models have this problem ? ie i need to go to service center.
and i checked video from igyaan.in about video quality and camera samples, and see its good, not betterm but good for normal photoshoot.
.
plz, can u upload just one sample pic ?
ok, finaly got this
http://www.pinoytechblog.com/archives/cherry-mobile-magnum-hd-review
this have bunch of pics taken from magnum hd which is same as mi410.
so guys, now just confirm me that magnum hd and mi410 are same phone ?
means i get same camera quality as magnum hd ?
I m satisfied with pics posted in above review.
just confirm me, also issue posted paarkhi bro, is happening every mi410 ?
i m planning to nuy from saholic at 13k.
bro i can say this 5mp is not good..
bad noise reductions + bad contrast capturing..
also the pics taken atm night or day looked washed out with colours on the poor display.. as its not bright & crisp as my sgs2 superamold..
but the cam is ok with third party cam apps like camera 360 ultimate which i use for daily myself..
& results..
daylight-awesome with hdr light & enchancment modes.. you can try others too..( daylight & heavy light results are awesome )
night or places with bad light - there you can use night mode ( but if you are'nt still satisfied this is much a smartphone can do.. ) i iknow these results with modes in night or bad light are not good at best but ok.. you can compress these pics to smaller size ( reso. ) to get more sharpness & clearity it pc easily ( use microsoft picture manager or i forgot the name¿ )
& the thing about cam hardware failure after some days is only prob. with stock or stock build based roms. actually its a bug in our stock builds which make some bad log files to conflict hardware, this can easily be fixed by wiping user data & cache by cwm.. ( which is not difficult )
the cust. care people do the same trick & then install their buggy stock rom to fix.. it
no cam failiure prob. with miui or cm7, once you reverted accuratley
as you seen the samples from above posts that they are not bad either.. i will not force you but still you can't everything in 13k & that also in a smartphone..
one more prob. is dust under screen which you might face..
but this best at 13k again.. don't buy defy as it got poor gpu & support for games.. although defy cam. is good.
best cam. yet in all samartphones is xperia ray 8mp at 18k which can beat iphone 4s & sgs2 ... or you should go for that if you take cam. as a criteria only..
good luck
Realy thanx nitindeck.
what to u actualy mean by dust under screen ?
means dust from external air will go inside of phone ?
this means bad manufacturing, ryt ?
and how to avoid this ?
if dust go in, how clean it ?
can we remove body and clean out dust ?
I m ordering today.

hi
just to add on the same.If u want this phone for the Camera features then dont look at it the cam is not great.Frankly speaking i dont care about the cam as i have a good camera and i use it for all my req photography and my personal feeling is the cam is just a feature and this is made more for the phone function than the cam function
so once again if camera is ur main thing then look at other Brands like HTC samsung , Sony ETC... and these phone with the same features as this phone may be better would cost double the cost of this phone to my knowledge
I m getting Xperia Neo 8mp at 17k, should i go with that ?
and also please confirm that the sure dust problem will happen..
in this photo's resolution is low because of facebook.

Z Or Honami?

hey all ^_^
i was about 2 buy Xperia z when i heard that Sony will release smart phone which called honami with 20MP camera and xenon flash and 2700m battery and 5 inch display with snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.3GH
as i read it will be launched in japan in july and the universal version will be in august or september
Is that true?shall i wait 4 it?or thats just fake news?
Thanks in advance
Dude, 20MP is not possible for 2013! they made step from 8MP - 13MP after 2 or 3 years, no one will move forward to such a high resolution in so small time. Think twice...

Good luck in waiting then, if you think so . I dont belive there will be 20MP phone soon, since even not so many DSLR doesn't have that amount of pixels

...well thats a strange way to choose your phone but if thats what your after then look at Samsung or Nokia, my S3 is like a mini flash light...ridiculously bright.
u didnt get my point....Ofcourse i care about the camera but what i think is that 13mp or 20mp not that difference 2 me as iam not a photographer...but what will make a differenceis the good flash....dont forget the 2700-3000m battery and 2.3 snapdragon processor

If Nokia can bring out a 40+ mp phone why can't Sony bring out a 20mp phone? In the end the mp doesn't mean that much.

well sounds like the Note II is good for u then...battery huge and the camera same as S3, the processor is a marketing gimmick, duo core S4 pro processor can run pretty much everything and anything.
P.S I got the 7000mah battery for my S3 and it last me 2 day with heavy usage and no wifi but if you have your heart set on that phone then by all mean, i'm just giving you the option that is already available.
On the end you guys will say I was correct . Android phones, long time won't see 20MP. Nokia made it in 2012, in that time was really popular 8MP on Android, am I right? XS was exception with 12mp. None of the high phones was better in mp.
Dsteppa, I agree, mps doesn't mean nothing .
P.S.: The point is, Xperia Z forums are the only one, who talks more about other phones than XZ. I never saw something like that for example in DHD forums. But nvm, I will ignore this kind of topics in future

Depends on what you are using MP's for, creates damn good crops of photos due to the lack of zooming capability
The key here with the Honami is having a decent and most likely faster lens to benefit from more MP's
Sony need to proove themselves first by fixing the XZ photo quality, less noise suppression. Otherwise I am sure too many people will be put off.

...dude I dont know what the heck you talking about, no one says your right. matter of fact I proved you wrong there is a phone above 20 even 30 MP and matter or not is up to the user. That Nokia 808 has the best glass even for photographer standard. Its a Carl Zeiss lens with an aperture of f2.4 most DSLR kit lens come at F3.5-5.6

Nicely put, and right on the money.
And as I said you can use any part of that photo to make a fantastic crop due to lack of zoom, and still be much better image quality than any phone out there.

Really, that has got to be one of the most strange justifications I have heard. Just buy a Xenon flash light, Point and shoot, even better a point and shoot with a hotshoe, or a DSLR.
At the end of the day this is a Phone, and a bonus of the camera
You guys seem to be missing the point
In case of Honami it's not MP count but camera sensor size. It has a bigger sized camera sensor than Nokia N8 and close to Pureview808 size. That is 3 times bigger sensor than Xperia Z

He is not real clear on what he want, first he say he want a better phone with a list of specific like camera, processor and etc. then he change his mind and say he wanted better flash and battery, which i offer him the choice of Samsung Note II, it offer all those things except for processor, which is negligent for a phone. I'm afraid he either a little confuse or just another Sony employee trying to advertise upcoming phone which I suspect is most of the user in this thread.
More megapixels = more noise = more processing = lesser details. The z is better for me.

Simply put: go for Z. You can wait few months for Honami and don't even like it once it's out. Get XZ, and then when Honami gets out, you can sell XZ and get it instead if you'll think it's worth the change.
There will always be a next phone.

[Q] Front Camera Sample

Hello! I'm planning to get this phone this November but I'm worried about the front-facing camera. It's VGA, yes. Kinda sucks but can someone please upload samples? Like outdoor and indoor? I've been digging the internet for 2 days now and I can't see any front-facing camera samples. Thank you so much! I'd really appreciate it. :angel:
On the website of Gsmarena.com you can find camera samples there.
Link to help you futher: http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=1&idPhone1=5364&idPhone2=5363&idPhone3=5375
However the front camera is not present in their test which is stange..'
But from my experience I can tell that it is not the best one but decent for videocalling etc.

Camera usage at nighttime questions

I would like to know more about the camera and video camera usage at night time with flash enabled.
Is it good quality when viewed on the phone's screen?
If not, could you please state the affects produced by the camera of the phone during night. For example, grainy pictures, interlaces, glitches etc...
If that is so, would you suggest the iphone 4 instead of this sony xperia z?
Thanks very much.

Xperia Z is 10x better than iPhone 4
For me,i tried to take photos at dark place with flash
So far so good,quality is okay,but i suggest to enable HDR for better quality but only with 12MP.

Ok well thanks for the reply. Why is HDR only 12 MP. Isn't the back camera 13 MP. Does it matter if it is 1 MP less or not?

For all devices,if take pictures with HDR,it will reduce 1MP,and doesn't matter.
For Sony's Superior auto mode,only with 9MP

[Q] Xperia Z1 Camera Problem (help)

Hi everyone im new on this forum and wanted to say a problem with my Xperia. I dont know if i dont know how to take photos or firmware & software is bad or just Xperias camera is really bad. Especially at nights, at very high and very low lights my phone takes really bad photos. I was suspecting of if its replica or fake i checked its not. Even an iPhone 5 (a friend of mine) has over perfomanced Xperia Z1 and they joked around me, i was suprised.. I will attach some samples of my phone and the samples i found on the internet you compare and tell me what it can be,i see too much blur or noise on my photos. Am i a bad (must be really bad) photographer ? My firmware & software is bad ? My camera is broken in some way ?
Thank you for your help already.
Edit: The web site uploader compressed my example photos. So answer with possibilities and your knowledge please.
your lens is dirty
