Just saw the Z2 and it had the same camera as Z1. After seeing that Sony enabled 4K on Z2, which Z1 was already capable of doing but not activated cause SONY, was wondering whether the Z1 has the Slow-mo feature too but was hidden cause SONY.

Well the logical answer would be that SONY wants to make money because Snapdragon 800 is capable of taking 4K natively without lags and so on.. but SONY wants you to upgrade and spend money all the time... There is a big chance that SONY will add 4K in Kit Kat update so let's just hope. And about Slo-Mo, so logically 4K is 4 Times 1080p right? If phone takes 1K at 60FPS then it can take slow-mo at 240FPS... All complaints to SONY ...
It will all ported from Z2 to Z1 so I am not worry about anything. Z1 will get better and better with time.
I agree with you theres nothing to worry about cause the XZ 4.3 has all the camera features of XZ1 but the chances of it having 4K recording are pretty much almost 0%.
What I want to know is, does the XZ2 use the same G lens as XZ1 or does it have some treaked/updated version. If it has the same then Slo-mo coming to Z1 is almost 100% yes.

Judging by what you said that would mean that the Note 3 and every Snapdragon 800 phone along with 4k 30fps cameras have slo-mo capabilities which I highly doubt.
Also the Z2 does Slo-mo at 120fps.

The camera still the same and lens too. Software was improved that is why Z2 have better pictures. The 4K recording will be available on Z1 soon. Is not Hardware limitation buy Software only. It's a matter of time. This for sure will be made all for the end of this year.
Thanks bro that's the answer I was looking for. :thumbup:

There's a Q/A, Help section, post questions there.
I don't know if this is possible. I think hardware is limited at 30fps:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/development-devices/snapdragon-s4-pro-apq8064-mdpt
I can't find official hardware camera specs, sorry. But maybe with a lower resolution and a custom kernel it is possible, isn't it?
Someone who knows much about this can answer us. I'm interesting in it too
Thank you!!!
(Sorry for my bad english)
Any progress? it'd be a great feature.....
Any possibility to have slow motion?

Hope Soo..
Yeah.. I See all the thread inside the XDA, but it Seem Time Shift Video is unable to run greatly on Our Beloved XZ that can Take A Smooth Slow Mo video 120fps like XZ2 was, i do everything for what their said.. Root, Odex, Superuser Mod, But it useless.. Please someone, anything that might help.. the only thing that might help for now is install Xperia Z2 Movie Creator that can Make slow mo but not good as Time Shift Video was.. Have A Try Guys.. Search it on any thread.. I hope it would help..:good::good::good::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
i think u can
The Snapdragon S4 Pro is not capable of capturing 720p video at 120fps, therefore timeshift video is not possible.

Moto x have Snapdragon S4 Pro(dual-core) and it have slowmotion...
on xperia Z it could be even vga 120fps, dont care to much about res.
Beside its hilarious that old LG Viewty from 2007 have this and flagship from 2013 dont have it...
Yeahh.. What ashamed..

Moto X uses the same CPU as Xperia SP, but SP lacks slow motion recording too. I guess XZ's CPU is powerful enough to capture 120FPS at least in VGA resolution. But may be Sony do not want to put that because their latest flagships need more selling.
Who wants videos captured in 640*480 any more? It would cause more complaints that it was locked at such a low resolution than it's worth for Sony to provide the feature.

da what?
so what if it would be VGA? its still something, beside its not like you record Oscar movies using your phone... probably most of videos recorded using phone is party, fun with friends, or random events with crappy lighting. I can assure you that no matter what res you would use quality is still crappy, blurred(motion) and similar to VGA on 5" screen.
Most of my movies that I have on my phone is 720x400 and thx to good bitrate its look perfect on my xperia z.
Beside I can show you images taken using old SE k750i that would blow most of new cameras on phones. BECAUSE ALL DEPEND ON USER, I can shoot you good looking image using even pencil and some a$$ with DSLR for 3000$ would take selfi in McDonald.
VGA is still better than nothing.
Maybe to you it is better than nothing. The rest of us like our videos to look bigger than a postage stamp or not look like everything is made of Lego on other devices though.
Anyway, I was and am still mainly joking about the resolution, but my point was that I highly doubt they will bother to provide timeshift video if they have to lock it to such a low resolution, as it would just cause many complaints that you cannot use a higher resolution. You cannot expect them to backport every feature from new devices, especially if they have to cripple them to get them to even function.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
can anyone port timeshift video 120fps in 480p for xperia z?
Hello. I want to ask about its camera.
Burst-shot, that was on Z(also ZL and ZR) doesn't appear on SP. I know that the camera module of Z and SP are different. But its difference is not so big, and SP seems has enough power. So I wonder whether burst-shot feature can be enabled on SP.(e.g, porting camera app from Z)
Is it possible in the future?
I think burst-shot mode needs proper camera -hardware- to work
There should be apps out there that can do 'software' burst-shot by taking pictures of your video feed (so max resolution would be 1080p)

i think this can be possible coz capturing rate of SP is pretty good and i think it will be possible if someone ported this for SP or sony implement this feature in future update
you can try this app to check the accuracy of your camera ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wombatix.burstcam&hl=en
and this app able to capture 20 photos within 2-3 sec which is good i thnk
Thanks for replying. I hope that be going to better way....

Hi @ all
I would like to know if the camera of the Xperia Z really improved since the 10.1.1.A.1.253 update:
gsmarena. com/sony_xperia_z_gets_firmware_update_improves_camera_quality-news-6041.php
I'm really interested to buy a Xperia Z but nearly all reviews of the XZ criticised the camera quality, especially pictures taken in low light.

Camera quality is pretty good, now im ruinning 4.3 and before that 4.1 camera had some extra options like HDR and all, now most of the settings are composed into single ones, there is also one HDR in manual mode, overall performance is good, now it opens fast.
here i post some pics i took with it, i didnt do any corrections on photos.
Why don't you bump it up and buy a z1 it has a better.camera (I didn't try it my self) a few bucks wouldn't hurt

camera on z1 is not anywhere better (except for the mp count)
the hardware (camera) of z1 and is godly, but the software and image processing of sony is...meh.
i'm a fan of sony, but i think they should consider to look into galaxy s4's image processing, even though gs4 and xz has the same sensor, the image quality is different
Yeah definitely agree with u guys, the image quality in low light condition really suck. My xperia z always show purple dots or pixel in the black colored area. It feels like sensor problem, did u guys experienced it as well?? Or is it just me?
Thx

Please don't complain about the camera i had the chance to try Samsung Note 2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note 3 and i can say for a fact that they all do bad pictures for the megapixels they have. Cameras on phones are decent but still not as good as a dedicated digital camera.
Camera on 4.3 sucks! The noise level is crazy! Don't even need to zoom in and I can see the noise very clearly.
Can confirm the s4 comparison. I did a side by side test fiddling with different options and the s4 came out on top. Thought Sony would have the camera software on lock

agreed, it's better for sony to focus on their image processing technology, my dad has an s4 and his picture is around 5~10MB per photo, that's a size too large maybe, but the detail is really good, sony should decreasing their over-compressing of the photos.
Some one tried to put Camera libs and app from a 4.2 firmware on 4.3? New Camera for me is really bad

4k recording does not work on iHackers or any other Z1 rom. It is reported in the thread itself that it does not.

I did not ask what the stock Z1 can do, I asked what it can do, pushed to the limit, tweeked, overclokked, whatever.
Maybe currently not
But i believe the hardware have the ability
just not enabled in kernel.

You didnt state that and the answer is still the same. 1080p
Yeah the hardware could support 4k but the isnt any mods to do it as of yet.
As Greg has already said, the Z1 doesn't have 4K nor will it ever get it I don't think. As for 2K, it's probably more plausible to get that than 4K, but again I can't see it happening.
In all fairness you aren't missing out on that much, at the end of the day it's simply a phone and for the most part you're showing other people what videos you have on your phone / tablet / computer.
If you really want 4K video then a phone that supports it out of the box is where you want to be.
Not great news but hey ho.
Hello. It's time to replace the old xperia Z. Ofc i will get sony again, but the question is which model. Im thinking of z3 not the compact,cause z3+ and z5 are basically the same. Also i don't think there is big difference betwen 4 core processor and 8 core. What can i do with z5 i would be able to do it with z3. So suggest me which one os better?
Z5 has impressive camera stabilization, all the critics are raving about it.
Z5 also has dual heat pipes, so probably works well with thermal management.
Z3 and all below apparently have heat and battery issues, they are not worth the upgrade in my opinion. Personally I am saving for the Z5, the old Z is a good workhorse for another six months or less for me.

Well fingerprint sensor is plus for me too. Most people dont use security locks, but when you imagine what you got in your phone (saved passwords, SMS confirmation for internet banking etc.) fingerprint is pretty handy.
Well i have intouch with z3 compact and i can say that it's great phone. Faster than my Z. After all its 2,5ghz 4 cores instad of 1,5 in Z. Other than that the battery is relly good. I was using it 2 days with mobile internet always on,browsing and calling 1 hour per day. Z5 will be one bag of money fr nothing... The best thing is camera and fingerprint sensor. I don't see anyting better than z3+ or even z3.
Depends if you want root without unlocking bootloader and losing DRM keys. Not possible on Z3+/Z4 onwards due to new secure boot implementation by Sony. Phone won't boot on stock kernel if /system is modified in any way:thumbdown:

Well then you see a lot of things wrong. The Z5 is better in any category you can think of.
Z5 or Z5 Premium? And if you don't mind exlpain ot me with what z5 is better than previous sony models except the things i mention above: camera, processor,4k screen (that i think it's pointless in so small screen).
i would definitely go for the Z5, the camera outtakes look far better than Z3's family, the new sensor is beast

xperia z5 uses dual heatpipe where older models uses one(z3) or no (Z)heatpipe
Check this:

And this is just one of the major improvements.

Backup TA needs root.
Anyway, I think someone will find a way but it might need some more time then usual.
For example: The galaxy s5, was told to be unrootable because of the new secure knox system, but in no-time there was root without tripping knox :thumbup:
The Premium doesn't always run in 4k, according to an article I read. The Window Manager runs at 1080p by default and dynamically switches to 4k if 4k content is detected.
