Xperia Z1 - Camera question - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I understand the Z1 has a 20.7mp camera but is there a custom rom that supports 13mp or 16mp or is it simply not possible? Cheers.

Request for Cybershot mod

Since the Z1 is released, can anyone create a new cybershot mod for the xperia Z using the latest picture processing libs fro Z1? I mean not the Z1 camera port as its not stable and no Superior auto in 13MP, no scene modes too. Its our stock camera app modded. Similar to cybershot mods.

[Q] Looking For ROM with good camera

I'm looking for some ROM with camera that's better than this stock.
Before I root my phone and install maybe eXistenZ Ultimate | 3.0.0 I need to know if camera (Auto) on this rom is better or some other ROM?
I'm on stock 4.4.4 (10.5.1.A.0.283) With my XPERIA Z (C6603). Pictures on stock camera are awful taken at slightly reduced light. I know pics can be a bit better on manual mode with custom settings but I want to capture my kids without manual settings every time. I'm considering this eXistenZ ROM + Torch boost http://forum.xda-developers.com/cros...ng-z1-t2886705
If nothing, is there some news if sony will fix this problem because I see somewhere that other phones like Samsung have (Sony cam hardware) but pics on samsung are immeasurably better than on xperia Z.
Any opinions or recommendation? Thanks!
Is this question Idiotic, stupid, incomprehensible or?????

There is no difference in camera between stock and any other stock based custom ROM.

Thanks. Is there some ROM (Not stock based) with better camera with superior auto or something like that?

The camera sucks in low light on any rom. You will need to use manual mode and adjust settings to take somewhat better photos than superior auto

Sony Xperia Camera

Hey Guys,
I've got a Xperia T with Lineageos, wich Camera performance is bad.
But the Built-in Stock Camera was of so nice quality!
Has anyone already ported the Stocks' apk for Lineage or other Custom ROMs?
Or another Camera app from Sony?
(I know there are a lot of Camera Apps in the Playstore...but I'd like to have the originall SONY performance agian!)
Thanks in Advance!
I flashed https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...s-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms-t3628791 this port and panorama and time lapse work on LOS 14

Main camera compared to XZ1. Is there still hope?

Hello fellas,
I was looking at the specs of the XZ3's main camera compared to the XZ1, and hardware-wise, they seem to be the same.
I see that XZ3 has some AI functions and processing as an advantage and I was wondering:
Couldn't Sony just upgrade the processing of the photos for the XZ1 series along with the Android Pie that will come?
*I know that this is not their main focus, it's just a matter of "respect" for the customers with good HW and sh*tty SW for the camera.
Take care!
Camera is same 19mp i think. Snapdragon. 835 no slouch
Camera processing has already been greatly improved for the XZ2, making it one the best photophone of 2018...
And as the XZ2, XZ3 has the powerful SoC S845...

Exactly bro and xz2 and xz3 have same camera, only xz3 have another camera ui because Android P
835 is not as good as 845, I get it.
How about the Mate 10 Pro taking better pictures? Or other phones with an even worse CPU compared to SD835?
I don't think that it's a CPU "limitation"....
Sorry, my bad. There were 2 words missing from my post that might've been a little misleading.
In my post, I want to know if the XZ3's main camera is the same as the XZ1's main camera. I forgot to mention that, so maybe that's why some of you referred to the CPU comparison.
Not only if the main camera is the same, but if you think that there is still hope for the XZ1's camera to take better pictures than it is doing right now, with a little help from the newly coming Android Pie(maybe they include some image processing there also).
Fingers crossed.
Cheers.

@serajr
1. Where do you have the data from?
2. They look pretty similar to me.(not 100%, I agree)
3. The XZ1 does not have a 13MP front facing camera, that's for sure, but out of the discussions's scope.

Yes it has. Sony XPERIA XZ1 has 13 MPX front facing camera. Your data is false. Check informations again. XZ1 Compact, XZ2 Compact and XZ2 have 5 MPX front facing camera.
From XZs main camera is the same only on XZ2 Compact and XZ2 camera software processing is much better.
i think autofocus may be improved from "what - about half a second" on the XZ2 to "0.03s" on the XZ3 which would seem like an improvement. i'm hoping this brings video autofocus closer to the speed of the galaxy S8 and oneplus6 which are basically instant in adequate light.

while the camera module might be the same (though there is some talk that the lenses have been improved) the big difference is in the new Spectra 280 ISP that's part of the SD 845. Sony apparently helped design it. There is a noticeable improvement in the XZ2 over the XZ1. I would expect the XZ3 to be pretty much the same.
I updated my Firmware on my XZ3 and now the camera shows Just a Black screen while taking pictures.
Anyone Else got this problem...? ?
