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....

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:

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:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/04/xperia-z5-using-dual-heat-pipes-to-control-thermal-performance/
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.

Hi,
i'm thinking about switching to something a bit bigger, from my Xperia Z1 Compact. Since the Xperia Z1 Compact camera quality isn't very good with custom roms, i'm wondering how the quality is with Marshmallow Roms on the M7...maybe someone has some example pics?
Greetings,
Hey man, as long as you use roms based on stock the camera will be the same.. Cyanogenmod for example is know for lousy camera but great performance. ..

I wouldn't choose the m7 if picture quality is important for you. This is a great device but unfortunately the camera isn't performing well.

Surely it's better, than my Z1C? Thanks for the replys anyway

Isn't the z1 compact equipped with a 20 mpx cam? The m7 is only 4 mpx with the first generation of the "ultrapixel" technology which is supposed to give better picture quality in low light conditions but isn't working really well imo...

It is, but the camera is pretty bad. Very, very noisey, not that much detail and so on...quality in low light conditions is horrible. Not sure, what Sony did with that Sensor, to make it that bad...
Why there are no GCAM mods for every Xperia flagship starting from XZ1?! A year ago there's a working GCAM for my Xperia X dual! Someone should request the developers to make mod for XZ1, XZ1C, XZ2, XZ2C, XZ3, XZ2P!
Yeah i know there's no connection to title and the description message!

Simple answer being Sony devices have a small user base compared to others, no point investing time

For the sake of Sony fans, developers should share their interest in Sony mobiles. Pleaaaaseeeeee ohhh goddd. Please someone make MOD for all of these devices. Please someone care about Sony users. ?????

All simply because gcam is ridiculous compared to stock. Much more noise, smoothing of the photo, overesposition, mediocre quality in night photo ... The tests were done with GCAM 5 which is in a discussion on the forum...
In my opinion the reduction of raw noise is incompatible with gcam. The photos taken with gcam have almost the same quality as with open camera.

There's already a port for gcam on xperia 1, however it's gcam 5, so no night sight yet.
It'll come eventually (or not). Just a matter of patience. If you want gcam so bad, then get another phone or get a pixel.

gcam is not necessarily better it may change for low-end smartphones but in high-end smartphones the results were worse with gcam than the Stock camera. gcam will work like any open camera and will never have the code and therefore the optimizations related to the camera. on the screen of the smartphones it looks good but on a larger screen we directly see the loss of quality with gcam

Maybe because these ports are done via the good will and graciousness of the developers, who often do this for free, on their own time? Don't be immature about this. It takes work, and just because your particular phone isn't supported doesn't mean that people aren't trying to get it to work.

I haven't asked it particularly for my mobile. The thing is i haven't asked at all for my mobile. I just said there are no GCAM mods at all for at least a single Sony flagship. I never demanded i am saying that just request the developers!
Can't force any developer to support an specific device. Like some people already mention, there isn't really an improvement using gcam over the stock camera (maybe there is certain circumstances that get better results, but nothing really special). Xperia 1 camera already is great. I haven't tested much the gcam version already available, will try today some night scenes

There are gcam version for that phones (just yesterday tested the XZ1 version) BUT gcam only supports AOSP custom roms, and nothing stock based. With the Xperia 1 onwards, there is API 2 support, and gcam works in stock.
XZ1 GCam take worse photos than stock

Wow. Ok thanks for the info. Everyone says mobiles need API 2 support and i agree but i feel every Sony flagship supports that API 2 thing. I am saying this because i used a GCAM mod for my old Xperia X dual stock OS that actually worked. But the MOD doesn't had the Night Sight feature as it's an old version. i luckily somewhere found that MOD. It's a long time ago and there after i tried many GCAM versions and none of them worked. They just not opened even for a second.

Older gcam versions work. Even on XZP stock, gcam 4(?) was working. For the Xperia 1/5 we have Gcam 5 working. Either wait, donate to the dev to help support them, or create your own port.
