As I'm getting New Xperia Z in place of Xperia Z ultra, I searched about Xperia Z and came across the bad camera quality.....
Its a software issue(i read it),Burst mode had better image quality than superior mode...and other things
so people who installed custom rom ,did they also face the same camera problems or are they getting better image quality from their Z
So i wanna ask you all to post your images from Z & do include your Camera app name and the Rom you r using...
if you know how to take better images from Z,please share it here...
No xperia don't have bad camera quality. I had a XZ with Stock LP installed and images were very good using Superior Auto.
Now I have a LG G2 image quality is much worse than that of XZ.

Why would you get a xperia z over a xperia z ultra?
And the camera quality is amazing with both stock and custom rom

One image from stock and one from custom
Dont get me wrong, but Jesus Christ you just choose really bad images to call it "amazing" 0_o
Not only both images are resized, so we cant see original detail, but also this amount of contrast and HUGE overexposure in second one is just hilarious bad.
Also first one have color filter so we dont see original colors that xz capture.
And look at the blurred corners of second image, behind that hilarious big overexposure at top...
I love my Xperia Z like probably most of you, but seriously stop bending the spacetime saying that it have good camera, because it dont have. It have really average one and in automatic mode its sometimes really bad.
I jumped to XZ from Xperia Arc S, and I was shocked that XZ take worst quality images than Arc S, especially with android LP.
I can even make blind compromising of XZ, Arc S, Neo V, Galaxy s4 and Galaxy Grant Prime(dont have more phones with me right now)... And I can ensure you that people would not choose XZ in terms of quality of picture.
post some more shots
Please post some more shots...from Xperia Z

Hey guys, although sony improve on the sharpness of the camera quality, i found a serious problem. Picture taken are really really over exposed.
Not mentioning superior auto, even normal modes. I compared it side to side with quite a number of phones, S3, S4 & even xperia ion.
What happened. Is it the new firmware or i need to do a clean wipe? Even my wife's xperia z has this problem
I have the same problem, pictures taken by the xperia Z have many visible grainy dots, and when I enlarge to 100% on my laptop the matters get worse, compare to my sister's htc one 4mp camera the xperia Z's performance is really disappointed, may be something wrong with the software
Very picture taken is too bright. Very bright
It s about software fortunately and I guess Sony will solve it by 4.2.2 update cause camera need to be changed 100% in it.
(redesign completely )
And I get better quick pic with small app camera
Sent via my Sony Xperia Z | C6602
Especially when ur taking pic of ppl, the scenes mode keep switching and pictures taken were overly bright or washed out. Had to use a 3rd party camera app , so many problems..
From wi-fi , washed out screen, mic muting problems, now overly exposed camera ...
I followed from Sony Ericsson w800 till now and every flagship from sony Ericsson to sony. Every models has problems. Yellow tint, bla bla... Very tired.
You mean the problem will be solved in 4.2?
Or thats how camera behaves when taking pic of ppl faces? The scenes will radomly flicker and background would be overly bright, even the faces are very bright and washed out. Does anyone experience this issue?
The xperia z have a very serious problem with it's camera I will upload a photos after 30 min

These two are the photos that i talked about them. the 21.jpg is for 434 and the 51.jpg is for the 253
Yes, thats the problem exactly i am facing, overly bright and exposed pic. So confirmed its because of the new .253 software .?
I suspect it's the changes in the built props or the mediaprofiles, as I see camera version is still the same as. 434, still ver 1.00
Any one can confirm or modify it?
yes the camera is a big problem the colors look bad
and the flash is way to weak compared to other phones

Do you mean when you use flash light? just close it, i found the pictures are in light blue. What's your rom, if you update to 253, it would be improved. but i cannot deny that the quality of camera is not good.
sony will release a new update 10.1.1.A.1.307 .... it's in the "xperia blog .com"
Yep, i saw it too.. Hopefully .307 really solves the problem. Its certified in the 29th, hopfully would be released within these few days
ZR is my dream phone well the Z is but due to so many hardware issuses and bad design I want to go with the ZR
But can the camera match my previous i9100 S2?
My S2 was incredible at taking photos especially at night. No noise at all.
The Samsung used SONY camera module till S3 Galaxy. The ZR takes incredible pictures once you do the settings right and for critical pictures use HDR Cam+ or other utilities like I do.
ZR gets better photo than GNexus. The camera sound effects can't mute by sound settings, I can't take photo of my sleeping kid with this. It's good camera among phones.

I keep reading on review websites that the Z and ZR camera is horrible its really really bad
But some people are saying thats cause those guys are morons and don't enable HDR
can anyone confirm how the Z and ZR camera matches other phone cameras?

wow thanks holy crap
the S2 i9100 is significantly better sharper and less noise than the Z and ZR
the Z does look better than the ZR
how the heck a old phone like the i9100 S2 can have such a better camera? how is that even possible?
it's sony's post-processing and crap compression that screws up a great camera... it's the software :/
so can this be fixed using HDR?
what about rooting and flashing custom rom etc?

i believe it'll be fixed by next software updates.. as most of the reviews about the Xperia ZR camera was made on the 4.1 ROM ,and we have some positive feedbacks about camera quality and focus-speed enhancement in the new 4.2.2 update
so we need someone who is using the 4.2.2 ROM to confirm it..

4.2.2 user here.I can tell that the camera is way better,and for the lowlight shoting please turn off the SAM - superior auto mod. and try playing with the settings abit like stopping HDR / chosing Fill flash / focus - multi auto focus.It really gives a very good low light pictures.So basicly the camera is great for me here

Thanks @effective for confirming :good:
and guys don't listen to just one review specially the one from Phonearena.. it's the worst review ever for the ZR and you may see the positive comments there for the users..
you can just only check the photos quality from Here ,but don't read the the whole page you'll hate the phone
the photo's aren't that perfect.. but they're still great for me (note that these photos were taken on the 4.1.2 FW)

I keep reading the Xperia Z camera is trash etc.
Are these sites sure they don't have the proper settings or something?
How can the XZ camera be trash?
I had a Galaxy S2 i9100 and the Camera in that was incredible. It was god like I expect the XZ to atleast match that or be better?
Is there something I am missing?
Maybe they need to enable HDR?
Most of the reviews were written when the XZ first came out, when it was running the 10.1.1.A.434 firmware (which was pretty awful).
The camera has improved with every firmware release, and with the latest .244 firmware while not perfect, I can confirm that it's pretty damn good.

Hi folks!
I bought SP couple of days ago and have upgraded to 4.3. I have been previously using Xperia Ray which has 8MP camera. After shooting different photos in different light conditions (low light, outside, inside), it seems that SP shoots mediocre photos. I have tried SP's superior auto mode as well as manual mode with different ISO settings, nothing seems to help the image quality.
Here is the link to public dropbox folder containing few SP pictures - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zar4xykqq4p3k1h/AADY4dfkscywQNFz7WJPHeb2a?dl=0
Camera quality is the only let down of SP, everything else is great. But, I am not willing to sacrifice on photos quality. I was wondering if ZR is any better in that department? Can it shoot better photos than SP?
From GSMArena image quality compare tool, it seems that SP camera is better - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zar4xykqq4p3k1h/AADY4dfkscywQNFz7WJPHeb2a?dl=0
What is your experience with ZR? Do you like it's camera?
yes absolutely. XZR camera is way better than XSP. I had XSP before. but now I switched to XZR as XSP wont go beyond 4.3 update.

Yup your argument is based on what Sony or other device testing webpage told us. Don't think me wrong it is completely natural to believe and valid to affirm. However, I had these two phones in the past, and based on my observation (not even formally tested LOL), XSP did PAR with XZR in terms of camera department. I got so frustrated that......I.......(dumped my phone, you say?:laugh......switched to a Z2.:good::good:

dont know but I found XSP camera very poor compared to XZR.
Z2 is way ahead as its top end phone
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.

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
