It's okay, but cant do a close up / macro picture
On daylight it is better than S7 but on low light you can just use 8 mp to take good pictures and it is not as great as s7
the picture quality is good, but the post processing is horrible.
i dont know why my old samsung s6 with Exmor R camera (Made by sony) can create more sharper and detail pictures (you can see it while zooming the photo, not when capturing), while my z5 creates more unnatural sharp image (Oversharpen) and horrible when zooming it (zoom the photo, not zoom when capture).

Daylight images are good with fine and realistic details even on 100 % crop
Minor issue are edges cause not that clean and sharp.
Daylight picture quality is one of the best today,for me better than S7 even.

Actually the S6 and S7 oversharpen more than the Z5. At 20MP the Z5 doesn't have too much sharpening or noise reduction which makes the flaws in the lens more apparent. Some other smartphone cameras try to compensate for it by using an unsharp mask and then smearing it with noise reduction. The only time the Z5 is oversharpened is in 8MP mode and 1080p video mode, but not as much as other phones.
I think its horrible. Samsung phones have waaay nicer colors and the Z5 camera takes very dark pictures.
as xperia big fan
i think Z2 is the best xperia camera
used s, arc s, p,v,z, z1, z2, z3, z5 and xperia x
today i took 2 photos
1 with Z5 and 1 with oneplus 3 inside the home with lights on.
Z5 camera reflected to much light off the wall .
actors in TV were not seen at all by Z5

i agree
Can someone post some pictures including lowlight pics taken with xperia z5 with nougat 7.1.1? I want to know if the camera produces better picture in 7.1.1 compared to 5.1.1.
Thank you in advance
For me it seems the pictures look the same. Did not compare in detail and don't have examples at hand though.
I'm really happy that I gave it away, don't want it back.
I honestly expected a lot more. Sony makes cameras for other devices while putting their average on their own.
Just remove your lens to change everything.
Sony's lens camera for mobile is terrible.

Above average
is it that good?
I keep seeing reviews and comments talking about the great quality of this camera (above the average, at the level of high end...), however, my phone does not cope very well with some situations and I do not know why. Is it defective? is it low light? I am going to post some images but right now I am going to describe the behaviour.
For some reason the main camera struggles a lot when taking pictures of thing in movement. I does not expect a shutter speed of 1/1000 but I cannot make my son to be more steady either. The image seems focused except the moving part which is always blurry. This happens in low light but also in conditions which I consider good light (exteriors, rooms with 25W LED + side lamp...)
The front camera IMHO does not deserve any compliment, it struggles a lot to focus, more than half the pictures are blurry and/or out of focus, most of them have a lot of noise like in low light. It is a bit better after turning on the flash in screen but, again, is this normal?
I will thank any comment on this.
Picture 1_room_with_side_ window_light.jpg: Room with a side window where you do not need to turn the lights on for things like writing or sewing.
Pictures 2 and 3 has very good light in my opinion and the camera struggles.
4 and 5 are made with the front camera and both are below the standard IMHO.
1of3isgood shows how I needed 3 pictures to take one OK
sunlight shows how the camera struggel even with sunlight in the scene
whatIexpect are 2 very good photos this is what I expect
I have to say, the camera is at least VERY inconsistent on it results. It is capable of a lot but it only demonstrates some times
What do you think?
I honestly think that the camera on the Moto G could have been much better. I like the camera APP interface itself, but the photo quality is mediocre. Aside from picture quality, anyone notices their camera lens getting scratched up? Mine is.
You're right.

Not good as described in media
The photo quality is not as described. Image stabilization seems just not there are or not working properly.
Photo quality is good only if still photos are taken during day time with more light in. That is all.
But for the cost of around $200 its a good phone but not a camera phone.
How do I access camera debug options?
As far as I'm concerned the camera quality is really above average. Your problem seems to find his cause elsewhere.
To keep it simple, your photos may be blurry because of the lack of light indoor. Smartphone are known to have small objective (while real camera have big one) that can't gather a lot of light by themselve. It means that you'll have to sacrifice quality if the environnement is not well lit. In this case, you're phone try to make up for the lack of light by gathering more light before taking the photo which cause a more blurry photo. You can also manually set it to take it faster but you'll have to use a higher iso (which mean more noise).
If you want a good photo you need :
- light (even for a galaxy S7)
- A good objective (also the bigger the better but we're on a smartphone so...)
- A clean objective (I can't stress how this matter ! Even more if we consider that it's really use to put à finger on the objective of the moto g4)
Here you go, hope it helped, if you want to test your camera to see if it has some problem you should do it outdoor with the sun at zenith and some cloud to avoid bad shadows and blinding effects.

Thanks for your answer kayet95. The main point is that the camera is not reliable enough and you end up taking 5 pictures each time just to be sure one will be fine. Of course with the lighting you suggest the camera does well, it would be a complete rubbish if not, but take a look at my attachment sunlight. The window was fully open, there where sun coming into the scene and the camera struggled once.
I agree the camera is capable of taking great pictures, but it is nor reliable.
My experience is that the camera in G4Plus is above average for a phone. I think that who expects more is delusional, you need to buy a real camera to take good pictures - in low light or with any level of zoom.
One that I clicked this morning
just wanting to share a photo taken by my Moto G4 plus .
No special Arrangement , everything on Auto
I love this camera.... Sunny day and auto mode....

I agree 100%. :good:
This camera is very good for a phone camera, especially one of this price. To expect high quality pix from it in every lighting or motion situation is simply ludicrous.
Two more photos:
One tree
Royal Palace, Madrid, Spain
the color quality is good, but sometimes i cant take a picture, might be my hand is wet, or the phone lagging
The camera is capable of good pictures, however mine seem inconsistent. Sometimes take the same shot a couple times to get good one, even in good lighting. I upgraded from last year's moto g, and consistently got excellent pictures with it.
Overall I feel the camera on the g4 plus isn't quite as good as last year's moto g. I was really expecting better.
hi , i use OpenCamera and it`s much better.

Hi guyz! I just got my P10...all I say about camera- it's a beast. Daylight photos are excelent. For me the "vivid" colour mod makes it 10/10. I've been playing with the camera for all day and I came up with 2 questions:
1)Which resolution do you guys prefer- 12 or 20 mp ??(Since it has only 12 mp colour sensor- does upscaling work good 4 you?)
2)Why software doesnt allow to zoom-in while @20mp at all?
Here's an example for [standart] vs [vivid]- http://imgur.com/a/fg8e6

Yes, this problem is mine as well
There is an issue with Verical Panorama. Although Horizontal Panorama works perfect, in Vertical as you go up, it gets constantly out of focus. It's hasnt been fixed since B113 and we are now in B162...I have sent the problem to Huawei in all socia media. Try it for yourself
have the phone about a week and thepicture quality is perfect!
Camera does an excellent job on automatic. Love it
P10 has got a magical night mode capture algorithms. Check attached photos below (first 2 taken with moon light only).

Yes! I gave that a try and I was impressed. If you have a small tripod it works even better.
Overall, very happy with the quality, but please Huawei, give us an option to save RAWs to external storage...
Here some photos from my P10
Cheers!
Vertical panorama is bad.
Bad light bad joins obvious.
Rom version 181.
My samsung s6 camera vertical panorama was perfect
Panorma quality is very poor compared to my old Samsung S6.
The photos are not joined properly.

There's already a RAW option.
Has the photo quality change or improve with the Oreo update?
On my P10 camera app version went from 4.x to 8.x with Oreo Update.
Regarding quality, i didn't see much improvement however i would say that one big flaw (for me) of the P10: artificially over-brightening night photos has been somehow improved (still has this ****ty habit but less)
Test
Some new pictures I made. The bright ones were made in Auto-Mode, the Runway at Night is made in Manual mode with ISO50 and 30s exposure.
I uploaded them to imgur for quality.

I've been using this for 2 weeks, its 4/64 and i got the latest fota update just last week (Security patch level 1 Dec 2018 - OPM1.WW_Phone-15.2016.1812.179-20181227).
Firstly using this i was disappointed by the camera quality and complained to the store but they asked me to wait for the update. Then came the update last week i stated above. The quality is quite the same. One thing worst is when you turn brightness below 50%, when you take picture and about to review, the screen will automatically turn dark around the photo. So, i can not get the exact view of what i have taken previously. Thats the most disturbing behavior of the phone.

The brightness thing is not a bug. The camera is set to override the manual brightness settings to have a clear view of what you are shooting. When you exit the canera app it will revert back to the manual brightness settings.

Hello Team
Can anybody share few photos of example documents? [newspaper, school-book, book, etc]. Taken indoor [so it means under "mean" light conditions].
For me it is interested how this phone handle such photos.
One thing Ive noticed when I was taking photos of documents/book pages was that it blurs on the periphery. It's clear on the center, but becomes *very subtly* blurry on the outward edges as if you've moved your hand for a split second. I shoot in a well lit room with light (bulb and natural light, and I shoot from the above (natch) so Im not sure why the focus is not uniform and. has blurring on the edges. Also using gcam btw: Twichaya2.

I wonder how pronounced the effect is in real world usage, keeping in mind that for some photos of humans, the face is at the edge of the frame.
this is why I asked for real examples. I have seen the same "issue" with many other cameras.
