Neo (MT15) Camera vs Arc S - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi,
Both Xperia Neo(MT15) And Xperia Arc S (LT18) has the 8MP Exmor r Sensor.
I have tested the both cams, But Arc S Picture quality is Better. Im Not sure why is that. Neo @ICS 4.0.4 , Arc S @GB
Neo Pictures are bit misty looking. Arc S pics are very sharp.
Can anyone give there opinion on this.
Thank you.

Maybe the settings are different.
I'm pretty satisfied with the picture quality.

[Q] Camera quality of new Neo V compairing to Neo

Hello all! I am really wondering about the camera quality of the new Neo V comparing to the normal Neo. As far as I understood, the Neo V has 5 MP while the Neo has 8 MP. Well 5 or 8 I don't care or contrary if the qaulity of the 5 MP is very good, no need for 8 MP.
Unfortunately it seams that nobody thinks it is necessary to make a test. Often in the specs, which are obviously copied from the Neo, they are mentioning wrongly 8 MP.
If somebody could tell me his experience or drive me to a review It would be highly appreciated!
I would buy the normal Neo but it is for my girlfriend and she insist on a white phone. The Neo in white would be perfect but I guess this does not exist?!

I think it has the same 5mp sensor as the Xperia Mini (pro), so I maybe you should search for reviews of those phones.
But the quality of xperia mini pro is very poor xD
Cam pix quality is not good here...lots of noise in pix
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
neo v(5mp) camera cannot be compared to NEO(8mp) but i am pretty sure that it is better than MINI PRO
Xperia Neo camera is very good. The picture quality is very nice. About the sensor of the camera, it could be better of course.
Anyway, the problem of most cameras even the 2-3-5 Mpix ones is the compression of the saved picture. The Xperia Neo compression of *.jpeg is quite high, the pictures are less than 1MB in 8Mpix mode. If you use a better app for the camera (like 360camera) you will see the real quality of the camera, never mind the 8Mpix.
Thanks for the feed back. So I guess the photo quality is not really amazing.
Is there any chance to get the normal Neo in white??

buy a Neo and then buy a white housing like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ho...15i-Xperia-Neo-L-/310322539361#ht_1061wt_1037

I head this idea as well, you think that that the housing is compatible? Can somebody confirm this? Thank you!
Why not just get a Silver Neo? Close enough to white and imho the best look for the Neo.
With the normal neo, you only can zoom in with 6mp, so it it isn't that big of a difference
silver color is the best for neo & neo v , it looks highlighted around the dark black screen
Based on the mode you select the configuration of the pixel is decided on neo , it is changed to 5mp for some of the modes

Xperia mini picture quality

what do you think of the picture quality of the mini? any good? Ive seen a few pictures and seem a bit disappointing, comparing to the x10 mini

Buying Neo v

Hi,
I am coming from Xperia X10i, and I am planning to buy neo v, just want to know how is it "in call volume" quality, I know its specs are same are Neo and Arc except Camera and Screen, beside that, how is it in general use comparing it with X10i.
Thank you
Xahid
Finally I bought Neo V, and I really like it, the build quality is great, sound is really impressive as compared to X10i, time to play
Thanks everyone who reply
One more member in your Neo V community
If you get money at your disposal then buy the Arc or Arc S
~Amazing Phones
Or else buy the Neo as it has a 8Mp camera and a sensor that the Neo V lacks
Thanks for the reply, but doesn't help !
The in call volume is pretty decent on my Neo V
On comparing the Neo V to X10
The Neo V is a win win
512Mb ram as to 320Mb of X10
HD video recording
Although the screen size of X10 is larger
Now, Thanks for the Answer.
Cheers
I don't have anything to really compare it too since it's my first smartphone (by the new definition of smartphone) but the Neo's reception and call clarity are great.
I'd get an original Arc, it's only €50 more expensive than the Neo, and it's thinner and it has a bigger screen. Or wait till January, maybe they will present a successor,
I only had the X10i for a few weeks before it bricked, but IMO the only downside of the neo is that it has a smaller screen. However, it is much easier to grip than the X10i even with a large hand.
The Arc/Arc S is thinner, but you lose the front camera and the face has a tendency to develop cracks. Of course, the neo V has a smaller camera, but it shouldn't be too bad at taking pictures.
hello! my friend bought xperia arc yesterday and i just updated it now to the latest firmware (2.3.4) and yes it does have sweep panorama function now.
I'm not really impressed with the form of the xperia arc, yes it has a big screen, but i'm having trouble holding the phone it's too big for me and it's not the type of phone that you can comfortably put inside your pocket.
I am also planning to buy xperia neo but with neo v around, it is so confusing.
One thing is for sure neo v is cheaper. But i like the red color of neo! SDCard is not an issue to me.
My only question is:
Does 3 mega pixels really make a difference?
.... sorry to hi-jack the thread! peace!

Try and make a photo with tour friends phone, and look for someone with a 5MP camera phone and see for yourself.
SGS (5MP) vs. SGSII (8MP)
here they compare the Arc's (similar) camera to the HTC Desire Z
It's not just the MP difference. The neo has a Exmor R sensor, which allows for better low-light shots.
The Neo V is just Sony's way of making more people buy their flag ship model (The Arc/S) they screwed up when they released the Neo because it was soooo close to the Arc in Specs with the advantage of the front camera many people decided to buy the cheaper Neo instead for that extra feature alone.. the quick fix was to release a new Arc (the S with a slightly more powerful processor) and the Neo V with a 5MP non exmor-R sensor.. SE is trying to phaze out the Neo and pretend it never existed.. in a lot of countries only the Neo V is available now.
I bought the Neo because of the size, the 8mp Exmor-R Sensor, the front camera (for skype video calling) USB OTG (Thumb drives and usb keyboards etc) and HDMI (for playing angry birds on a 42" screen with a mouse!) I wouldn't buy a Neo V (Crap camera) and I wouldn't buy an Arc or Arc S (no front camera) even the new Ray is missing HDMI.. i don't know what sony is thinking.. but the Neo was the only phone they make with everything you could need... and now it is pretty much gone, glad I got mine when I did... just hope they continue to support it

There's still the Pro as well.

But that's at least €50 more expensive, and thicker and heavier.
But it has everything you could want aside from dual core processing power. HDMI, check, 8MP Exmor R sensor, check, hardware shutter, check, hardware qwerty, check, front cam, check. It's as close as a phone currently comes to being the best of all worlds. Not having to compromise is worth the premium and slightly increased size and weight in my book.
GSMArena tested the Neo V, also it's camera.
And the Neo too. You could compare them there.

[Q] xperia p camera swap

Hey guys.. Im wondering if we could swap xperia p camera lens with xperia neo lens? As i know, it has exactly same camera sensor but i dont want to swap whole camera module.. Just it lens assembly.. Because i noticed xperia neo got a bigger lens and better in lowlight condition and it comes to my conclusion that same camera sensor with bigger lens (or aperture?) will let more light to get through.. What do u guys think? Swap only the lens assembly (without the sensor) from xperia neo to xp?

Xperia Z Ultra, ZL, Arc S Display, Lowlight Camera Shots Comparison

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to share a quick comparison among my XZU,ZL, and Arc S displays and lowlight shots. In my opinion, ZU has the best display. But ZL and Arc S have wonderful displays as well, especially with their Bravia engines turned on. In some cases, I actually liked the ZL display better. Besides, Arc S also has ZU like calibration (or the other way around - lol). So as a proud owner of ZL and Arc S, I consider all the 'expert' opinions about their displays as big BS :laugh: That said, ZU display really shines without any additional processing (X-reality), whereas ZL and Arc S need the help of their Bravia engines to keep up with that. I don't care much about viewing angles, but I included few shots - ZU has pretty much all the viewing angles anyone will ever need
About their cameras, I took few indoor pictures since I was feeling too lazy to go out and take some good shots. Most of my real life pictures are indoor lowlight pictures WITHOUT flash anyway. Arc/Arc S camera is an absolute winner considering its age. ZL also has an excellent camera, but I often have to switch to its 'normal' mode to beat my Arc S. Interestingly, ZU camera is good too, but its superior auto mode is junk - I'd say stick with normal mode with 400 ISO and select the white balance manually and you can get much better lowlight shots from ZU. With that said, I think Sony should go ahead and fix ZU's auto mode since most users prefer auto mode
I have Xperia Arc S and Xperia ZL, i think that ZL has the best camera. Considering that it has more beautiful view on it's screen. If we look on PC, then yes maybe the ARC beats ZL, but on the phone, The winner would be ZL or in you're case Xperia ZU!
P.s. Simply my opinion.
The ZU clearly has the best display. The Arc's display is a little too bright and the ZL is a little too dark while the ZU looks to be inbetween those two. The camera on the other hand...
yeah auto looked terrible!
Manual didn't look too bad. Although when I say 'too bad' I mean I could actually make out the shape of a TV. :laugh:

Until you mentioned Arc's display is a little too bright, I was thinking ZU and Arc did look very similar I just figured that my laptop display is the culprit. I can see the difference on ZU screen :laugh:
