Camera XZ1 - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Anybody, any info about Sony's plan, to improve our device camera? As minimum ability to have RAW format, more SS.
Is it possible to unlock/have camera 2api ?
One more question. Do you also have that feelings, that camera theme is a TABU for Sony's support, moderators, care and other people from Sony?

No there is no chance for xz1 to be improved. Camera has no ois or eis. Sony doesn't support 2api so you can't have raw or more SS. Maybe xz2 camera will include them.

Yeah...
It is so sad to see a very very good manufacturer not being able to compete the competition with its own tool (hardware components) this only due to lack of development...
Was on HTC (HD2 then Evo3d), came to Sony (first Z version) came back to Sony Z5 and HTC 10 after being so disappointed about camera quality and finally back to Xz1 (bought a XZ to my wife and was pretty convinced about progress) but I have to admit that I am still expecting that HTC revive my 2 years old HTC 10 as I am not at all satisfied about camera picture quality...
Do not get me wrong... The Xz1 is far one of the best phone (specially on Battery, Responsiveness, Security patches,...) but not for pictures.
Except may be the very slow motion but I have read that S9 will have the same... So no more advantages...

General camera quality?

Hi,
I would like to buy this phone. The camera quality is on the 1. place for me.
I have read many review but everybody is talking differently...
I currently own Gionee E7 with great 16MP OmniVision shooter and I am
really afraid to swap it...
So is that 21mp camera good or not comparing to etc. Samsug galaxy s6??
Could someone upload unedited photos somewhere?
How camera quality is related to ROM updates?
Thanks!
There's camera samples everywhere, the sony imx 230 is very good at daylight, but for low light it is very under saturated! Also pretty noisy.
I reccomend to buy LeMax2 if you aim to buy a powerful device at a relative low price.
Otherwise, if camera is your number one reason to buy a phone, you should skip this.
It has a good camera, and sometimes you can take really good shots with enough lighting, but comparison with Galaxy S6 and others top-of-the-line smartphones is unfair.
Moreover, ROM developers are struggling to get full functionality with the camera, unless they aren't original based ROMs, so you are limited to EUI as of now.
And to add something, LeMax2 sensor camera is the same as these devices:
LeTV One Max X900
Meizu PRO 6, PRO 5
Honor 7
Elephone Vowney, M3
Lenovo Vibe X3
Sony Xperia Z5, Z3+, M5
Motorola Moto X Force, Moto X Play, Moto X Style, Droid Turbo 2
Thank you Star_dust6 for great answer!
It seems I will skip this device because of camera...

You're welcome.
As for smartphones with a really good camera, you should aim for something like LG G5: is a little bit expensive (350 €), but worth every penny.

Which camera sensor are the new lots of RN4 shipping with in India?

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.
---------------------------------------------------
People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

LCD Tianma?
Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Which app are you using to check what the hardware is? I wanna check my camera and FP sensor too, since I bought from Flipkart too during that sale. Thanks.

Xperia XZ1 camera improvement, Android 9

Hello, I am not a programer but
Since Xperia XZ1 is not supported by Sony and it was added to xperia Open Devices, I was wondering if someone developed some "camera systen improvement". I think that camera sensor is good, but camera system and processing is not as good as it could be. I really believe that with beter system it could be comparable with nowdays phones.
So have any developer dealt with this issue ?

Question Can someone upload photos taken from Xperia 1 III main camera please? Better than Xperia 1 II or the same?

Please indulge me. Prove that Xperia 1 III can deliver much better photos than Xperia 1 II with main wide camera sensor at least. Thanks!
Hm, no response. Suggest there is nothing to show off really or just a very few people have got the phone.

i think the latter. it’s not yet been released in the US. i think only in China.
I've read they've released an update already, so all those early photo reviews are "outdated".
Anyway, this is the most recent and "best" photos taken with it I could find...

Just got the phone yesterday here is one pic I took in auto mode no adjustments of a beautiful Nissan 280z
I've got one, the photos taken so far are better than that on the Xperia 1 II. There is no normal camera app though, only the Camera Pro is stock this time around.

I saw this review. Nothing really exiting or convincing so far. None of reviewed phones delivering outstanding photos to my opinion. Bloody Pixel 4 in still unbeatable in most situations in therms of final results so far. And this is weird...
