Not sure about the comparison but the v60's camera is world's better then my 7t pro McLarens was. Also there are plenty of YouTube videos that are saying it's as good if not slightly better then the galaxy s20. I am very satisfied with photo quality of this device.

There's not much examples even in proper https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v60-thinq/review/photo-quality-t4056903/post82589267 section. The owners of V60 are so much more lazy to show examples and comparisons, even @ redd.it not many photos to look up

I don't know if you'll be able to see this video or not, because I can't remember if it's Patreon only or not. But this is the best camera dive you'll find...
I've got a s20 ultra and v60, the pics are similar until you start shooting in manual mode (v60 excels).

coming from a note 1, Im a little shocked to see just how badly compressed the ZU's camera is.. I dont care about the lack of flash, but the colour is terrible and i often cant see a great improvement from VGA res photos to "8mp" (actually apparently only 7mp.. and only 4:3) .. im clinging to the fact that its the jpg compression that is causing the majority of the lacking detail (looks very much like it) and that an update somewhere along the line will let you save as fine quality or ideally TIF / RAW
I haven't actually got the phone yet but have seen a lot of reviews on this topic and they all agree with you... I think your right that they have rushed out the phone to early adopters to beta test if you like before releasing to the western markets. I'm pretty sure there'll be an update with in a month that improves camera, screen issues as well as Sony app crashes.

It's completely the JPG compression. At 8MP setting, the resolution is 3264x2448. That would be a 22 meg uncompressed file. The photos the ZU takes are 1.5 megs as a JPG. They're way overcompressed and show ridiculous amounts of artifacting. Why do they do this? What year is this? Are we concerned about a 5 meg photo?
My guess is some marketing / support execs decided they didn't want to take support calls for people trying to email a few 5meg JPEGs so they just crank it up to heavily compressed so the files are 1 meg and email easily without any conversion.
I just hate that everything has to be decided based on the lowest common denominator of idiots. Clearly though, that's what's happened here because the camera sensor is probably not bad.
It will be funny when people are all excited to buy Honami because of the 21mp sensor but the final JPGs will be compressed to ****.
Yeah, after 2-3 weeks with this, a coming to love it in general, fact is the camera will have me off to the Note 3... Silly Sony.

The XZU has a camera? Wow, it's so far down my list of priorities, I guess I just didn't notice.
I was actually impressed with the camera on this smartphone. So much better than my Xperia T on color reproduction and noise reduction.
I feel like the camera is really good in light but useless in low light. I love my phone but I may buy something like the galaxy camera or if the qx10 gets a larger holder I would buy that.
so is this truly a software bug and can it fixed by sony

I myself don't bother too much with great camera quality on a smartphone.. Nowadays, it's about capturing the moment rather than checking every pixel out of a picture.. If you are really into such a thing, those QX series is a great addition i guess

I think Sony is using a cheap sensor on the XZU. The pictures are just plain ugly comparative to older phone cameras. The worst picture taken from my HTC Butterfly looks way better than the best picture taken by my XZU.

I'm contented with how the picture that I took with my XZU turned out. Maybe because I am not a "photographer" :laugh:
Note: Photos were cropped and I just encircled some parts of it, as I used them in reporting something at work. No filter done though!

From the pics you posted you can clearly (or not) notice the lack of detail. It looks like a collage. Compare that to the photo from my HTC Butterfly at the same 8MP.

The quality... is pretty bad.
My Galaxy Note 2 camera is much much better.
The quality is so bad that even for a basic photo of friends it doesnt do.
Like the other guy said, if you take a photo of a whiteboard at college, or at a presentation it comes out so bad that you can barely see whats on it.
I don't know how you people are managing to screw things up so bad with the camera. It's no Lumia 1020, but it's really not that bad if you don't use the standard Sony app. Or even if you do, it's fine so long as you don't zoom in. Not sure how you're going to claim it's not good enough for casual pictures of friends. I find it had to believe there are so many photography enthusiasts out there all of a sudden. Before I had a smartphone, I didn't own a camera at all, and I know many people for whom this is also true. I suspect this is the case for many users. Any camera is better than no camera.

I found a couple of G2 photosets on flickr. They look better than the older leaked photos.

Post any other pictures and videos you may find. I know some of you suckers already have the G2 from AT&T. Let me see what you're made of.
Thanks for the links! I am very interested to see how the camera compares to the Note 3. And these pictures look pretty good!
I was definitely going to get the Note 3 until I read it doesn't have OIS, now I am considering the G2... And the price is pretty good also. Only $575 off contract vs $725 for the Note 3 on AT&T.
Yes, those pics look awesome!!

Well I saw this yesterday
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Camera-shootout-Note-3-vs-Galaxy-S4-vs-G2-vs-iPhone-5-vs-One_id47239
I can't find any definitive proof that the Note 3 doesn't have OIS. The O in OIS stands for optical, so there is no such thing as a digital OIS. That's just simple image stabilization, without the O.
Nvm. Poopoo it doesn't have it. I wasn't planning on getting it anyway. No one bothers to mention it besides dpreview. At least I can rely on them to get the camera specs right.

So far the LG G2 is my fallback plan. The Xperia Z1 has established itself as having an awful camera, and screen, and is big and heavy for a small 5". The Note 3 is more of the same. I am sick of my cheap ass built Note 2 with squishy cover. No plans to upgrade to the same thing. My only hope is the Oppo N1 comes out to be amazing, and has a killer camera. All other companies have laid out their disappointing hands.

There are already a bunch of shootouts and comparisons out there. The HTC camera has only 4MP so it looks blurry no matter what. It couldn't compare to 8MP cameras, much less the newer 13MP ones right now. HTC also has very bad processing with weird colors and heavy sharpening and noise removal. It was one of the best low light shooters on Android, but the G2 can compete with OIS, and has much better resolution.

Most of the pictures I've seen are from reviewers, not average users and that's what I'd like to see.
Just because the HTC One only has 4mp doesn't automatically mean blurry... I'm a crap photographer which I'll readily admit and I've got some great shots on the HTC One by just pointing and clicking. Here are a couple examples... If the G2 can do better, I'll be really happy with it! I'm tempted to head to an AT&T store this morning.

You are right in a way. I have HTC One too but pictures become blur as you start to zoom-in because it is only 4MP. Whereas 13MP on the other hand has 3 times more detail in the picture. And to make the point clear, in a common user perspective G2 can blow HTC one out of water (in camera).
A quick pic I took in my office yesterday. Auto settings, didn't change anything.

Some pics from yesterday, not really trying just pointing and shooting. Also i had changed my lcd density without setting the xposed framework to put the camera back at 480 so auto focus was confused the entire time.

I currently own S6. Looking for an upgrade. I am looking at G5 and S7 as potential options. Given the price, not interested in G6 or S8. Any suggestions between G5 and S7? I am not an amateur! I used to own rooted Nexus devices with Cyanogen running on it Carriers have locked down bootloader and rooting seems to be way complicated. I would not take too much risk. I would stick with some non-root adblock solutions
Now the real question! The most important need for me is camera. I need a solid camera which I would use primarily for,
- Family selfies - me, 2 kids and wife
- Indoor and outdoor snap of kids - little kids always running around and not interested in staying still!
I have read so many reviews for hours and hours on these 2 phones. I get a mixed opinion on the camera. Some claim S7 is best and some claim G5 is best. I am not a picture expert to understand Aperture, etc. I would need a phone which works best with auto mode. The kids will run away before I can change any settings!!
Given this specific need on camera, any suggestions based on your personal experience with G5 and S7?
Camera is fantastic on both phones but on the balance of it get the S7. I've had the G5 since Oct and it's been pretty good but the build quality really is shocking.
The cameras on G5 are very good , but with moving objects they suck
Sent from my LG-H860 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks both. Send like S7 is good overall. I heard G5 is good when using manual mode and telling pictures of scenery. For something like pictures of kids, S7 seems to be better. I will wait to see if anyone things otherwise
Obviously S7 is great for fast snaps let it be in good lighting or dark surroundings. And with s7 you get to record 3 sec video with every picture you take. Which can be saved as video or choose a specific still in that. That comes in handy very well.
While g5 is mainly for landscape and still photograph. With manual mode you get exceptional pics. But for moving things or fast snaps not so good.
Video recording is pretty much same on both.
Hope this helps you.
Selfie is much better with g5. I had s7 edge and I can compare.
S7 back camera make to me better impression

Thanks for creating and sharing that man. I like how you actually recorded with both devices at the same time instead of one at a time, while trying to do the exact same thing, which is never exactly the same.
You can really see the difference in the motion blurring effect between the S8 and Note8 especially in darker scenes.
Thanks again.

Wow, the Note 8 actually is a WAY better video there. The lack of motion blur is really, really noticeable. AWESOME!
Not to be negative, but I don't see the difference to justify the additional spend. Still photos perhaps. Regardless, thank you for taking the time and effort to putting this together.

The stuttering is why I only recorded in 1080/60 with my S8+. Looks like I will be able to do UHD now. Can't wait until we have root so we can get that data rate to 100+ Mbps where it needs to be with UHD. 60FPS would be nice too.

That's not negative, that's just... CRAZY. That S8+ video was choppy as hell and I would never record in 4K if I had that phone. It's night and day different.
I finally grabbed my v30+ Korean version. I am not sure if I have too much expectation or it's a real issue but I see so much noise while I'm taking a picture especially in low light (in house) conditions. Sunny outdoor shots have no problem but indoor pictures are worrying me, so is it me or the phone? [emoji848]

At a glance, your photos look like mine. The FFC is total garbage. Dumpster fire garbage. I come from a Lumia 950. Say what you want about windows, but those phones have a great camera. I have had to settle and adjust to my new reality. My wife still has a 950. I ask her to take the important pics. One good thing about the V30 though, it has manual settings. I would like to learn how to use manual better because amazing things can be done with this V30, then.

You're right, I actually spent like 5 minutes for adjusting the manual camera, and got a better result than default setting photos. But we can't spend that much time every time, note 8 and pixel 2 xl cameras are amazing, I thought V series were supposed to bring the best camera performance under every circumstances

I am on the Oreo beta program. From what I reckon. Improvement has been done when it comes to the noise in low light shots.
It might be by imagination, since I cant exactly pop the same shot twice and compare. But from recollection, I would say that it has improved.
