    AnonD-209094, 14 Sep 2014Nice one, this demonstrates well how Xperias behave in good light, the footprints on the beach... moreActually it shows that alpha is the worst shooter of the 3. And shows that z3c is overall best of the 3...
    Funny interpretations people have...:-) , you mention footprints that arent even in the frame for z3 and s5

      whats the use of calling this a water proof phone, if sony cannot correct the problems for the flaps which gets damaged/does not close properly after sometime.

          AnonD-307156, 14 Sep 2014http://i.imgur.com/5YEXqOm.jpgNice one, this demonstrates well how Xperias behave in good light, the footprints on the beach, they are simply disappearing. While Alpha does an amazing job despite being lowest res of all these, it also keeps a lot more detail on the distant shore.

          The comfort for Z3c is that if it was clouded or twilight or something else than a sunny day the Xperia would still give a useable photo, the Samsungs would not (at least not at the first few tries and likely only after you waste 5 minutes with manual settings)

            AnonD-293547, 14 Sep 2014 My z ultra has 3000mah and the charger out 1.5A and it took 2hrs and 30 mins to full batt To... moreXperia Z, 2330 mah, takes around 2 and a half hour even when not totally empty. But since Z Ultra is a slightly newer model i will go for your number, and say MAYBE Z3c can charge in less than 2h30m.

                      I believe that 720p is the sweet spot for devices less than 4.9 inches since the ppi is still pretty high and the lot of us use our phones at a distance the way it should be.

                          this is the ultimate complete package smartphone
                          insane battery life
                          great screen
                          good design
                          very fast (S801 @720p)
                          excellent camera (best video stabilization out there, good 4k, pictures in the same level as galaxy alpha/GS5, better low light if used correctly in manual. the wider fov is awesome too)
                          IP 65/68 is amazing
                          microSD support
                          and the excellent price.

                          best overall phone till date

                                Meanwhile, Go over to a proffesional site like DxMark, they have a review of z3c camera too...and read very,very carefully pros and cons of the cam

                                Maybe, just maybe you'll learn something new

                                Seems that GSMA reviewer and a couple of folks here that share your opinion...mean a World to you :-D

I maybe act as a fan but there is no doubt, with a good reason ... moreThis case is closed, except you there is no disagreement of Alpha being the better camphone. you vs the world, whats the chance you are the only one to see that?

                                    I rest my case. When the whole world is against you theres no chance you are right.

                                        Well, looking at the sample images, one can see that the optics for the 20MP shooter has been significantly improved in comparison to Z1c. Weak sharpness in corners was definitely the deal breaker for z1c.
