i want to buy a Sony phone and the feature that will make the difference for me is the camera !
so the question is if the 8 MPix Exmor R camera is so much better than the 5 MPix camera
for comparison you could think of the camera differences between Xperia Ray and Xperia Mini
this is between Sony Xperia Sola and Xperia P, is the camera worth the extra 100 EURO?
Neo 8mp camera is superb....actually that is iPhone cam...
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...

It depends on the sensor

I am going to get either the Xperia or the Omnia, the only question is which. I would like opinions from others please.
Thanks in advance.
Personally I'd choose Touch Pro.
it really depend on if you want a keyboard or not as on xperia got one
and higher screen res but lower mpixel cam
but some rumors say that xperia may not get released untill feb 2009
FYI...here's the so called official omnia thread for info:

Thanks for the info galaxys
the camera - Samsung cameras (on phones) are never as good as Sony Ericsson or even LG. Even the G800 with it's so-called 'optical zoom' is rubbish.
Last Christmas I had a LG Viewty, Sony Ericsson K850i and Samsung G800. The K850i camera was much better, even better than the N95 camera.
And yes, I know how to use a camera, and what exposure and focus to use.
The 16 gb version of the Omnia is only being released in the US.
xperia hands down

But Xperia will be produced by HTC. Then we do not know if it will have a great Sony Ericsson's CCD matrix or poor HTC's CMOS matrix. There is no point in this discussion until we see any pictures taken by it.
hm?

What ? Which source mention this ? How do you know that Xperia will be under HTC development? Did SE joined forces with HTC on Xperia platform ?
Check this out about camera and picture quality among these phones : http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=289
Xperia will be availiable in Sweden since mid of October.
I vote for the HD definetly!
the 16 gig omnia was on orange but im not sure if it still is
i have it
the camera is **** hot
Sony the one and only...
when my Uni dies,(not any time soon) i will probably look at the X1 as long as Sony supports this phone it should be pretty good. I'm not a fan of sliders but I have to have a key board the TV out is also a cool feature and who knows maybe a mini Blue-Ray recorder,lol,. Dual expansion slots would've helped since I have a bunch of Memory-sticks collecting dust
i have both omnia n xperia and i must say,omnia kick xperia's ass big time...why u ask?? here's why...
*note:comparison are based on out of box experience.
1)accelerometer based applications + games rules,
2)camera rules,camera features like face detection,smile detection,mutiple scenery mode,lanscape mode,business card scanner,5mp still can zoom in(xperia 3mp but cannot zoom,only can zoom at 2mp settings & below)
3)samsung provide on going official firmware update
4)"end user" provide on going custom firmware update
5)omnia code like *#0002*28346# allow volume cuztomisation.So far there's no such code for xperia volume hack yet.but i could be wrong
6)built in 8gb or 16gb memory.(dun even need a micro sd card anymore)
7)omnia widget is far more useful compare to xperia panel(especially the stupid fish panel)
8)Taking pics with xperia is a pain!! camera shutter speed is too slow.really need a super steady hand to take decent pics or else pics will blurr!!
well, these are my personal experience with both phones.....cheers...sorry for bad english.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
thx al3xband for the comments.. I still struggling between xperia and omnia. Prefer Xperia coz it is from SE, have keyboard but the price too exp. Now wonder if I shall get a white color Omnia from Singtelshop...

The camera on the Tipo is pretty crappy. I recently looked at photos taken on a 3-year-old Nokia phone (S60 Symbian) and my Tipo on a large computer screen. The two phone cameras have nominally exactly the same number of pixels, 2048 x 1536 = 3.15 M, but the pictures from the Nokia were a lot sharper. The Tipo photos looked quite blurry in comparison. All were taken in good daylight. I don't know the exact Nokia model, and I don't have that phone handy. It was priced similarly to the Tipo, but 3 years ago.
The camera on the Tipo is basically only suitable for emergency snapshots when you don't have anything better handy, and even then only in daylight. There's effectively no low-light capability at all, and no flash. You do kinda get what you pay for. Of course, some might like the blur and wonky white balance as an artistic effect
I already know that the tipo has 3mp
I want to know that what is the difference between ion's front camera and tipo's back camera because ion's front camera's picture quality is better then tipo
Price is the main difference... use of better hardware and all that...

Sony officially unveiled the hotly anticipated Xperia Z1 that has become well-known under the internal petname Honami. The Z1 brought friends on stage – the QX line of lens-style cameras and a number of other accessories.
Sony Xperia Z1
The Z1 is undoubtedly the star of the show – measuring just 8.5mm in thickness, the Xperia Z1 houses a large 1/2.3" sensor – that's about 70% larger than the sensors on most phones and Sony achieved it without a hump on the back like most other handsets with large sensors.
The camera uses all-Sony tech – an F/2.0 Sony G Lens, a Sony Exmor RS sensor and a Sony BIONZ image processor.
The camera shoots 20.7MP stills and records 1080p video (sorry, no 4K). Sony has developed a custom camera app that offers manual controls and impressive augmented reality features. Third-party devs will be able to use the advanced features of the camera to make their own apps as well.
The Xperia Z1 justifies its name by borrowing the best features of the Xperia Z – slim, water resistant body with OmniBalance design, a sharp 5" 1080p screen and powerful Snapdragon chipset. However, the Z1 is certified to go deeper underwater, it has a new, higher-quality screen and it packs the latest Snapdragon 800 chipset running a Sony-customized version of Android 4.3. And the battery capacity has been bumped up to 3,000mAh.
The new flagship has 4G LTE connectivity, along with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n and NFC, which are used to connect with the next couple of gadgets.
The Sony Xperia Z1 will be available this month in Black, White and Purple.
Sony Cyber-shot QX100 and QX10
The Sony Cyber-shot QX line of lens-style cameras launches with two models – the QX100 and QX10. Both have their own optics and image sensor and can use an Android or iOS device as viewfinder (pairing is done with NFC if available then the image is streamed over Wi-Fi).
The QX100 has a huge 1" Exmor R sensor with 20.2MP resolution, F/1.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonar T* lens, 3.6x optical zoom and stabilization – the same specs as the acclaimed Sony RX100M II. The QX10 is more compact and features a longer zoom range – 10x – and has a Sony G Lens coupled with a 1/2.3" 18.2MP Exmor R sensor.
Both lens-style cameras shoot 1,440 x 1080p video at 30 frames per second and have enough juice in their batteries for 230 shots (or 55-65 minutes of video recording depending on the model). The QX cameras can attach to smartphones of various sizes and some Xperia phones will get dedicated cases that protect the phone and offer an attachment point for the camera. Both QX100 and QX10 can work separately from the phone, while still streaming to the viewfinder, which makes framing in tight spots a breeze.
Looks cool, and would be really cool if they had the clip and full integration with our phones, which I doubt, because we'll probably get left out in the cold with support for it. Reading articles, the 100 model is going to be $500, and $250 for the 10 model. A bit pricey too.
The lens are horribky overpriced, and only available now on the XZ. Would love to use one of those lens attachments on the L!!

Think it's 8MP only (can only select HDR scene in manual mode and scenes are only available at 8MP and lower... So the same as with Z1 and Z2
So its shame of sony 20mp

The camera on this phone is in need of an update. It is crap. Slow, laggy, and the quality is mediocre!
Yeah it annoys me how they market the phone's camera as 20 mp..... Only 1 setting allows it.
hello guys
Can you please tell me wish phone is the best in term of camera? cause i want to buy one of them! thank you!

Z2 cam:
20.7 MP 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS for mobile CMOS sensor
F2.0 lens
4K video recording (3840×2160 pixels/30p)
HDR video
2.2 MP front camera
S4 cam:
13 MP / backside-illuminated CMOS sensor
F2.0 lens
FullHD video recording (1920×1080 pixels/30p)
HDR video
2.0 MP front camera
All in all the Z2's cam should provide a better camera experience
but i heard that the z2 camera struggles indoor is that true?

The S4 will probably take more eye-pleasing pics, despite the lower MP. Samsung has always had great photo processing software. All cameras struggle indoors when there's less light (and outdoors when darker too). I doubt you'd be disappointed in the Z2's camera though, but it might take some tinkering and experimenting with different modes to find what works best. Beyond the camera, the Z2 is the better overall phone; faster processor, more RAM, waterproof, front-facing speakers, longer battery life (although the S4's is replaceable) etc.
If you're looking for an expensive 1-2 generation old flagship and camera quality is your priority, the LG G2 trumps both the S4 and the Z2.
