One of the more interesting features of the new Sony Xperia ion is its 12.1 MP camera, capable of shooting 1080p video. Of course, we know that photo quality doesn't depend exclusively on the number of megapixels, so we preferred to take some images with the phone, in order to see what kind of camera quality we should expect from the Xperia ion once it launches.

To tell you the truth, we do find the still and video that we took to be quite good, but of course, we need to test the actual retain unit (this one here may not be final) to be able to draw any conclusions. We also took the same pictures with the Panasonic Lumix FZ40 digital camera for reference.
