Camera samples from the Vibe Z2 Pro show what to expect from the Note 4 shooter

Yeah I thought they were going with Sony's lens too.

Irrespective of that the low light imaging has improved leaps and bounds since GS5 thanks to OIS.

Sorry, the shots are nice but still I'm finding it li'l grainy. Using Sammy's ISOCELL is bit surprising though.

I think It looks pretty great actually & Don't worry it'll be much better on note 4 with the same sensor.

Yup. Sammy will have better algorithms with the Note 4. Also, if this rumor is true, the Note 4 should have the speedy contrast focusing of the GS5.... Note 4 is shaping up to be one truly compelling smartphone.

Sammy just needs to tell when thay will ship the Note 4 on VZW. One of my upgrades may be used for a Note 4.

Just like Sony camera sensors, other manufacturers who use it on their devices will most likely be better than on Sony's devices itself. Samsung is no exception.

thats an irony... sony is unable to utilize its sensors better others

Sony is the worst when it comes to optimizing their sensors, and trust me, it is an exception. The Z2 has the biggest sensor among flagships and yet it fell behind the 16mp S5, 13mp G3, iP5s 8mp. And they shouldn't be happy that they managed to beat the M8, since we are talking about a 4mp camera.

from ur comment i see u are fanboy or a blind person who think he know techno very well .. camera of z2 beats g3 .. s5 5s in every comparaison i see in youtube .. s5 camera is for amateur photographe who want an oversaturated camera and they are happy with fake colors ... i was in a night weeding yesterday and my z2 blow away all note 3 , 5s , s5 cameras ;) .. sony still work with a sensor 1 year old ( z1 ) wich is the second sensor seens they joing mobile world ( i talk about sony not sony ericsson ) , this is just the beggining , wait for z4 new sensor curved camera .. ;)

Sony is INTENTIONALLY making their camera software cr*p because they feel that their 1/2.3" 20.7MP sensor is good enough to compete against point & shoot cameras and Sony doesn't want their point & shoot and smart lenses sales to drop big time.

Think..

- Sony cameras totally beat the living sh*t out of other manufacturer cameras such as canon, samsung, etc.. Only Nikon is on par with Sony in terms of image quality. At dxomark camera assesment, sony camera scores averaged at >80 while samsung & canon only averaged at 65-70.

- While sony is the greatest at making sensors and optimizing their dslr & other type cameras, their cameraphone can't quite.. Well.. Live up to full potential

- Nokia has always had the best shooters in the smartphone cameras but they never make standalone cameras or DSLRs.. Why? Because they know they can't beat Sony.

My points are somewhat logical aren't, they?

Come on, sony has hundreds of years of experience in camera.. They can't be that foolish with their cameraphone

hmmm... thats a point... may be its true

27. maherk (Posts: 4845; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

A manufacturer is deliberately making it's product worst than what the competition is offering. That is a joke right? If not, then I feel sorry for you.

29. Ashoaib (Posts: 3229; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)

well, you also got a point.... :D

30. Scarambay (Posts: 94; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)

Sony fanboys keep saying the same sh!t - Sony deliberately downplays its cameras on the smartphones because they don't want to cannibalize their mainstream cameras. The main reason could be - the engineers that work on their mainstream cameras and smartphone cameras are probably not the same, and the latter are not as good as the former.

By any remote chance if Sony is deliberately gimping its phones, then it better get its head out of its ass, 'cause that's upper stupidity.

QX10 vs Lumia 1020

http://www.allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/19228_Camera_head_to_head_Nokia_Lumi.php

Xperia Z1 vs Lumia 1020

http://www.allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/18471_Nokias_PureView_copied_Lumia_1.php

As we all know.. Both QX 10 and Xperia Z1 have the same sized 1/2.3" sensor. But when compared to lumia 1020 which has a sensor size twice the size of both qx10 and Z1..

- Z1 lose quite badly, even with oversampling

- QX10 actually came really close to lumia 1020. Daylight shots quality is on par and in low light, qx10 only lose by a hair which is impressive considering qx10 sensor size is only half the size of lumia 1020's and QX10 doesn't have OIS and Oversampling.

Both comparisons seem to prove my hypothesis to be true.

Xperia Z1 Compact vs Lumia 1520:
http://www.pureviewclub.com/2014/21806

Even with larger sensor than lumia 1520, Xperia Z1C's images are a complete disaster when compared to lumia 1520's images

Xperia Z2 vs Lumia 1520
http://www.pureviewclub.com/2014/23604

It is a hell of a different story here, sony has tweaked the camera software for Z2 and the quality is identical to lumia 1520.

Oh yeah, all the comparisons are provided by nokia fanboy site.. You don't have to ask me the purpose XD

I'm great fan of Nokia devices, i own Lumia 1020 but the truth is that Nokia has never developed CMOS sensor for camera. Their 41MP camera is made by Futjitsu or some other company, i dont remember. Sony and Samsung have the technology to produce new sensors. Isocell is on the beginings, it is a new technology that will furder be developed. Imaginehow CMOS was developed in the last 10 years... i can imagine in what Isocell will become in that time... i wiould like to be born 20 years later...50.... 134... ;)

even nikon cant beat sony!!!!!!
(nIKON D810 MODEL WHICH IS BEST ACCORDING TO DXOMARK USES SONY 36MP SENSOR!!!!)

Note 3 user here, if I try to take a picture like #9 and zoom 200% I´ll never be able to see the details like this one. Waiting Note 3 !!!!

25. chrisditya (Posts: 9; Member since: 31 Jul 2014)

That's really clear picture, and natural colour. Great.

After upgrade OS, the great is gone.
