I'm on the 5.30pm slot...

Going to check out the zoomed in picture quality because my wife had almost all of the Z series and the "watercolour effect" is really annoying when you want to crop a picture for editing.

Just saw a video on the Z5 zoomed in picture quality, against a few other brands recent release, and that issue is still very much apparent.

My wife just changed to another brand after years of staying true to Sony and me hoping their software update will resolve it but alas not to be :(

The Z5 have such strong spec but if the final image product is still sub-par, camera-centric users will stay away.

I hope during the launch event SOny can show that they can fix things and have a stronger team in their software dept.

Bro your wife need Sony A7S II...

Here is a hands on review on z5. Premium should fare better

Verdict
The Xperia Z5 is a great flagship smartphone, and arguably the best Sony smartphone yet. The slightly more squared-off design compared to the Z3 makes it look a little more generic, but the frosted glass on the back is considerably more attractive.

The best parts about the Z5 are the fingerprint sensor and the camera, but competitors including Apple and Samsung have equally good systems.

It’s difficult to stand out in the crowded high-end smartphone market, and not quite making two-days of battery is disappointing. The Z5 is good, it’s just not quite the best.

Pros: waterproof, good camera, microSD card slot, great fingerprint scanner

Cons: doesn’t live up to battery expectations, no wireless charging, not the snappiest, weak camera flash, can get quite warm

Shame on Sony if Z5 Premium cannot out-perform others in Camera department when launch.
LG G4 has got one of the best cameras till date.

Why is there a need for Sony's z5 camera to out perform every handphone brand in the universe?

Is LG's G4 superior to every handphone out there in every aspect?

shame on you, that you need to go to other brands thread to protect your 'pride'

a phone is just a gadget. its common, its cheap and anyone can afford it.

No need to go for such drastic words for a product that is not even for sale now.

Just don't buy the phone if you don't like. :D

How about getting a FULFILLING life?

He is criticizing a gadget but you are attacking him personally to get a life?

Irony.

If people did any volunteering on the ground, even in super "rich" Singapore, they would know not everybody can afford a phone.

Being in debt is not affordable.
if his criticism is anywhere near to being constructive and open minded, i'm sure it will be open for discussion. there are quite a few constructive criticism, and your is one of them.

clearly, he is quite the opposite. and i'm merely pointing it out.

not going to derail further on such debate. if you can't see it, so be it.




edit : speaking about volunteering, i do it once in a while, be it old folks home, or events for children from low income family. but that will be beyond the context of this thread. if you want to talk about it, open a thread in the right sub-forum and PM me.

ha ha ha. Do you even fully understand why he's saying shame on sony's smartphone camera performace?
Sony's camera sensors are also used in samsung and apple products but the software processing seems to always be lacking in comparison.

Sony Xperia Z5 premium will cost me around SGD 1200 and it will be releasing 3-4 months after LG G4 and still you want people to compromise..

And please get a life dude, m sony fan but not blind fan, still using Xperia Z3 because of its awesome battery life.

If u advertise that much on the new 23MP camera then yes, i would expect the sony Z5/Z5P/Z5C to perform better than most or all phone camera out there, but of cos not to the extend of "out-performing". :D

I think this is spot on. Sony is a company that makes cameras. Just imagine if Canon made a smartphone and the camera sucked! Wouldn't you be saying shame on Canon?
