Hi all
I would like to know which Exmor RS camera sensor is used (I suppose it is the same for both rear and front) for the C5 (IMX135 or IMX214 or ...else)?
Is there a way (an app or looking inside the software) to know that information?
Thanks in advance
François
I googled this back before buying, I found that a lot of websites said it uses the Sony IMX214, try to use "C5 Ultra IMX214" as search keyword

I did it and all the hits of the search gave me a lot of errors about screen size, 5Mp for front cam and all are dated before the release of the phone. Today only the mention Exmor RS is used for the C5 ultra.
Anyway thanks

Hello all! I am really wondering about the camera quality of the new Neo V comparing to the normal Neo. As far as I understood, the Neo V has 5 MP while the Neo has 8 MP. Well 5 or 8 I don't care or contrary if the qaulity of the 5 MP is very good, no need for 8 MP.
Unfortunately it seams that nobody thinks it is necessary to make a test. Often in the specs, which are obviously copied from the Neo, they are mentioning wrongly 8 MP.
If somebody could tell me his experience or drive me to a review It would be highly appreciated!
I would buy the normal Neo but it is for my girlfriend and she insist on a white phone. The Neo in white would be perfect but I guess this does not exist?!

I think it has the same 5mp sensor as the Xperia Mini (pro), so I maybe you should search for reviews of those phones.
But the quality of xperia mini pro is very poor xD
Cam pix quality is not good here...lots of noise in pix
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
neo v(5mp) camera cannot be compared to NEO(8mp) but i am pretty sure that it is better than MINI PRO
Xperia Neo camera is very good. The picture quality is very nice. About the sensor of the camera, it could be better of course.
Anyway, the problem of most cameras even the 2-3-5 Mpix ones is the compression of the saved picture. The Xperia Neo compression of *.jpeg is quite high, the pictures are less than 1MB in 8Mpix mode. If you use a better app for the camera (like 360camera) you will see the real quality of the camera, never mind the 8Mpix.
Thanks for the feed back. So I guess the photo quality is not really amazing.
Is there any chance to get the normal Neo in white??

buy a Neo and then buy a white housing like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ho...15i-Xperia-Neo-L-/310322539361#ht_1061wt_1037

I head this idea as well, you think that that the housing is compatible? Can somebody confirm this? Thank you!
Why not just get a Silver Neo? Close enough to white and imho the best look for the Neo.
With the normal neo, you only can zoom in with 6mp, so it it isn't that big of a difference
silver color is the best for neo & neo v , it looks highlighted around the dark black screen
Based on the mode you select the configuration of the pixel is decided on neo , it is changed to 5mp for some of the modes
Hi!
As you can see on the IFA, the new Xperia Z3 has got ISO 12800 in camera. And I have got a question. Is possible to get ISO 12800 on Xperia Z2? Because hardware is the same like in Z3 so difference is only in software, yes? Will it be possible to convert? Because I don't know what to do. Wait for Xperia Z3 or buy Z2 and wait for mod.

We will see soon.Im almost sure that we could get the option for our Z2's.Stay tuned 1 more week and we will find out for sure.Dont rush for the Z3 :highfive:
What's ISO exactly? Yeah I know it and heard about it a lotta times before. But what exactly is it? I mean if I have the ISO 92387459328756238765723238759872 setting in my camera, does it mean it's the best camera in the world?
No.
High iso sensitivity is good in the dark, higher iso means more lit up images, but as I experience high iso in phone makes picture look like it's painted with watercolors.

guys,
any update on this?
love to get my hands on the ability to capture pics at iso 12800.
What's the max ISO in Z2?

3200 is max ISO on Xperia Z2.
Also i want to say, dont get high hope for this ISO settings, because z3 have much wider lens (new g lens series on it), and it could be hardware features, because wider angle lens is able to pick up more light then narrow one on Z1/Z2.
But never say never, i just want to let you know that camera had more upgrade on z3 then you think, so dont get high hope for this one.

Where did you read this? Because I can't find any info about this. Yes, I know that sony on website tell to us about his wider lens in Z3 but as I know, this is between Z3 and any other phone (not Z2, Z1). So there is not any hardware difference, maybe in overclocked CPU but I think it is also software change.

At first brush, Sony's newest flagship sports the same 20.7 MP Exmor sensor with 1.12 micron pixels as its predecessor, the Z2, but Sony touted that the kit now has the newer generation G Lens optics, and other improvements under the hood, such as being the first flagship that can boast up to 12800 ISO sensitivity in night mode.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/First-Sony-Xperia-Z3-camera-samples-are-here_id60188
No, really. All that Sony needed to do was make the best better, and it has done so here thanks to a few choice tweaks. For starters there's a new 25mm G lens for wide angle shots - with an Xperia Z2 on hand, you can immediately see how much more the Z3 fits in frame, which is good news for all those group shots.
http://www.stuff.tv/sony/sony-xperia-z3/review
New lens and probably sensor (which is more sensitive)
I guess there's no news on this :/
Considering it only reaches those 12800 in some modes, with a reduced resolution and, most of all, that the low light sensitivity gets much worse after unlocking the bootloader (wiping the DRM-protected camera algorithms), it sounds to me like at least a good part of it is software.
Some touted features of newer model cameras have been made available to previous devices with no trouble, can only hope that's the case with this.
The higher ISO and much better looks (IMO) are the only reasons why I'm looking at a Z3 instead of the, much cheaper by now, Z2. I wish that feature could be brought to the older device.
Xpeeia Z2 camera total ISO is 6800 but in manual its limited to 3200
Maybe with some camera modding we can unlock the total iso

Any news on this? Could we mod the Z2 cam to shoot at 12.800 ISO?
It's true the Z2 max is 6.400 ISO and it's quite a high value for a mobile, but it could be fine to reach 12.800 ISO like Z3... I think it's actually just a software matter...

No, Z2s hardware is only capable to 6800
Z3 has a slightly different camera sensor which alows it to 12800
You could probably modify the camera app to show higher values but i dont know how to do that

Honestly, I don't think 6.400 or 12.800 are hardware actual isos in any of these phones. Even in DSLR, usually their highest isos are interpolated by software. For example in my Canon 550d (t2i), the highest real iso is 6.400, but you can activate 12.800 iso option and if you install "magic lantern" hack, you can even activate 25.600.
But you're right, probably it's a very deep feature in the camera driver or something like that and it's almost impossible to "port". And could we try to use exactly the same camera files in z3?
Someone posted comparison pictures for nighshots with z2 and z3.You guys probably saw them and i can say that there is almost no difference between the two phones and the ISO difference as well.Its not of a big deal afterall ^^
i'm soon buying z2, or z3
wanted to know if the camera z2 good for shaking hands?

well Xperia has software solution for it called steady shot
if shaking hand is matter u should buy a phone with OIS camera (maybe available in next Xperia flagship)
it s hardware solution (optical image stabilization)
OIS is available in Note4, G3, Nexus5

But with shaking hand or ... i get always awesome pictures by Xperia Z2
:good:
So I recently learned that the Sony Xperia Z2 (and the Z1, Z3, Z3+, Z5) does NOT use the full 20.7/23 MegaPixels available to it. All of them use the 8MP 16:9 mode in both Auto and Manual mode. Sure, I can set the camera to 20.7 MP in manual mode but that doesn't allow me to use any other manual feature?!
Also, in MOST of the cases, the 8 MP 16:9 setting resulted in better outcomes than the 20.7 MP setting.
I was wondering why Sony does this and if anybody has made/can make a camera app or something to do justice to all the available MegaPixels?
Thanks.
PS: I did find another post with a similar title but that was just a case mod which replaced the stock lens cover with and iPhone lens cover because the stock one is "crap and gets easily scratched". What I'm asking about is software mods/improvements.
Yes there are some camera mods available if you check the cross-device development section
There is a mod that I currently use
Where there is option to set shutter speed,exposure mode and ISO settings and also I can change these while on 20.7 mp

I am using PexoCam and it allows me to adjust quality on AUTO to 20.7mpx

Personally I don't like what pexocam does with pictures. I use lollipop stock camera with an Xposed module which allows superior auto 20mpx shots and working OK for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577743

Would like to know which sensor this beast is using. My current prediction is the IMX214 or OV13858, but may be horribly wrong. Thanks!
Not sure if this is what you wanted:
Anandtech review says:
Moto Z: Sony IMX214 Exmor RS (1.12µm, 1/3.06")
Moto Z Force: Sony IMX338 Exmor RS (1.12µm, 1/2.4")
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10493/motorola-moto-z-force-droid-review/5
Anandtech gave very high praise to Z force camera.
I will say that with my short experience with the Z force that is the best camera I have ever used on on an android phone. I'm looking very forward with taking many more shots.
