P30 series & Mate 20 series has no boosting oversaturation on Master AI turned off. I hope u just stick with your Z2 on the next 10 years. Even Xperia 1 is 10x better than it. If u support Sony, u should buy at least every 2 generation of it. If every blind Sony fans are like you, licking them all over by mouthtalking but not actually own them, no wonder Sony Xperia sales are down to worst number this year.

By the way, how you edit/revert your "Street" style color back to normal/natural? It is hard to you so just simply enjoy your favourite "Street" style color.

Color noise, bad details & textures, underexposed, grainy results & dull that makes it looks very unappealing. All of that aspects are not what our eyes see. U gotta check your eyes maybe. And sorry to say this, it looks like a photo taken by a kiddo, with below amateur level of photography skills.

          I wont say this if you at least be reasonable & gave a logical statement. But your overconfident by defending Sony for whatever they do, there u go.

            Samsung, lg, apple, nokia, huawei... all cheap trash.
            I only follow Sony.

Some of the cheap image algorithm just change contrast and white balance the end result are eye catching but it no way a good image quality. Unlike the "mainstream" Sony don't follow it and don't make the cheap image algorithm, as you can see from my Satay, it restore the reality as I see.

Even Xperia Z2 manual mod is limited compare to others, i know, i own it as well. The way to improve Z2 camera are by installing Cyberian camera mod - https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/mod-cyberian-camera-t3267271
                More manual control, image algorithm improving with that mod compared to stock. But as todays standard? Even mid rangers offer a lot quality better cameras, both in Auto & manual.

                          Just because someone makes some factual statements about something that's not perfect about the device does not mean they hate Sony or have not used one.
                          Just because they are calling out someone for claiming it to be ungodly superior to everything as well as half the time putting down other rivaling companies as garbage in comparison.... does not mean we hate, don't like, don't love, haven't used, aren't using... Sony.

                          I love many Sony things. I have one of my Sony phones in my lap now. It doesn't mean I'm going to follow them like an apple fan follows. They are good but they have a number of key faults holding their mobile line back. Which only a few are starting to be addressed. Luckily the motherboard failures were taken care of after years.
                          They are not infallible. And often have never really been better than other devices in much of anything in many years. Yes that's factual. No it clearly doesn't mean they haven't brought or had any standout features. Yes it's pathetic I have to point that out.
                          And one that hits users and non users hard is that they haven't really stood out in photography for years. Despite them being Sony and supplying the sensors to most.
                          They are not God. They are a tech company. One with dollar signs in their eyes like most other companies. And hard headed old people running it that won't move on with the times for the better.

                          Learn to read, learn facts on what you are replying, learn to put your bias aside... Any or all of those things will work.

                            Is it you Pro, 07 Aug 2019I don't know what are you nagging about, but Xperia 1 image... moreI just bought RX100 vi earlier this month. While some parts of it identical as Xperia 1, but the rest of the aspects is way superior of course. Wider dynamic range & a lot better than Xperia 1, has image stacking option, no oversharpen photos as Xperia produce, and way way better low lights as it has the bigger sensor plus with 2.4 micron pixel size. I'm happy with my RX100 vi, especially with its optically zoom range, perfect for street photography & taking photos of random people.

                            'Sunlight is flare & tells a story'. Lol. U said it yourself. Those are true definition of 'artificial' images. With our own eyes, u wouldnt see the overexpose background, means that wider dynamic range on other camera are more natural. And again, u might wanna skip to 8:00 on your video link, the reviewer says it again, P30 Pro camera are more capable & better. End of story.

                                  Refer the link, for example, It claim the foreground object looking great and slightly background overexposure, does it a bad photo? A photography should be all follow the mainstream/gimmick? For me this is the best photo, it telling us the sunlight is flare and "story".
