It's 5 second of work. It is not "blind love to Sony". All I want (Im still waiting) to you to show me that blurry and water-painted photos on my video from YT (Xperia 5II Low Light), and even you can go to link in description and there is google drive with full res photos and you can zoom 400% and show me that water-painting.

As I said before, Xperia 5 II cameras are inferior even to $50 Pixel 1. I understand your blind love to Sony devices and it's just can't be true for you but it is what it is. And it's not fun at all.
                P.S.: Perhaps you "evaluate" photos quality on the same Xperia 5 II screen. In this case I have no complaints at all - all photos look perfect on 6.1" screen, no doubts. Cheers ! :)

                    :) And then we both will go and we will find that land of blurrenes.

All I wanted to say is that bloody $950 Xperia 5 II screen hadn't good enough brightness to use outdoors so I barely saw what's going on the screen. That's not good thing when you taking pictures, isn't it? My $350 Pixel 4 screen was much brighter. That's it. So that were just too many drawbacks for one expensive phone. I can easily give you at least 10 cons against 2 - 3 pros of that Xperia phone. In other words, Xperia 5 II was just an expensive piece of junk in the nice case with Sony branding. Cheers!

But I'm sure phone you have right now is much better than anything Sony which you never had and probably never will cause it's not even officially on sale in your country or region. Just like that guy few messages above yours who would rather buy Oppo and Realme with mediatek for the same price of 10III because he also has just read or heard about Sony. He also has issues with thumb gymnastics on 21:9 but I guess on every other flagship phone released this year he doesn't have that problem despite all of them being 20:9, in other words he doesn't even have any flagship phone in his possession.

You had problem shooting outdoor? How come? I've taken so many pictures at zenith on places very close to equator and I didn't encounter this problem. Sure display is dimmer than sunlight but its perfectly legible and usable. So I don't how you came to this conclusion if you had 5II which has perfectly good brightness level unless you manually adjusted it to low brightness. I mean this is just nonsense.

I had both Pixel 4 and Xperia 5 II on my table side by side while migrating data. Clearly Xperia screen was noticeably dimmer and duller. Again, I have used Xperia 5 II for a month after Pixel 4. Shooting outdoors on Xperia was a pain. Basically the only thing I properly saw on the screen was a horizon level with green triangles in Pro app. Do something like EV adjustment was not possible.
