    Missing the Lumia 930. Lumia 920 was the best of all high end phones at the time until Lumia 1020.

      I am so disappointed in you by not adding M8. Just because it has 4 MP camera doesnt mean its bad. It can shoot better than all those phones.

          i think z2's camera is better than the s5. if you based in auto mode, may be the s5 wins, but if you know how to set it manually , you will get a pleasing shots from z2

            I tried to compare z2, 5s, s5, and oppo's camera. Somehow samsung really disappointed no matter where or who holding d phone... D review here really odd where most of my friends using s5 always borrow my z2 for photoshot coz they say z2 photo outcome way too better than s5. They too said that samsung produce too much "fake color" and un-natural, so they dont like it.

              Iphone has the fastest camera and then it is the best because I can take picture and not to wory for the picture of moving target to be blured like on every other android phone. For video the same thing on iphone nice and fluid and on android like it tviches or lack of framerates.

                    I like the design and size. This will be handy and fits to my pocket. But, what I don't like is that, not a dual sim and the battery is not more than 3000mAh. As a seafarer and a traveller I need powerful battery life, fits in a pocket and a dual sim cards. 5.1" is good enough. But more than 5.5" is bulky to put in a pocket. I have samsung galaxy note 3 neo duos which I bought in Gibraltar UK. This phone works fine for me. For my notes and documents. 5.5" is the maximum. I like my note 3 neo duos because of dual sim cards. I don't need on more phone to have my roaming sim and the other for international sim & internet. For battery life it's good enough for 24 hours internet connection.

                        So, my (unbiased) conclusion after reading the article is:
                        All shots taken seems pretty good, and they are ties when reviewed with NO ZOOM at all. Pics are still ties at 2x or 3x zoom.
                        When reviewed at MAXIMUM zoom, pics shows only a "slightly" difference between each other, so the're "almost" ties at this conditions.
                        IMHO, all devices are pretty nice since I'm not gonna took pics and spend my time viewing one by one at maximum zoom.
                        Nice low-light pics and good colors are much more important for me than the look at those pics at maximum zoom.

                          why didn't you compare selfless and video calling on each of these phones? These are the days where front camera is equally important. Please start reviewing them too. start covering them in full reviews too.

                            I own a Find 7, and I can honestly say that the low-light photography is GREAT with the slower shutter speeds.

                            It's a must when taking cityscapes or of the night sky. No other phone (dare I say the Lumia 1020) is capable of capturing the same quality photos of stars as the Find 7 (when accompanied with slow shutter speeds and some type of stabilizing mount).

                                        It is odd that you did not tested the new Samsung Galaxy K zoom, When you are comparing the cameras it is must to compare it as well as the ultimate cameraphone as I see it.
