Got a message for Sony mobile inc. Try to improve software for image processing for your camera, a great hardware must be.back up by a great software, please consider this.

Many reviews says sony xperia xz has a great camera, and ot is impossible to take photo on complete darkness without a noise.

Every smartphone has a flaws, maybe in xz is its image processor, but look at yhe bright side, it is a software, if it is the hardware then it would be much worst like a broken lens glass I read about on a famous phone.

Nonsense, if someone wants to developed those skills via smartphone cameras and are not interested in going down the dslr route, then I would suggest an LG.
Their camera ui is miles ahead of Sony's, especially where 'manual' control is concerned.

AnonD-674518, 05 Jun 2017Its not only the camera performance, it also involve yours.True a good camera is not important as a good photographer.
But tools matter, and when it comes to mobile cameras, the XZ is hampered as a tool by its poor software.
Poke holes in what you perceive as my poor skills as a photographer by all means, it's doesn't change that fact.

ISO is buried in a separate menu, there is no kelvin adjustment for white balance, and if you alter shutter speed then ISO defaults to auto.
The reverse is also true, try setting a specific shutter speed than go and alter the ISO, watch what happens, the shutter will default to auto.
It's not manual at all, it's ISO priority & shuttter priority with 4 useless white balance presets.
Yes I've played around with this camera extensively, as camera ui's go it's cr*p.
So keep pointing the finger at me by all means, if it means you feel good to be defending your precious brand. But I know when I see poor software, and the Xperia camera ui is just that.

Another thing, I hope sony read this. One of possible reason why sony is less popular than samsung is because of sony doesnt give much effort on marketing strategies, it means that the phone is alright but they doesn't commercialize it on other media except for net. Here the sony doesn't commercialize xz on local tv.

There are areas where the Xperia camera set up is good enough, convenience is not one of them. If your going to take the time to stage a shot, then yes you can coax a great result out of an Xperia.
But that takes time, for quick impromptu shots (an area Sony liked to highlight as a particular strength in their marketing spiel) the XZ is almost completely unreliable.

I can identify with him on that score........
XZ is a great device with a massive Achilles heel.....the camera. Sony might be top dogs in terms of mobile imaging hardware, but their software (specifically the camera ui) sucks, and is leagues behind the competition.

[deleted post]Everything anyone can ever want on a smartphone is on the S7. XZ is incomplete. No wireless charging, no 2k, no OIS, no heart rate monitor, no 4GB RAM, no UFS storage, no octacore CPU, no 3000mAh battery, no beautiful user interface. What it only has is bezels, bezels and bezels.
