the ultra does not have that problem. we were so proud about that xz ultra comparison against the htc one but looks like we're going back to the way things were before. that's really an unacceptable washing out. it's a very slight angle.

A guy in a swedish forum with insider information also menrioned not to have too high hopes with camera initially. It was also mentioned something regarding legal issues with the algorithm.

Yep. The camera will see a big jump in quality in the near future with the final camera firmware. 
Can anyone shed some light on this "legal issue"? Is Sony somehow obliged not to use better algorithm until xx date (due to some agreements perhaps)? And when can we expect BIONZ full potential implemented?
Cheers,
Miki

I do not know the exact details but it has something to do with Google. Sony had to rewrite the Android Camera code from scratch for the Z1 final camera firmware. So probably a legal issue with Google is what caused the delay.

Was ZU's display was already vibrant when it first came out? Or an update on X-Engine pumped it up? |

Z1 has been priced today in Croatia - 800€ with VAT included. Kinda a lot but I'll be getting it for half of that due to my contract with T mobile. |

Really?  hopefully this doesn't slow down the updates on the Z1. |

I just used this phone again in the showroom. I've been waiting a few months for the z1 but please tell me that I'm a novice at this because I feel a little disappointed in what I saw. I tried again, both 20mp and 8mp with various lowest setting of iso along with 1080 recording. On all the pics without flash in the show room I still notice significant noise and lack of sharpness when a full wide angle pic is taken and then zoomed in on the display (stating from half zoom to full). Is this normal for these camera phones? Am I being to picky about what to expect from a mobile phone? I then tried video and I notice there is some white noise on the video when there is darker subjects (freezing the frame gave proof). Also the full wide angle seemed a little pixelated (noticable pixelated at 3x zoom). Again, I'm not knowledgeable of these camera but I'm hoping this is just isolated to this display phone. I do got to say that a macro video shot of a red water bottle cap came out with quite less noise and seemed to lack the diagnoal jagged edge pixelation. That was actualy quite good.

How can anybody discuss your theoreical assumptions?
Without any sample...
Secondly, each camera can take a good or bad photo.
Camera isn't doing it all by itself, it still needs you to help, right?!
It's you who capture it so you know, the more difficult light more knowledge it needs.
Lol.
