That doesn't mean it doesn't use dragontrail. The video's on the dragontrail website show glass held between 2 clamps and it has some room to move, that's why it can bend. In a phone there is no place to bend so the shock or weight cannot be absorbed. We saw that the xperia z can survive drops which is all you need. Dropping a heavy hammer on a phone is just insane and will always lead to it being damaged. |

Xperia Z vs. HTC One for low light performance:

The HTC does gather more light, so low light shots are more pleasing. For normal light conditions though, the Xperia seems to have the upper hand |

IndianDawg, one quick advice - Do NOT rely on Superior Auto. You can get way better pics using manual mode. 
P.S. Xperia Z camera haters should die of shame for all the fake criticism
PhotographyBLOG a REAL photography site reviewed Xperia Z camera and gave it Recommended AWARD
Their verdict:
The Xperia Z brings together a lot of Sony's latest camera technologies in a premium smartphone. The intutuive touchscreen interface ensures that all those features are easy to access and deploy, aided by the device's quick responsiveness. Sure, the image quality still can't quite match even a cheap compact camera, but the gap has definitely narrowed further, especially if you mainly use the Xperia Z in good light.
There's very little to complain about the Xperia Z for general point-and-shoot users. The Intelligent Auto mode does a great job of selecting the right scene mode for you, the interface is generally slick and well-designed, while the HDR function for both stills and video quietly improves your images.
We have few real gripes with the Xperia Z - only its poor low-light performance would prevent us from using it more often for general snapshots. If you only have room in your pocket or bag for a smartphone that takes decent pictures and video, we can certainly recommend the new Sony Xperia Z.
The Sony Xperia Z produced images of good quality during the review period. This camera handled noise well, not becoming too obvious until ISO 800, with the fastest setting of ISO 1600 not really worth using, a great performance for a tiny image sensor with such a high pixel count.
Chromatic aberrations were in evidence but were well-controlled, with some limited purple fringing effects appearing in high contrast situations. The images were a little soft straight out of the camera at the default setting and require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop.

Yeah, and they gave 3,5/5 for image quality... But it looks like Z camera has potential, that is being destroyed by bad software. Some daylight pics are very good and clear, while some fare really bad. |

@Random
Actually I think that depends on the way you take pictures. I get better pictures from Superior Auto about 70% than normal mode with my Z, but I agree that there's some modes Superior Auto fail at, like macro pictures. They often look horrible when taken with Superior Auto. |

Well yes but with Manual mode (right settings) Z can do a great job. If you notice IndianDawg's samples the pics are between 1-2mb in size. With Manual Z can even produce 5-6MB shots. |

Pff Nokia 808 produces pics at around 0,5 to 3MB. MB means shit, the picture may as well be 1000MB in size, but it will be nothing if that 1000MB contains shit. JPEG compression means close to nothing if sensor is crap  |
