Struggling to find threads where a lot of users say the camera (stills, not video) isn't good. Any chance you could help?

You have apparently missed the part where there is a guy posting Pictures with very good image quality.
I don't know why we are having this discsussion even.
The image quality of the Z2's photos is top class and numerous sites have stated that already.

Wait LOL... Try harder... I arrived to the fourth page and find just 3 thread with people moaning about Z2...
A thread for the 4K overheating issue (which, BTW I do not give a shit)
A thread with someone who was let down by the Z2, and where nobody gived a f**k and answered him  . poor guy...
and one about the phone apparently smudging his borders in the white version, posting a link to an erica griffith video where she says that the white version actually stains easily... (again I do not care beacause I'll buy the black one...)
Then there are the photos of Soulreaver99 and other users...
And a poor guy who dropped a Z2 preview model and the front screen broke I feel your pain pal! |

As I stated before, th auto mode of Z2 has been improved but still has long way to go. For the munual mode, Z2 performance is TOP by all means. |

The Esato's grumpy team can't accept a Sony smartphone being good in anything.
In every Sony topic there's always the same names trying to denigrate.
Always.
Are you nervous? |

This is the first video I found when they try to use a pen with the Z2... and it works fine, as much as the Z Ultra...
I was worried for it work because the Tablet Z2 apparently can't be used with a pen... but the Z2 works fine 
another point for the Z2!

Ah I'm famous then that's cool. Erm who said I been dissing Sony since 2005?? In 2005 I had the Sony Ericsson S700i it was brilliant one of my fave ever handsets. I have actually loved many SE handsets but most Sony ones have been quite average till I guess the Z2 arrived. Oh and by the way whoever said we cannot accept that a Sony is great and can perform well has their head in cloud cookoo land. You honestly think I cannot accept it and I am almost upset about it or something? ? Then why would I buy other brands then?? And the Z1 was the biggest let down in history buggy and crap camera. Anyway I'll go eat my cat dinner now prrrrrrrr

"Dissing Xperia since 2005"
I was alive in 2005 and I don't remember Xperia, I do remember Cyber-shot, Walkman  and P-series.
Bono.
Cheers!

S5 wins.
"Noise is kept to a minimum on the GS5 and pictures are sharp all across the frame—not just in the centre. As for the colours, the white balance does its job, providing a fairly neutral image.
And what about the Xperia Z2? It should be said, the disappointing picture quality from the Xperia Z1's camera didn't exactly live up to Sony's advertising claims that using technology developed for its DSLRs would necessarily mean top quality for its smartphones. Worth noting, the Z1's lens issues popped back up on the subsequent Z1 Compact. Now the Xperia Z2 is meant to up the ante and correct these flaws, but using the same exact sensor. Sony has modified the Bionz image processor to deliver sharper, more detailed pictures than the Z1, which for itself focused primarily on light intake and gave the results one might expect (pictures with lots of light and lots of noise)".
"At the end of the day, the Z2's camera isn't much better than the Z1's. In fact, when viewed at 100% size, the pictures we took in our studio were less good than last year's model. This is due to the lens, which at a focusing distance of some 80 cm doesn't exploit its full potential, far from it, providing less sharpness, less detail, etc. When you're shooting outdoors with a longer focal distance, the pictures are more consistent, but not as much as on the Galaxy S5, whose photos are still sharper all across the frame. Photos taken on the GS5 are heavily enhanced, but they look better and are sharper, even though they're several million pixels short.
Don't forget: the Xperia Z2 only takes 20.7-Megapixel photographs when you're in Manual mode; in Auto they're 8 Megapixels. That's another drawback compared to the GS5, which gives you the best of its abilities, or close to it, by default.
Basically, we feel the Galaxy S5 is a perfect any-circumstances camera phone, whereas the Xperia Z2 is also excellent, but only with urban or landscape photography. For "social" photography when you're trying to take a picture of several people standing at close distance, or, really, any subjects less than three metres away, the Z2's picture quality simply collapses in on itself (the only exception being portraits, which it's good at)".
"The Xperia Z2 is also a step up from its predecessor in low lighting, providing more detail and overall more flattering picture quality. It comes closer to the One (M8)'s performance, just with more red (the One M8 takes colder shots, while the GS5 stays neutral). After testing both phones' cameras inside-out, we can confirm that the Z2 does take in more light than the GS5, even when there's a fair amount of it, resulting in greater detail in shadowy areas. Plus, the flash doesn't blow subjects out and makes for much nicer images with good colours" |
