camera comparison (z2 vs s5 vs m8)
he has a very bright z2 display. i wish all z2s had that display. i just find it stupid that he had to magnify the shots when comparing them. it's not zooming in but actually magnifying to make everything have the same size as the s5 photos. he should have used the 20 MP manual mode in sony if that was his intention. naturally, lower resolution photos will look less detailed.

^There's something weird about the focus of Z2. Some parts are a bit blurry even though they are at the same distance.
S5's night shots are ugly, though.

^it's the superior auto thing. This should have been called shittier auto, as this is what it is. Sony should already realise it and introduce normal auto just like any other phone. Ever since Xperia T got the 4.3 update with the new "Superior Auto" I can't take pictures with it, always need to use the manual mode, the difference is just too drastic... |

Exactly. Leave Auto alone and you have a great great camera.

Strangely 8mpx shots don't look less detailed as 20mpx shots in manual modes on Z2.

Sorry to hear that but doesn't sony ever learn? The Z2 camera is only slightly better than the Z1 the detail and noise levels are around the same, it has better contrast and good colour but it's not much better than the Z1.
I wish sony would sort their lens/software out plus on the S and T the lens was in the middle and even on the Z it was halfway towards the middle but on Z1 and Z2 it's right in the corner why is that? It's in the wrong place.

Good test of the 4K video quality and stabilisation test of the Z2 and S5
Sony Xperia Z2 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 - 4K Video Qu…: http://youtu.be/lXf6moWyfFE
SPOILER alert - The Z2 wins every category and there is a Canon 70d used as a benchmark for colour accuracy.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

Sorry, NONE of the photos I made have this.
Try harder.
I give you one week before you sell Z2

Sorry I don't know how you can say that?
Yes I admit the Z2 is far more smoother but the S5 has more detail and is sharper and the audio sounds better too. |

Z2 > S5 in stabilisation
S5 > Z2 in quality and colours...
Bonovox can you post samples from your Z2? Would be great if they were shot in manual. I have a theory that some units have better cameras than others. |

@admad the colours in the S5 video are over saturated and the bloke who done the video even says the Z2 has the better colour accuracy when compared to the Canon 70d plus I prefer a more natural looking video but it's each to there own in that sense.

colors and contrast can be easily modified. you can easily get free tools to do it from download.com.
you can go as saturated as contrasty as you want with various post-production methods but it will be difficult to bring back real colors if you already had them tainted with over-saturation straight out of the camera.
with shaky videos ... i don't know of any quick solution although i read a news article about an advanced software some years ago that can correct shaky videos. i'm not sure if you can get it for free.
unfortunately, for z2, the field of view is reduced to give way for stabilization.
z2 is still the overall winner for me on that comparison.
i hope they can also do comparisons for the 1080p videos. nobody's going to use 4k that much.
those who have problems with their unit, please post some samples here. we've already seen a good number of samples that don't bear such problems. even the superior auto shots posted here don't have softening or blurring on the edges. they're crisp and noise-free although the higher exposure or ISO used is quite obvioius when compared to the photos taken by the s5.

Guys you are hilarious.
It's clear that Z2 has totally smooth video and S5 is shaky.
So why in this situation you compare sharpness???!!
Who cares about sharpness if the video is hard to watch.
Lack of common sense here. Of course image stabilizer takes away some detail lol.
And saying that Z2 has worse sound.... Some people are deaf here.
Z2 sound is on another level than S5.
Lol.
