Those shots look great until you take a closer look at the shutter speed.
At ISO 100 and a shutter speed at almost three seconds, it's not that hard to get that clean shots.
I rather see higher ISO value with controlled noise reduction at faster shutter speed to make non-static things less smeary.
Hopefully Honami can bring great image even at ISO well above the maximum ISO rate for Pureview/1020.

I hope the L version of Honami, if it exists, is also waterproof. The Lumia 1020 is more pocket friendly and more likely to be picked over the Honami becuase of size. Sony really needs to step up their game and the L version of Honami with waterptoof and more compact design is what they need.

I wish everybody can have choice in screen size and bezel like z/zl, but for the sake of not getting disapointed, it may be good not to take this for granted (edit: not implying pevious posts authors take it for granted, more for the readers).

As per my understanding, smaller screen size Honami will come in 2014'Q1 and not at the same time as Honami.
Secondly, there is no rumor for a like for like ZL version, there is a rumor for a mysterious device that may or may not release, but if it does release nobody knows when and what the specs are. So I would not count on a ZL version of Honami now.

For 2013, only one smartphone running snapdragon 800 is confirmed at this point in time, and it is Honami.

XZU is pocket friendly as well. why would Honami, smaller than XZU, be pocket unfriendly?

@McKinley: thank you for picking this. Yep, strong HW to allow short shutter speed is everything (with AF speed) for my use case, in particular when taking pictures of small kids indoor. Try to take a pic of babies with 3 second shutter speed! Not saying Nokia effort on software is not great, but in some cases, great hardware is the only answer, sw alone cannot help.

@DexterMoser: agreed with you, honami is the clear winner...in my heart! The rumored specs are a fantastic hardware effort from Sony and the only thing that make me consider buying the phone. I am not a fan of a brand, i am objectively excited by a maker creating such an advanced technology prowess.

@XYZ: I think our point is, the current rumored specs are setting the bar above any existing phone at the best of our understanding. We expect the HW to be the rumored one, and we expect the one sony strategy to mean the SW will take full advantage of the HW, be on par with it, as the imaging group is in charge of the camera. As this is rumor, yes it is speculation, but not meaningless, it is our best understanding given our own individual knowledge or experience.
