Xperia Z2 takes even better photos with this camera mod
The camera mod improves the image quality as well as video recording from the back and the front cameras. The most notable feature of this mod though is the ability to take pictures in 20MP (4:3) and 15MP (16:9) resolution whilst using the Super Auto mode, which is limited to 8MP by default from Sony.
would anyone bother trying?

those samples are not in full res, hard to tell. Plus you can take 20MP auto photo with the google camera app anyway. Its focus seems to work faster too.

Does Sony is going to improve the stability of the camera (overheating)?
@janne_145, what have you done with your Xperia Z2?

So people here were bashing GSMArena and claiming DXOMark knows much better than GSMArena when they rated Z2 as best mobile camera.
Now the S5 review is in and it now ranks at No.1
http://www.dxomark.com/Mobile[....]der-in-DxOMark-Mobile-rankings
In photos Z2 scores 81 whereas S5 scores 80. In videos S5 scores 79 and Z2 73.
Combined average of photos and videos
S5 - 79.5
Z2 - 77

Lol i still believe dxomark! And look at scores in the pic above. It's 79 for both.
Most interesting part is that Z2 is still ahead of s5 in still photography!!!
Now gsmarena can suck it's own comparison !

argument invalid.
dxomark ranks the z2 camera marginally higher (still higher) than s5. 81 vs 80.
also, they don't do final scores in the way you arrived at your average rating. still photography has more weight for them.
if there were any here who assailed gsmarena's comparisons, it was on the still imaging capabilities so your argument does not make sense since dxomark still ranks z2 higher when it comes to still photography.

if dxomark has those grades for the s5 camera, there should be no reason for the note 4 to use a sony sensor (as rumored). looks like samsung's own sensor is just as good as sony's. they can now compete against sony in the mobile camera sensors market.

All the previous Samsung flagships have been beating Sony in camera department. This is the 1st time when they stand equal to Sony's ! This obviously proves that samsung's own made sensor is a Step Backwards .
That's why they going for Sony made in note 4. And note 4 in my opinion will beat Sony's z2/z3 by a huge margin in cam.
Sony sensors are still miles better than any Samsung out there.
Problem lies with optics and software processing.

No, it's not a step backward, considering this is Samsungs 1st go at a mobile sensor and the fact that it is a SMALLER sensor, this is incredible, they have equalled Sony, the King of sensors at their 1st go, that is an embarrassment to Sony and a huge win for Samsung in many ways as it shows they are just as capable if not more, their smaller sensor has managed to keep up with Sony's much larger one, now I hope Samsung will drop Sony when it comes to the sensors in their flagships, as in terms of margins it makes better sense to just use their own in-house sensor, I hope the Note 4 comes with a 16MP ISOCELL with OIS, that will be a huge win for Samsung.

Samsung was forced to make it's own sensor because Sony did not source it's 20mpx sensor to anyone else. Samsung had to update the megapixel numbers of it's cam as it was stuck at 13mpx from two generations.
If samsung's sensor is so good i wonder why doesn't such awesomeness show up in their dedicated camera lineup !
Just compare s5 with QX10(same 1/2.3" sensor as z2) and s5's cam will learn it's actual place.
There is a reason why Samsung decided to go with Sony sensor in Galaxy Camera 2!
There is a reason why Samsung is switching back to Sony sensor in Note 4!
And there is a reason why you aren't samsung's ceo and take decisions.
The problem with Sony xperia series is lens and software processing. Not the sensor. It's still the best !
