In some of the shots the Z1 appears brighter, especially outdoor...this tends to hurt the details of the htc's shots if you ask me. Hard to say which is better, I feel the Z1 with the 4.3 firmware is lacking but still pretty good here.
I prefer the z1 photos, the htc camera although capable, needs more megapixels, but who needs megapixels when in the end all the photos will end up on instagram.

i was about to get disappointed with the "Z2." i thought those were shot with the z2. thankfully, they aren't. the great thing is that those sharpening artefacts have been eliminated but the random blurring are still there.
hopefully the z2 has already addressed those blurs.
i did not really expect anything amazing from the all new htc one. i was worried for sony and samsung (for the camera) because the dual-lens system demoed by corephotonics at MWC 2014 was very promising. i thought htc's camera would be like that. looks like they're sticking with the ultrapixel camera that is bound to suffer from the comparisons.

Indeed. I'm surprised by these pictures actually. I expected the Z1 to completely outperform the Htc M8. But that isn't actually the case. It's quite tough to choose a winner here and in almost all the pictures the Z1 lens softness just ruins everything. M8 doesn't have such issues and seems sharper but darker (possibly using LOW ISO?)
Nonetheless, Z1 still has the upper hand due to the much higher MP count. Whether HTC wants to admit it or not, 4MP is just not enough. You can see that in these shots very well as well, there is virtually no headroom for cropping.

I've just been messing around with the camera features and they work OK not to the extent in which HTC claim. the oblject must be facing the camera straight on or part or the object with be included in the background effect if it is at any angles and the phone did get rather hot to the point were I could'nt touch the back.

The camera features are the only reason i really want to play with the phone. I can't wait to see how the camera performs at night.

actually the all new htc one has the higher ISO in almost all of those shots. 50 for xz1 vs 120-165 on the htc one m8. i just don't know if these ISO details are correct. you can find them in the links supplied.

I have just checked and you can manually set the ISO in the HTC One M8 but you only get 200, 400, 800 or 1600 or there is an auto setting which was used in the photos I took and the same auto setting for the ISO on the Z1 but you can select a manual ISO setting which is 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 when used in 8MP manual mode.
