Today I came back from work and the I still had 75% battery!
The last time it has happened was in 2005 with my Sony Ericsson W800i
Very Happy with the phone and get lots of compliments form friends and colleagues.
I like the idea that all say that the screen is so good and wonderful colors ...

Manual mode, 8MP, Auto ISO (or adjust ISO depends on the light condition). I use that combination the most. If it's night shots you want, then you can pick the Night scene.

@ badassmam

I think I'll just add this info about resolution, as for which setting gives best results on the Z1c I guess other members can help:

Whether you use 20mp or 8mp, it will be both downsized to 2mp once you print it at the size of 6 inch x 4 inch and that's at 300ppi, typically the highest quality print for photos.

So it will come down to which processing you prefer, whether you want the 20mp or the 8mp just choose which looks best to you, (the one with better colors, contrast, details, noise usually are the same since the downsized 20mp will look very similar to the 8mp anyway), the resolution won't matter as long as it's at least 2mp for a 6x4 photo.

But if you're going to have it edited/enhanced using another software like photoshop before you print then it will be better to use the 20mp one.

for reference:

20mp = 5248 x 3936 pixels

8mp = 3264 x 2448 pixels

6x4 photo @ 300ppi (high quality) = 1800 x 1200 pixels

Thanks for the camera related responses. I suppose I should just go for 8MP in auto, it will save me SD card space I guess. The wife and I have made our holiday albums with pictures from my Xperia P which all turned out great so I imagine the Z1C will be better.

I got myself a little magnetic adaptor to charge the phone, third party and relatively cheap from Amazon. It works but a couple of times the phone has reset itself and sometimes I get the waterproofing message as the device thinks that the flaps are open. The magnet itself isn't too strong but it does the job.

Other than that everything else is fantastic. Battery is fantastic, I get 3 days in stamina mode. No heat issues after gaming, no lag but the UI is looking outdated. Looking forward to getting the updates and Sirius UI, hope it will be sooner rather than later. I got a cheap transparent hard case so I can show off the lovely yellowness to the world.

Someone over at xda developers posted screen comparison photos of Z, Z1 and Z1 Compact.
It's pretty interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50378111

The following photo basically shows how different Z1's white is compared to the other two - I actually like that one the best.


But overall, I think it's pretty clear that Z1 Compact has got the best display.
