I do hate to feed the monkey but check out this on GSMarena. Z3C vs iPhone 6 vs GS5 scaled down to 8mp for fairness to the iPhone but check out the detail on the roof in the picture with the boat. The Z3C clearly has more detail (although more noise) than both especially when compared to the iPhone 6.

^The iP6 can't compete with sharpness, both the Z3C and the S5 are sharper. Some parts the Z3C, some the S5. Color reproduction, though, both iP6 and the Z3C are spot on while the S5 is again oversaturated.

i've been examining several samples from the z3 and z3c. it seems the z3c camera is not similar to the z3's. it's usually noisier and blurry. that's what i've been noticing in almost all samples posted online.
but i think something unusual is happening with gsmarena's photo comparison tool.
look:
the z3 suddenly has the sharpest and most pleasant photo samples.

OK,got a minty one I was expecting to open the box & smell fresh mint
Anyway got it this morning from Carphone store & had a bad time
They don't like selling new phones to market sim free on limited stock. Two stores said no & I became annoyed. Went to another store in another part of Birmingham where I know someone who works there & he done it fine. Pays to know someone
The first guy in the one store was arrogant and rude
The phone I have checked and tested everything & all is as it should be,works great & no camera issues this time
Please no more sarcastic comments I really just want to enjoy this phone now as I am tired of changing these handsets I only have my self to blame
Sony were always my old favourites but I always had complaints before but I can say this device is way way better than Z1,Z2
If anything goes wrong I shall be silent

Oh Bonovox....it was only a matter of time that you joined the dark side and bought a phone from the supposedly broke, loser company that is Sony. I was really tempted to get the Z3C but I can't think of an excuse to get rid of my Z1C. Took all of my latest holiday pics with it at 8MP and have put them into my holiday album and it all looks fantastic.
I'm wondering how durable or scratch resistant the front and back are because cotton wool seems to scratch the Z1C. Also, the sides are not metal but plastic which looks almost transparent from certain angles. What are your views?

I have one like this for my Z1C, does the job for me and is more portable than the dock if you need to charge it at work for example.

Well,the Z1C has the shatter proof sheets which scratch easily. I love the feel and it's looks very well built & those plastic sides are nothing to worry about I would be more worried if they were aluminium as that can scuff easier. Screen is excellent & what I do love is it is great outdoors in sunlight. The front and back glass feels smooth to the touch for once it seems Sony has finally used some sort of fingerprint repellent. Performance is snappy although I am not wowed by the stereo speakers but still they are better than a mono one. They don't have any bass to speak of compared to the HTC One M8 which actually has some bass to those Boom Sound speakers. I did have an M8. The speakers go loud and clear but a little tinny. Things I hate are the fiddly sim slot & I worry about those flaps which is why I want the dock. Call clarity is fine as is signal but battery too early to say but it hasn't dropped rapidly whilst setting up. Camera is fine slightly blurry around edges but nothing major that most phones don't suffer from. Not nearly as bad as the Z2 I had before. I like it alot am looking forward to having a good play tonight. Phone gets a little warm but not hot
I shall upload photos of my minty Sony later
