Hm.. they also say that the GS4 has a better flash, which is impossible.

Xperia Z is an excellent smartphone with a disappointing digital camera!

Good article here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/[....]/nokia_808_pureview_revisited/
Last year Nokia released to the world a mobile phone that is still unique. It's a smartphone with a 41-megapixel camera sensor, scooping up more detail than some professional DSLRs: it's the PureView 808.
When I say "released", that’s a little misleading. This showpiece won the Best New Phone gong at last year’s Mobile World Congress, but it was hard to buy. Since the phone ran Symbian OS, it was considered toxic by carriers, and it was not distributed in the UK.
So for the past year the 808 has had a crepuscular presence. It’s lived on, in a spooky afterlife: Nokia wanted you to know about it, and prominently placed the thing on the front page of its main website – but it did not want you to actually buy it. Nokia had already transferred some 3,000 Symbian engineers to Accenture, and last February cancelled all Symbian devices on its phone road map bar the 808.
Yet, something unexpected has happened. The 808 as been quietly receiving lots of loving care and attention. Regular updates and tweaks have continued from the Other Side, including a major overhaul of the OS late last year. Every update is expected to be the last. But still they keep coming, and if anything, the pace is accelerating.
Over the past few weeks I’ve attempted to live with a PureView 808. And it’s been an interesting and surprising experience. This is the first Symbian phone I’ve used regularly in four years and it isn’t quite how I remembered Symbian.

Considering how slow the shutter and the focus systems are, these shots are indeed impressive. By slow I mean compared to a high end compact or a DSLR.
The 808 camera has 4 main issues:
1. Highlight clipping/weak DR
2. Slow shutter
3. Capricious focus system
4. Video stabilization
There is a fifth one concerning true macro shots, but .. that more of a physical limitation. The lens is too big, but it has to be because if the sensor.
Overall the 808 is a proper compact camera.. don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I am sure that they are working on improving the whole system, and there is room for improvement.

There's a workaround for widening the DR and avoiding highlight clipping.
I use to decrease contrast to -1 and decreasing also the EV a bit. It helps a lot. Try it yourself.
