In my opinion, its video quality is in a league of its own in the Android sphere, with superb image stabilizer and unaparalleled metering.
Yes I know it's too early to claim such a thing as the best, but if someone can, it's Sony.

Good to see that there's no wobbling on video.

I can't believe some people are calling LG g2 a level on competition for XPERIA Z1!!!
IMO z1 wipes out the floor with g2.
1.Screen - Head on z1 would easily beat the crap out of g2 with it's really eye popping colors + really good contrast levels and more than sufficient viewing angles only with some degradation at extreme(that is still debatable, we don't know how good retail screens would be)
2. Camera - z1's camera matches 1020's performance in most cases even with this early firmware. So the 13mpx exmor r of g2 is nothing in front of z1!!!
As far as optical stabilization is concerned, nobody knows what kind of(physical or digital) z1 has! Stupid Sony never talks about many important and important features. It has SteadyShot which is doing great job judging from above video.
3. Processing power and gpu in both are same! It's a tie here !
4. As far as designs are concerned z1 wins hands down. Such a masterpiece to look at ! Blended with the most premium of materials out there it's such a beautiful device to look at. Some might bring in small bezels to site g2 a better device but the truth is that whoever cares about overall size in segment of 5" phones is an idiot! He/she should better go with phones with screen of 4.3" or 4.6". (and for those Sony is bringing in z1 mini).
Also bezelless devices only make handling of a big phone difficult with accidental presses and poor horizontal viewing experience!
So z1 wins here too !
5. Software updates - Simply no match between Sony and LG. Sony wins hands down !
6. Xperia z1 is ip55/ 58 certified with WATER PROOF AND DUST PROOF !!! G2 is zero here too !
So this is end result - Xperia Z1 is the phone to beat until march 14 when new Z2 will be unveiled !!!

I agree at the moment it looks good.
But their should be a refresh of the GS4 sooner or later.
The built quality will be Sony advantage IMO.
Sony main issue will be the iphone 5S at docomo, really a bad news for their number 1 market.
There is a serious issue that could end up like a scenario similar to panasonic and NEC.
I see a lot of japanese forums and the amount of people saying will go for iphone is 10 to 1.
And do not underestimate Fujitsu and Sharp new models.
As they will benefit from the Docomo discounts, it could be serious competition for the Z1 in Japan, on the remaining market share the iphone will not take at docomo.
It will not be an easy launch.
I will be considering between the F-01F and the SO-01F. They have almost the same specs except Fujitsu is cramming 64GB ROM inside.

After this video, I seriously hope Sony are promoting its insane image stabilization, I mean just watch that part when he walks.

Lossless zoom crap is unimpressive though

YEP. SteadyShot more than makes up for OIS

^the steady shot only applies to video though as far as the white paper is concerned.
the lossless zoom, i believe, only applies to taking still pictures and only up to 3x. beyond that, the digital zoom kicks in, which is definitely NOT lossless. in video mode, i think it only does digital zoom. there's no way that building is only 3x zoomed
all in all, every sample video i've seen has been VERY impressive. autofocus has been fast, transitions from bright to dark light has been fast, audio has been great, clarity is great, and of course the stabilization has been top notch.
i haven't seen other video samples from note 3 or G2, but i'm willing to bet Z1's video capabilities is gonna be tough to beat.

I saw a clip with G2 in action where the user walked and it wasn't bad but you clearly knew he was walking.
In the clip by Z1, it looks more like he is hovering.

@mckinley - yes.. totally! that hovering feel that you normally only get with a professional handle to minimize shake. it's very impressive.. no doubt.

it's still too early to say. we don't know how careful the guy was with his hand movements while shooting that clip. we have to see the devices tested more objectively under similar circumstances.
i really hope sony nails it this time. there was one video of the xperia z having bugs with its digital stabilizer (taken by "Blunty" on Youtube). i'm earning my way to an xperia z1. the initial sample photos have been really good.
