1020 get my vote... even more so when you take into the fact you can take RAW photos with it.. so any colour or white balance issues can be fixed easily and professionally.
Thank you for your encouragement! I am getting some review units here and there but still my channel is small. Share and tell everyone about my channel! Thank you for supporting and watching
Danny Winget So a 2 megapixel camera can take photos just as good as a 41 megapixel camera if you have the right resolution. I'm learning more and more from you :)
Ha you are just being an asshole lol. You know what I mean. Why does an iPhone 6 Plus with an 8 MP camera take better photos than a Nexus 6 with twice the resolution? It's about Optics, post processing etc. It's not always about the Megapixels. They don't mean much after you pass as certain point. That's why that 41MP Lumia is no longer around.
Danny Winget So the xperia z1 won the war, asshole? Is that what you are saying? Xperia is still around and lumia is not? So lumia sucks? I know, u didnt say that. u didnt actually said anything at all, you just tried to take some random pictures with absolutely no background in photography and you think you compared them right. Here's the real comparison: lumia's pictures are all oversaturated and the contrast is way too high. The z1 sensor is shi t, the lens are obstructed by a plastic cover that makes it look "more natural". Remove the battery cover of the z1 and it will look "better". Your next video should only contain pictures, videos and music. No words. You have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Asshole,
Yes I corrected that on the annotation. I never said it didn't have White Balance. I mistakenly said it does not have ISO changes which it does in the settings menu. It does not have Manual Focus it just has different focus modes. Thank you for your input
Yip, but there are couple things Microsoft has to fix em: 1. Color saturation and contrast adjustment (crazy oversaturated) 2. User presets (I hate setting up same things each start) 3. 5mpx, 8mpx, 12mpx, 18mpx jpgs! + quality range 4. Ability to watch pictures in 5mpx OR full res 34mpx in gallery 5. Keeping exposure in focus point when holding button and moving around 6. Starting time, its longer than old N8! ... if they upgrade it next update, this phone gonna kill even some older DSLR :) Besides... it seems optical stabilization works only in photo mode when holding the shoot button, its not working in the video mode, thats my opinion. Thanks for test! Regards
I edited this in an annotation. There is an ISO change but buried in the settings. It should be all in one place. There are focus point changes but not manual focus. No shutter speed changes etc. I am sorry for this overlook and changed it in the annotation. Thank you
guys,the pics in which z1 in not focused proerly are the pics which lumia 1020 looked better, to check them just check the pic before the iphone 5 s,z1 is focused to the pillar at the stair case,while the lumia is in macro,and even the bench at the park
AMAZING job. Very balanced & fair comparison. By far the best camera comparison I've seen of any mobile phone vs. Nice tunes too. You've earned a subscriber.
I still can't get over how great your videos look man, I know reviewers who been doing this way longer and still can't make reviews this good, you should be getting there review units of stuff
***** shots from lumia are oversaturated and colors have too much contrast. it might be appealing to most people because of the color tone however because of that, it makes the image not realistic.. take a shot and compare it to the real thing and you'll know
I think i say i leke more The Z1 because i'm an Xperia Fan But i think Xperia Z1 is better because is more realistic pictures and videos, and can be underwater too that make more sweet the phone*O* i give a pon Xperia Z1 ♥
I'm with u too, I own a xperia Z1, simply its not comparable with any phone its just perfect I compared it by myself with any phone I face, and sure I always win.
btw lg g2 has Sony camera sensor.... so how lg g2 camera is better than z1's camera??? (it is not for sure) and now all mobiles even samsung use sony camera sensors cause sony have better camera's in low cost... only nokia use her own camera sensors now
Z1 makes more realistic picture and more convenient to use for people that doesn't really know anything about white balances, saturation, etc.. It comes handy.. MORE REALISTIC, SONY XPERIA Z1 FTW!
people who really doesnt care about color accuracy should enjoy using the lumia. it captures sharper images specially videos, Vivid photos, and performs better on lowlight. OIS is also perfect for videos and lowlight photography. Software stabilization on the xperia looks gross too. sorry. Overall, the Lumia really outperformed the xperia in so many ways. :)
The Nokia Lumia 1020 DOES NOT have a 41MP Camera like you all think, it has a 41MP Sensor. This is a big difference and alot of people are getting confused by this. If you want to take professional pictures you are better of with the Z1 for quality imaging
You really have no idea what you're talking about. What do you think determines the quality of the Camera if it's not the sensor? On top of the wrong crap you're saying, there is more to do behind photo results than just the sensor size. The image processing software makes a HUGE difference. For example, there are many phones out there that use Sony lenses but many of them have better image output than Sony phones due to the algorithm used in the respective phones.
What do you mean by Natural :P what our eyes can see because some animals see more colour then us... 1020 has more colour data to play with.. the z1 has less colour data which Is bad if your trying to get a professional image.. its like trying to turn the colours up in a black and white image you can't because the data is not there
Even a entry level DSLR will give you better shots. I think pro photographers are interested in the Lumia 1020 as their quick back up. It does take amazing pictures for a phone but the price of the Lumia Unlocked you can buy a great DSLR.
Gosh… can't they make a phone with 41MP and all of the camera features of the Lumia with the looks of the Xperia Z1? I wanna buy the Lumia but I prefer android software..
are not at different angles is not because the lumia have this business leaving behind the camera more forward (if I missed it because I am Brazilian and not speak English right: P)
Bruno de Freitas different angles does affect the picture look! because different angles means different light/background and bla bla bla....specially in comparision of 2 cameras the pictures must be taken from the same angle!!!!!
but this difference of light you said can be sometimes because they eventually have beaten the two photos at different times or so just because the Z1 have less contrast than the lumia, sorry if I did something you wrote, as already said by the fact me being a Brazilian, I do not quite understand the English
Bruno de Freitas LOL i understand that you are not good at English i am not an american nor British not even from a country that speaks English! but he said that he was having both phones at the same time and it is the reviewer fault for not having much experience in photography
This an amazing review, thank you for taking the time to do it, I got the Sony z1 because windows os was a deal breaker and the lack of apps on windows, hope Nokia will release lumia 1020 with android
Excellent review !!! Probably the best comparison video out on youtube. I think the shots from the Lumia is what most people prefer, bright and colorful ! Yes, the Z1 color reproduction in sunlight is more accurate. But most people would increase the contrast levels to make the picture pop during post production. So in that case, the Lumia gives the best looking pictures. Amazing review and would have been great if you could have compared the pics with flash.
Superb unbiased review.SONY Z1 natural colors and gets the WB right in majority of shots. I am a ex 1020 owner which never ever pleased me as my previous 808.
This is done by someone who was adjusting iso on the lumia to produce less noisy images in lowlight but didn't do so on Z1 because he didn't know they existed lol. Poor effort here Danny.
I love your format and analysis, thank you for all the time and effort. I feel like I know more about the Z1's camera after watching this than all the reviews and videos I've seen before. Hopefully you can do something similar with the Nexus 5 (vs the Z1) when it comes out, as that is the decision I will probably be making soon.
Nope the Nokia 808 is, largest phone sensor, its half the size of a Micro Four Third which is quarter the size of a 35mm full frame sensor. Bigger sensor = better images (most of the time)
anto jose What are you speaking about? Try to see this one: connect.dpreview.com/post/8720896323/pureview-compared-nokia-808-lumia1020-studio-test-scene 808 VS 1020, look the corners and let me know which one is better. ;)
HI FRIENDS!!! GO HERE--> facebook.com/1517160868604660/photos/a.1517166945270719.1073741828.1517160868604660/1519356818385065/?type=3&pidid=081e9316-8e6d-4681-91f2-a23bbc841223 FOR THE Pixel Gun 3D CHEAT THAT WORKS! IM USING IT :) 41MP Nokia Lumia 1020 vs 20.7MP Sony Xperia Z1 (With Images and Video Comparison)
you can't really change the white balance after the shot but what you can do is use the 'auto correct' feature that easily accessible in the photo menu. from my experience, it does works most of the time.
The update comes with great improvements for the camera for Z1 and I think they are doing a great job .... and both of the cameras are awesome and considered the best on the market
This video has convinced me, plus some discussions with colleagues who also have Lumias. I'm buying one this week, if I can get one in black. I didn't want to buy into "the Apple environment", but I was open to getting an Android-based phone if the camera was as good as the 1020. The best camera, as many pro photographers will tell you, is the one that you're carrying when you see something really good. Most of us don't carry a DSLR around, so the 1020 is a really nice option. I'm looking forward to trying it out at gigs etc.
Great comparison. I bought a white 1020 and coming from Symbian it's a nice change... Couple of weird restrictions from Microsoft but overall very nice phone. I wish Nokia made a software update for the camera so you could change the color saturation level like in the 808 Pureview. I prefer more natural colors, details are great though. The sound quality was so much ahead in the 1020 too.
Finally i found a fair and the best comparaison , you did a really great job, my opinion is : in photos quality i think the z1 is the winner because its more natural and real , the 1020 has more color looks unnatural, in video quality the lumia is much better thanks to the awsomr stabilisater which is look terrible in z1, but z1 video still looks sharp and awsome too , thanks again for the incredible review
Great job, Genuine comparison. I know that Samsung pays ppl to post negative about others (specially Apl n sony) hence hard to see this kind of genuine review :)
Good comparison for the two big camera based contenders. The 1020 does oversaturate, but I wonder if it's done on purpose to pull as much dynamic range through the color spectrum as possible for a comprehensive sense of depth and layering. I know this can be a shortcoming of some cameras where you get a good white to black spectrum but end up with poor spectrum of some colors. It might be worth looking at in post processing if it is simply stretching color dynamic ranges.
@17:19 Can't agree about 1020 is better because we can clearly see that Z1 set focus on farther place (few meters) and that's why details on wood are so blurry
Amazing review, makes me want even more to buy a 1020; still i would have wanted to see photos taken in total dark, 90% darkness and photos and video taken of other screens like tv or other phone screens. Nice review, i'm suscribing :).
As a photographer the white balance adjustments on the Lumia were horrible, but the Z1 wasn't better, just closer. The Z1 tended towards warmer images while the Lumia trended towards cooler. The Lumia and Z1 are over sampling the images down from 20 and 41MP respectively. This is why there is so many saturation and sharpening effects.
Great review! Overall I liked the shots with the 1020 better. I only wish you had addressed how well these cameras do with motion, especially in low light.
Lumia has more sharpness, xperia has little less sharpness but real colour..... Plus the Z1 is also much better phone to me, and water resistant... so i dont see much diference in pixels here....
i am a xperia z1 user. after i saw this video i can say that both of the camera have their own purpose, Nokia take the pictures with over saturated settings which looks good on ur screen but it is not natural while the sony is always focusing on the natural colors.. both of them have are capable to take good detailed pictures... but yes nokia does really do the job for the manual mode while the sony have a less then limited setting in manual mode.
Because they're both flagship phones. Where their major selling point is supposed to be the camera. Supposedly the best of both eco-systems. This is the most appropriate comparison of them all.
1020 get my vote... even more so when you take into the fact you can take RAW photos with it.. so any colour or white balance issues can be fixed easily and professionally.
indeed :P I love having all the data to play with
but cant take pictures underwater :). And he didn't show the video quality I'm sure Sony Z2 would win on video.
My bad he did :D. Lumia wins
Kashkuda Kashiri underwater photo is a pro, but my Z1 is water damaged. try to google Z1 water damaged n you will know, sorry for my bad english.
Nokia 808 says hello
Thank you for your encouragement! I am getting some review units here and there but still my channel is small. Share and tell everyone about my channel! Thank you for supporting and watching
So you just compared a 20.7 mpx camera with a 41mpx camera and came to the conclusion that the 41mpx camera is better :) You are a genius! :)
Megapixels don't mean much. It takes higher resolution pictures but doesn't mean the images are better necessarily.
Danny Winget So a 2 megapixel camera can take photos just as good as a 41 megapixel camera if you have the right resolution. I'm learning more and more from you :)
Ha you are just being an asshole lol. You know what I mean. Why does an iPhone 6 Plus with an 8 MP camera take better photos than a Nexus 6 with twice the resolution?

Seriously? He is only reviewing the fucking phones. Why are you so mad?
Yes I corrected that on the annotation. I never said it didn't have White Balance. I mistakenly said it does not have ISO changes which it does in the settings menu. It does not have Manual Focus it just has different focus modes. Thank you for your input
when talking about phone camera, Nokia is the king
agree
Yip, but there are couple things Microsoft has to fix em:
1. Color saturation and contrast adjustment (crazy oversaturated)
2. User presets (I hate setting up same things each start)
3. 5mpx, 8mpx, 12mpx, 18mpx jpgs! + quality range
4. Ability to watch pictures in 5mpx OR full res 34mpx in gallery
5. Keeping exposure in focus point when holding button and moving around
6. Starting time, its longer than old N8!
... if they upgrade it next update, this phone gonna kill even some older DSLR :)
Besides... it seems optical stabilization works only in photo mode when holding the shoot button, its not working in the video mode, thats my opinion.
Thanks for test! Regards
Agree
ya ,,,I too agree..
yeah got lumia 1020 got nice pics..
I edited this in an annotation. There is an ISO change but buried in the settings. It should be all in one place. There are focus point changes but not manual focus. No shutter speed changes etc. I am sorry for this overlook and changed it in the annotation. Thank you
Z1 has natural color . i like it
Nice job dude! Those are two beastly cameras!
guys,the pics in which z1 in not focused proerly are the pics which lumia 1020 looked better, to check them just check the pic before the iphone 5 s,z1 is focused to the pillar at the stair case,while the lumia is in macro,and even the bench at the park
Yes I changed it in the annotation. Thank you!
1020:a bit better on this device
z1:you can take pictures underwater
its a tie!!!
AMAZING job. Very balanced & fair comparison. By far the best camera comparison I've seen of any mobile phone vs. Nice tunes too. You've earned a subscriber.
Z1!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SONY!!!!!!
I still can't get over how great your videos look man, I know reviewers who been doing this way longer and still can't make reviews this good, you should be getting there review units of stuff
Xperia Z1 > Lumia 1020
Yes it does without the camera grip if you take a lot of pics the battery drains quickly!
even the review said the Xperia Z1 is more natural(10:24 to 10:46) and better, but i like 1020 color better for some reason.
because the 1020 has more colour data :) (what you like to call natural colour is just loss of data from our eyes :)
***** wow so they fixed it?
***** shots from lumia are oversaturated and colors have too much contrast. it might be appealing to most people because of the color tone however because of that, it makes the image not realistic.. take a shot and compare it to the real thing and you'll know
nexus2077 cough Lumia studio cough or photoshop, again it has more colour data even more on the raw image
***** if photoshop is included then you can add also colors in any pictures..
Best head-to-head comparison vid on smartphone cameras !!!!
Unbiased, pure facts, no drivel and comes down to the nitty-gritty.
Thanks for sharing.
I think i say i leke more The Z1 because i'm an Xperia Fan But i think Xperia Z1 is better because is more realistic pictures and videos, and can be underwater too that make more sweet the phone*O* i give a pon Xperia Z1 ♥
Yeah I did forget the flash. Realized that after the fact. The video is already long as it is lol. Thanks for watching!
Will i own z1
And used to own note 2 before i get it
And no way to compare the note 2 to z1
Z1 camera is just great! ;)
im with you bro. i have a note 2 ! and i want to change to Z1! i love the water proof and the camera by the sony
I'm with u too, I own a xperia Z1, simply its not comparable with any phone its just perfect I compared it by myself with any phone I face, and sure I always win.
i'm going to buy the Z2 NOW :) Samer Alkayyali ***** elsa3dany1 incredible phone!!!!
i own a z1 and lg g2 fucks its camera hard..planning to change to lg pro 2 or g3
btw lg g2 has Sony camera sensor.... so how lg g2 camera is better than z1's camera??? (it is not for sure) and now all mobiles even samsung use sony camera sensors cause sony have better camera's in low cost... only nokia use her own camera sensors now
Man this was an awe inspiring review! Excellent job!
comparing 41MP camera with 20.7MP camera?...its obvious, Lumia will give the best.
Super......
I have my Lumia 1020 for a week now and I hv to say that I absolutely love the camera, really impressive. Two thumbs to Danny for this great review.
Z1 makes more realistic picture and more convenient to use for people that doesn't really know anything about white balances, saturation, etc.. It comes handy.. MORE REALISTIC, SONY XPERIA Z1 FTW!
what you mean to say is the 1020 has more colour data :) where the Z1 has less colour data do you understand :)
***** im not requiring you to understand my own understanding.. So whatever that be, keep it yourself! Haha. :D
***** they dont mind it okay hahha they didn't care but ilove nokia technically
people who really doesnt care about color accuracy should enjoy using the lumia. it captures sharper images specially videos, Vivid photos, and performs better on lowlight. OIS is also perfect for videos and lowlight photography. Software stabilization on the xperia looks gross too. sorry. Overall, the Lumia really outperformed the xperia in so many ways. :)
Probably the best review I've seen so far, thank you very much.

For example, there are many phones out there that use Sony lenses but many of them have better image output than Sony phones due to the algorithm used in the respective phones.
so this is why the Lumia 1020 won each and every comparison review against the Xperia Z1 so far. Yeah, makes perfect sense
discordo.. Lumia the best
dude, the main component of a camera is the image sensor.
Mobilegeeks.de yeah i agree!
I don't have the QX100. Maybe if I get it then I will consider doing this. My S4 Zoom vs Lumia video shows the Zoom comparison
I think the pictures look a bit sharper with the Lumia but the colours are more natural on the Xperia
What do you mean by Natural :P what our eyes can see because some animals see more colour then us... 1020 has more colour data to play with.. the z1 has less colour data which Is bad if your trying to get a professional image.. its like trying to turn the colours up in a black and white image you can't because the data is not there
***** ur right nokia colors are great!
The best camera comparison video I have ever seen on the tube. To the point and no fanboyism.
Just hope if start giveaways :P .
If you use the Nokia Refocus for Macro. It will deal so much better
Even a entry level DSLR will give you better shots. I think pro photographers are interested in the Lumia 1020 as their quick back up. It does take amazing pictures for a phone but the price of the Lumia Unlocked you can buy a great DSLR.
Gosh… can't they make a phone with 41MP and all of the camera features of the Lumia with the looks of the Xperia Z1?
I wanna buy the Lumia but I prefer android software..
Yes lori you're so cute and true
The best comparison video for lumia 1020 ever...Great job!
the pictures must be taken from the same angle.... in most pics angles are different!!!!!
are not at different angles is not because the lumia have this business leaving behind the camera more forward (if I missed it because I am Brazilian and not speak English right: P)
Bruno de Freitas different angles does affect the picture look! because different angles means different light/background and bla bla bla....specially in comparision of 2 cameras the pictures must be taken from the same angle!!!!!
but this difference of light you said can be sometimes because they eventually have beaten the two photos at different times or so just because the Z1 have less contrast than the lumia, sorry if I did something you wrote, as already said by the fact me being a Brazilian, I do not quite understand the English
Bruno de Freitas LOL i understand that you are not good at English i am not an american nor British not even from a country that speaks English! but he said that he was having both phones at the same time and it is the reviewer fault for not having much experience in photography
eu estou usando o google tradutor jogue toda a culpa em cima dele
This an amazing review, thank you for taking the time to do it, I got the Sony z1 because windows os was a deal breaker and the lack of apps on windows, hope Nokia will release lumia 1020 with android
lumia WIN
The design of the Nokia is superb! this is my christmas present to myself :D
plus awesome review,great job!
Nokia may have the better camera with fake colours but the Z1 beats it by a long run on OS
do you really think that the Z looks better than the metal frame Z1? It has a better feeling in the hand I think it is improved.
Definitely lumia 1020!
Excellent comparison. Really appreciated this video. Great job Danny.
Now make a underwater picture
then see whos better
The most unbiased phone comparison I have ever seen. This guy is good at reviews
both are great device in my opinian, but i prefer 1020 :D
Excellent review !!! Probably the best comparison video out on youtube. I think the shots from the Lumia is what most people prefer, bright and colorful ! Yes, the Z1 color reproduction in sunlight is more accurate. But most people would increase the contrast levels to make the picture pop during post production. So in that case, the Lumia gives the best looking pictures. Amazing review and would have been great if you could have compared the pics with flash.
The Nokia 1020 gets my vote.
I will be working on that this weekend!
Nokia 1020 is best camera
2 best phones on the market! This is one of the best reviews/comparisons on youtube! Music is also nice!
Nokia Lumia 1020 Is the Winner! Z1 the losers
But now is Sony better in the night you will know 41mp is useless in future Sony will provide 48MP camera low light better than lumia
Superb unbiased review.SONY Z1 natural colors and gets the WB right in majority of shots. I am a ex 1020 owner which never ever pleased me as my previous 808.
If The 1012 had Android i would totally get it
Thank you for watching!
LUMIA WINN
your camera review are really detailed love your videos dont stop making them :)
This is done by someone who was adjusting iso on the lumia to produce less noisy images in lowlight but didn't do so on Z1 because he didn't know they existed lol. Poor effort here Danny.
Agree man.
+tony okoro
AGREED SONYS G LENS IS BETTER THAN carl zeiss lenses and of course the phone is also better
Very good comparison! I'm loving the music, it's really relaxing.
If you got eyes you can see the lumia far better if not then get a glasses..:)
Frikn most of sony phones have shit cameras and even shittier post processing.... FOR SHAME
and If you got a brain you will buy the Z1 if not then plant a brain haha
BlacK DusK I have a Z1 and that's why I'm saying that it's camera just sucks(well maybe the fast capture feature is nice). Brainless one.
BlacK DusK Well I bet you didn't have a real life quality comparison now did you? Oh and I too can +1 my comments dipshit
BlacK DusK Kisses for your mom lil boy..
I love your format and analysis, thank you for all the time and effort. I feel like I know more about the Z1's camera after watching this than all the reviews and videos I've seen before.
Hopefully you can do something similar with the Nexus 5 (vs the Z1) when it comes out, as that is the decision I will probably be making soon.
Sony must put an software update to the Z1's camera.
this is the best review i have ever seen ... seriously u r awesome ..
regards from Egypt ;)
nokia isnthe king of phone's camera
Nope the Nokia 808 is, largest phone sensor, its half the size of a Micro Four Third which is quarter the size of a 35mm full frame sensor.
Bigger sensor = better images (most of the time)

comparing a 20.7 MP to a 41 MP??? even a preschooler can tell the difference
Thank you! Camera isn't big deal for me and i love how htc looks :) gonna get it this week
you uploader makes a little bit more zoom in z1 pics then comare and say 1020 is better detail !! wtf
The update comes with great improvements for the camera for Z1 and I think they are doing a great job .... and both of the cameras are awesome and considered the best on the market
Nokia :D

Damn good review, unbiased & just enough info, without getting boring

Xperia z1 takes up more natural colors but lumia makes even a bad image look good
Nokia rocked dis time...
Thank you!
Good comparison for the two big camera based contenders.
The 1020 does oversaturate, but I wonder if it's done on purpose to pull as much dynamic range through the color spectrum as possible for a comprehensive sense of depth and layering.
I know this can be a shortcoming of some cameras where you get a good white to black spectrum but end up with poor spectrum of some colors. It might be worth looking at in post processing if it is simply stretching color dynamic ranges.
Perfect comparison review ever !! Thumbs up , Danny ! :)
Z1 just got an update with a lot of improvements to the camera! Would be interesting to see a comparison how it performs.
@17:19
Can't agree about 1020 is better because we can clearly see that Z1 set focus on farther place (few meters) and that's why details on wood are so blurry
Amazing review, makes me want even more to buy a 1020; still i would have wanted to see photos taken in total dark, 90% darkness and photos and video taken of other screens like tv or other phone screens. Nice review, i'm suscribing :).
Thank you Sir!
Sorry for all the "ands"
17:18 -> The Z1 is for some reason focusing on the rockshaft behind, putting the Bokeh effect in front.
As a photographer the white balance adjustments on the Lumia were horrible, but the Z1 wasn't better, just closer. The Z1 tended towards warmer images while the Lumia trended towards cooler. The Lumia and Z1 are over sampling the images down from 20 and 41MP respectively. This is why there is so many saturation and sharpening effects.
Great review! Overall I liked the shots with the 1020 better. I only wish you had addressed how well these cameras do with motion, especially in low light.
Obviously the Lumia has the best camera but the Z1 is a better smarthphone (Nice video by the way!)
Lumia has more sharpness, xperia has little less sharpness but real colour..... Plus the Z1 is also much better phone to me, and water resistant... so i dont see much diference in pixels here....
Ten. Twenty.
You are GREAT at comparison :) !!!
Thank you for such a detailed review.
i am a xperia z1 user. after i saw this video i can say that both of the camera have their own purpose, Nokia take the pictures with over saturated settings which looks good on ur screen but it is not natural while the sony is always focusing on the natural colors..
both of them have are capable to take good detailed pictures...
but yes nokia does really do the job for the manual mode while the sony have a less then limited setting in manual mode.
Awesome video with great photos, subscribed! Thanks.
I'm sorry but you comment at 17:18 is wrong, clearly the Z1 is focused on the column.
You can change manual focus on the z1 you need to go to the options its there.
Just the review I was looking for. Nice work. Can you do a review of the Note 3 camera next? Maybe against the Z1
Because they're both flagship phones. Where their major selling point is supposed to be the camera. Supposedly the best of both eco-systems. This is the most appropriate comparison of them all.
