Camera Xperia L. The truth

Joaopedro — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:48:23 GMT

Hi Sony,

So I'm gonna be very quickly to ask you guys a question....

I bouth Xperia L because of is Powerfull camera and hdr funcion etc etc...

I bouth Xperia L because this video and is title saiyng that is the best camera ever in a smartphone.. Like sony says : Experience Sony camera expertise in a smartphone , so after this i saw this beatiful video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyH7wq1fSVs&feature=player_embedded about the camera in action, and i have to say that is very very good.... ( in the movie only )

Because in reality and after i have my own Xperial L this video is a lie...better a big Lie...

Camera takes blured pictures... If someone moves in the moment of caputre the photo is crap!!!

In presentation video hdr photos takes 1 second to finish... in reality takes 3/4 seconds.

So this phone camera is great to take photos too things that dont move.... Because if i want to take to a horse in a beach like your video..... in my photo will apeear 3 horses !!!! You know waht i mean.. blured pictures etc etc

I think many of the users that have this phone agree with me.

So do something about it.. update this... I hope this camera dont have a beta software, but i think that is the true!!

Change the camera software in 4.2 or 4.3 uptade !

In a scale to 1a 10 a give 3 to this camera... realy very disapointed !

Thanks !

Best regards

Just install cameraMX app,

Your problem would be resolved.

No more blurred pics, no more adjustment of camera setting,

Better focus

Trust me Best alternative for stock camera 🙂

You are correct the images they show on the web page are unrealistic. I can't get my phone to focus on anything over 1 /12 to 2 feet. I love everything else about the phone but the image noise and lack of focus along with the shutter lag is horrible. And the flash is worthless indoors. How can a phone not take al least a halfway decient shot indoors. I posted on another thread that my Xperia X10a took better photos and it was made about 4 or 5 years ago. I think Sony is deceptive in their advertising.

Thats my point of view too!!

I think this phone have a bad camera... Flash is too bad... Only hdr is good, but 3-4 scds to take a photo??? come on...

Hope new firmware fix this!

I just wanted to try that CameraMX aplication to see is there any diference from stock camera app and there is not but only diference is the weight of photo - stock camera photo has 2.3Mb and same photo taken with CameraMX has 1.3Mb. Interesting is that when I zoom in both photos have same noise. And YES - Sony lied about that camera in XL , photos are very bad and with poor details. Yo Sony -U can put your 8Mp in... u know where. My phone befeore XL was Samsumg I 5800 with 3.15Mp and, comparing it now, they are little better than those 8Mp's. U messed up Sony! Fix it! U got $ becouse WE had bought your phones, so hire more people to solve our and Yours problem(s). Thank YOU! Zoran from Croatia.

Hi Guys

I am also disappointed with the camera performance of our device..

To Reduce the noice in Indoor pictures dont use auto iso settings..

Just reduce Iso to 100 and take..

I had a significant improvement in doing so..

I am attaching pictures

1st taken in auto iso

2nd in iso 100'

you can see the difference..

these are the zoomed screenshots of the images

Sony ruined my day too.. When I bought this camera smartphone.
If this is best of your camera expertise then I would like to greet your experts... (With axes)
truly lie... They r over showing up their products to increase their sales..
3rd class experience..
if I wanna take pictures in HDR for low light conditions.. People's have to stay like statutes to get a snap, & they call it fast capture camera...
Do something.. :@

Money wasted, it would be better if I bought a phone for 2000 & a camera for 14000...

I made a test with procapture (full) with same object

The image took with procapture has less noise and is more focused.

But the quality is below the average of 8mpx camera

I also read some rewiev of Xperia Z1 and even here the quality isn't very good. ....

Same problem in my new Xperia L

Xperia™ L - Discover the premium HDR camera experience from Sony…

IT’S A BIG LIE

jonate — Fri, 08 Nov 2013 12:17:30 GMT

The same problem for me.even after trying different modes I couldn't avoid the noise. even in good lighting conditions photo is muddy. even older Sony mobiles and recent Nokia mobiles with only 5mp or 3.2mp looked great. it's disgusting to have this phone to be said as having 8mp camera!
if only Sony does something to mend this it's reputation will be protected. hoping so.

Camera works like a charm in Good light but worst in low light.

Of course software!
