We can't see the pictures, upload them to box.com and post the links

also make sure that you have the latest software as it has improved the camera, it seems that you had a similar issue with your ion

Are the pictures on manual or superior auto?

Auto mode

The Z1 has a shutter time (1/160) that is 3 times faster than the ion (1/50) for similar iso.

The ion got a better exposure and appears brighter. Also the ion uses the landscape scn mode.

The angle these photos were taken is differrent leading to different calculation by the two cameras.

If you could get the Z1 shutter speed down it might approach or do better than the ion. Thing is there is no way to do that unless you use SCN modes.

When you do a comparitive like this try to keep the angle and other conditions as close as possible.

ok i got ur point but its an updated camera superior then ion...and i tried scene modes too but result is same....and what u can say about broghtness and tureness of screen colors, ion is far batter screen then my z1, ion is having 300 plus ppi and z1 has 400 plus ppi then also z1 looks dull in front of ion...why ?

surajsam — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:11:49 GMT

What would i say ? Same thing i tell all reviewers that attempt to rank camera via an auto shoot.

In this case auto on the Z1 isn't as mature as on the ion.

Try manual, on the Z1 and play with the different modes.

The angle is different, thats obvious, did the lighting conditions change between shots ?

Z1 takes the photo October 30, 2013 11:10:47AM

ion took the photo October 23, 2013 3:53:38PM

Next time, try and take the photos at the same time

dont go too much with that detail....am using both phones an i knw whats the difference with both...here its not about same time...its about z1 quality dude...why its screen is dull then of ion...thus its having any concern with ur words same time...i thought its camera will be more better then of iph 5 but its not above 2mp, update required i think...becas previous update didnt work well..and if u had anything intresting and logical then reply pls..

You know the difference. The problem is articulating that difference to the world.

The first pair of shots were taken with different angles and at different times of the day. If you take the same shot with the same camera with auto at different times of the day when light isn't the same then you will get different results. The light has to be as close as possible otherwise your comparison is invalid.

Take 2 pairs of shots. One with auto at the same time of the day. And do another in manual at lowest iso again at same time of the day. Put up the photos and then let's see the difference. Do the same with another 2 pair indoors.

Try and keep external differences to a minimum when you want to do comparisons like this as it makes it simple to see what we're interested in rather than having to adjust for them.

Open a seperate thread about that. This one is to do with camera issues.
