It might be obvious, but which is RS and S?

Upper is R, lower is RS. I'm very disappointed...

Just did a few testshots with my ZR and the conclusion is that auto-mode tends to amplify any light in the scene, thereby exposing the noise from the sensor. Using SCN and choose nightshot gives a more realistic picture with less noise, and less light.

So I think that you're not really testing RS vs. R, but rather the Experia S vs. Z camera software. The noisy picture might be better for quick shots in a bar, than the darker picture from nightshot mode. But it would be a better result, if Sony would use a higher level of noisereduction.

I tried lot of modes- all looks nearly the same. Noisy.

I must admit that my results wasn't as good as those seen on:

But I probably was in a darker scene.
