Xz1 compact has really bad camera

GihanMc — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 16:59:23 GMT

I replaced my iphone7 because I wanted a smaller phone with better camera. I remember my mum using an xperia before and camera was fantastic. Not sure what model it was. Based in that, Ive decided to get the xz1 compact. The camera is really bad. No matter what I do it is grainy and blurry. I am not sure. What to do bec i really like the look and feel of this compact phone. Is there any way the camera can improve? Perhaps a software update can fix the problem? Otherwise I can only get an iphone se to have a small phone but still a better camera than this. Help.

Can you upload a picture, so we can see what you mean by very bad?

Here are a few from my XZ1c so you can compare. The last 2 are edited with paint to lower the size so i can upload them to the site...

Dunno, they look really good to me.

I mean, this is a smartphone, not a DSLR.

You're right iPhone has a very good camera.

That being said you can have better results by reading Sony tips about taking pictures and tips like taking a picture while you're taking a video.

Photo tips

and more general

Read the last paragraphs with general tips.

A phone can never replace a decent camera but I hope that after reading the tips you will achieve better results.

Can you share with us, which xperia had your mum with fantastic camera? I had Z1c, Z3, Z3c, Z5, Z5c and XZ1c for now. XZ1c is the best.

I dont think they are so bad (having in mind 2 of them are edited with PAINT to loose some size so i can upload them). And they are not any worse than a iphone se/6s... to which he is planing to upgrade his camera quality from the xz1c. Unless you are looking at them on a sh*ty monitor...than they can look very bad.
