Trikesh,

The main problem about the camera of Xperia T (and others, as I did read), is that the JPG has too much compression.

With JB update, they added so many good options to the camera (really good ones), but they didn't change the compression.

What does it mean?... it means that we have so many good options with a camera that offers  an amazing colour/contrast, but that at the end, the big compression makes that the picture shows a lot of noise nomatter in what condition you will shoot. So the pictures appears blurr because the noise.

The saddest part is that Sony won't change this, even getting LOTS of complainings about this matter.

About the zoom, yes, it makes that the pictures appears even more blurr if you use it at the max.

Hope it helps.

Since the jelly bean update the camera has gone from 13Mp to 12 Mp

That doesn't matter - even my old 3.2 MP Nokia 6320 takes better pictures. I'm not an expert on the whys and wherefores, but all I know is that this is the worst camera phone I have ever had.

Hi its due tgo compression algorithms used by sony, they have amazing sensors, but awful camera processing software, my best advice to you, if you wish to take full advantage of the 13Megapixel camera, is use a third party app like camera 360, pictures come out larger at around 5mb but they are quality.

Hi,

I tried some thirtd party apps but noone seems to take better pictures.

I think that, if the main software from Sony is set up to take the lowest quailty, there is nothing we can do, unless we can change this.

Would be good to know if someone can explain HOW to do this, because it is clear that Sony will do nothing to change this (although it has to be the easiest part for them).

Once we can improve Sony's bad work, then the thirth apps, will do wonders with this camera.

It is just ridicilous to get this camera with that lower quality. I just can't believe why Sony won't do anything about it.

Its frustrating because Sony dont know how to get the best out of their hardware. The sensor is actually pretty good but crippled by poor implementation.

The camera on the Z is just as bad when compared to the S4, which has an equivilent sensor.

In the camera world the sensors Sony use in their SLRs are the best around but are implemented better when used in other manufacturers models in every case!

Matbe they should hire some better software engineers as the ones they have arent very good!

I agree 100%.

This same sensor in other phones, takes very good pictures.

It is just unveliable that the same company that develops such amazing hardware is totally unable to develop a good software for it.

Yes, as you said, the Z has the same problems that the T (wich it's even worst, as the Z sensor is better than ours)...

Looks like they only spend money to make fake commertials saying how good is the product, when the truth is that thanks to the software, it is a really bad camera.

The T and the Z would take amazing pictures ONLY if Sony would listen to the costumers.

But there's no way they want to learn.

Anyways, they cheated me just once, no more.

As soon as it will be available here, I'll sell this T just for the lowest  (any price will be worth) and I'll go for the S4.

In 6 months, I had more than enough about this Xperia T and Sony and their lies.
