Yay, finally, a movement from sony xperia Z camera to galaxy s6 camera! Wow, Sony, finally!!! Congradulations!!!
In a next couple of years you will probably move to 2018 meizu 16th camera module and then you will finally be putting something not so s*** in your flagship phone!
This garbage will cost 600$ in half a year, mark my words. And Sony can kiss my back with their ip65/ip68 rating. Its ip65. And worse on practice. Sony has s*** water resistance from my experience with sony Z1 and Z3 compact and seems nothing changed, because they still go with that 65/68 marketing crap.

[Sony please]

SONY... Please stop putting glossy glass backs on your phone. Its neither sexy nor practical. Hire some new designers please!

Apparently, on Xperia 1 the camera software applies noise reduction directly on RAW file from the sensor rather than on compressed jpeg files for more efficient noise reduction. In other words, they have been applying post processing on the image AFTER the compression, not BEFORE like what every other company does. This is purely idiotic and I'm glad that Sony finally stopped doing that.

...no wonder......We'll just have to see how much Sony catches up this time, their last flagship's solution only outputted superior JPG *sometimes* under *certain* low light conditions.
