Sony Xperia Z1 vs Nokia Lumia 1020 shootout surfaces

The Nokia Lumia 1020 and the recently announced at IFA 2013 Sony Xperia Z1 are the hottest cameraphones out there. Sadly, we are still in the process of obtaining both of them for an extensive camera shootout, but luckily our colleagues at TBreak.se have managed to do that already and had some quick shots to share with it.

Surprisingly, here the Lumia 1020 was able to resolve a lot less detail than the Xperia Z1. The 41MP PureView camera with its enormous sensor somehow didn’t cope as well as its competitor with the scene and the differences in the foliage and the sand are quite easy to spot. The Xperia Z1′s camera also produced a shot with better contrast than its competitor, even if its dynamic range is slightly lower.

Then come the more interesting night shots. Both manufacturers brag that their phones produce the best night shots out there and it’s time to put that claim to the test by checking the night samples below.
