    My upgrade is due in a few weeks and I really would like to go with the Z30.

    After reading many reviews, it would seem that the camera is somewhat sub par.

    I would appreciate the views of you guys that own the Z30 because we all know what bloggers are like!

    An honest perception from users would be far more beneficial perspective.

    Cheers, Alan.

    It's not bad but not great. I had the z10 and preferred the camera on that. Even though they seem the same specs wise. In all honesty it is the only thing that is sub par next to other phones. I know others complain about the screen but I am fine with that.

    If you have access to bbm channels check this out C00015609 the guy posts pics with his Z30 all the time. Should give you an idea.

    To me the software is what drags it down and that it will get better overtime. It definitely hasn't hit it's full potential. It's not the worst camera that's for sure. But to me it sucks under low light conditions.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm really just a "happy snapper" not really into photography.

    As long as its better than my 9900 (and we all know about that) and could come close to my Canon compact, I would be more than happy.

    It's definitely better than 9900 and PlayBook cams

    No. I've used many devices, Z10, GS4, GS3, HTC One, and the whole line of Nexus devices all the way through the Nexus 5. It's true that it's not Point and Shoot quality but none of the above are "great", they all have their flaws... after all its a phone! That said the quality can be great if you shoot to any of those devices strengths and the same go's for the Z30. The Z30 is hands down the best all around and enjoyable experience, well at least for me, and the camera works just fine. I have printed many photos for framing around my house from my phones and the Z30 has just as many good shots in it as the others!

    It's still better than my stand alone digital. As good as my old 4s is debatable, some test pics I did I it was hard to tell. Although I was able to get better pics on my 4s at full zoom. but none the less it's still really good on z30 that I can still be satisfied if I was to print them. It's nice having settings like portrait and beach and sunset etc. Makes the pics easier to take without white balance issues I find

    It's great in good lighting.
    It's terrible in low lighting.

    For the average user it's good enough.

    I think the camera could be a lot better. Not the best performance under low light, and the focus is somehow not very good.
