Xperia Z and Xperia ZL sample photos and videos

The Sony Xperia Z (C660X) and Xperia ZL (C650X) come with a brand new 13MP Exmor RS CMOS imaging sensor, capable of both HDR videos and photos. We’ve been waiting to see what kind of results these new handsets are capable of. If these initial indications are anything to go by, it looks quite promising.

We’ve attached some outdoor sample photos and videos from the Xperia Z (C6603) courtesy of BestBoyZ as well as some indoor CES samples of the Xperia ZL (C6503) courtesy of reader Uli. Noise levels on the images appear to be lower than that seen on last year’s Xperia flagships, such as the Xperia S/Xperia T. However, there seem to be sharpness issues at full resolution, although this is a prototype device so it will most likely be improved on release. Have a look yourself below to see how the cameras fare so far.
