One of the most important features these days in a smartphone is the camera. There are consumers who actually consider it more than the software and other hardware features.

There are certain eye catching devices that come with great camera features and immediately standout amongst its competitors.

The latest to join the league is Sony Xperia Z2 which is the shining star which proudly flaunts its awesome camera. The Z2 includes a 20.7MP of resolution, G Lens optics and 1/2.3" image sensor which shows that Sony is capable of emerging at the top considering its line of smartphone series.

But the Sony Xperia Z2 has a long race to win as there are equally awesome smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S5, the LG G2, the HTC One (M8) and the iPhone 5s in the market that are performing well in taking pictures.

While taking pictures, Sony Xperia Z2 performs well as it has the perfect colour combination in its daytime images. The photos turn out to be brighter, shady areas are clearer but due to this the objects might turn out to be dark.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has neutral colors in its pictures with a slight cold-ish tone. The dark color is visible here too but not as such that it will create a negative impression.

The LG G2 has a lot to show as compared to its competitors. It has a good balance of colour and does not over saturate. Some of the images display certain greenish tone.

The Apple iPhone 5s has its own colour representation. Its pictures are warm and bright and both these forms show negative and positive side depending on the way it is seen.
