Blackberry Z3 Expert Review Summary

Deepak Dhingra

Editor-in-Chief with 25+ years in tech, reviewed 1000+ gadgets.
Long shot +

Looking at the long shot to check out the BlackBerry Z3 camera performance, it does appear a tad washed out, though the white balance look fine, even on auto mode. The captured details look decent too. Turns out that the Z3's snapper is reasonably good in daylight shots.

Close-up +

The colours appear much better for subjects shot at close distance. There's a little bit of blurriness though and the details are weaker. Let's see how this close-up shot using the BlackBerry Z3 camera appears when zoomed in.

Close-up (zoomed in) +

Loss of detail is apparent when zooming in, and colours look slightly oversaturated at close quarters.

Read More
HDR off +

This shot looked ideal to compare auto and HDR modes, and the one above has been captured on auto mode. Just like the long shot earlier, the colours look a tad muted, though details are fine.  

Read More
HDR on +

We love this HDR shot captured as part of our BlackBerry Z3 camera review. Turns out that HDR is one of its strengths and the shooter does a good job of highlighting the darker areas of the image. The image doesn't look unnatural either.

Read More
Night shot +

Low light is the bane of many a smartphone snapper, and the Z3 isn't too different. Low-light images to check out the BlackBerry Z3's camera performance display a fair bit of noise and graininess.

Read More
Indoor low light shot +

It isn't as if images captured indoors with low light fare any better. The noise creeps in into this BlackBerry Z3 camera sample too, plus we can't say that the Z3 does a good job of capturing enough detail.

Read More
Indoor low light shot with flash +

Shooting the same scene with the flash fares much better, but not overwhelmingly though. The flash does tend to blow out the details, though on the plus side, the shot doesn't look extremely unnatural.
