Camera comparison: how do the Sony Xperia Z1 and LG G2 fare against the competition?

Now that IFA 2013 has been and gone, we've got a perfect selection of flagships to perform another camera comparison with - specifically, the Apple iPhone 5, HTC One, LG G2, Nokia Lumia 925, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Sony Xperia Z1.

With pixel counts on these phones ranging from 4.3-megapixels through to 20.7-megapixels - not to mention the myriad of different shootings modes - we thought the fairest way to compare all the cameras was to shoot in automatic mode at the default resolution.

This means the HTC One at 4.3-megapixels, Apple's iPhone 5 and Sony's Xperia Z1 at 8-megapixels, the Nokia Lumia 925 at 8.7-megapixels, and the LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy S4 at around 10-megapixels given the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Now that's all covered, lets get comparing:

Step one is to get up close and personal with an awkward focal-point: a Furby beak.

We tapped the pecker of the Furby on the right-hand side on all six phones, giving them all an equal chance to lock-on. The scene also showed off Furby's fur for some contrasting texture.
