The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium takes clearer photographs and videos than LG V30, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not so good for shooting photos and/or video in low light situations, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rates and the same (4K) video quality, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium also counts with a lot larger sensor shooting much better quality videos and pictures and a camera with much more mega-pixels.

If you are trying to save some money, you can get the LG V30, giving up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
