V20 photos not as good as G5. Why?

I just got the V20 in very good condition as an upgrade from my G5.
I am very unhappy with the quality of the photos from v20 and wondered what others who have had both think?

Often the V20 shows lens flare, is over-exposed and the focus is poor.

Seeing that the V20 is supposed to have the same camera as G5 I was expecting at least the same. It's far far worse.
Also in all reviews I've seen the V20 is supposed to be 16MP but this is only in 4:3 mode whereas the G5 is 16Mp at 16:9. The V20 goes down to 12MP in 16:9. Why has nobody who reviewed it picked up on this? It's almost as if they haven't used the phone for themselves and just taking manufacturer's specifications as read ;-)
