Is Sony Xperia 1V camera better than iPhone 14 Pro?

Tony & Chelsea Northrup review the new Sony Xperia 1V camera. It has a new Sony dual-layer sensor that promises better low-light quality AND better quality in bright sunlight. We'll test it for raw photo quality, video (in both good light and low light), stabilization, and vlogging.

The iPhone is NOT fine with its extreme over-sharpening, red tomato face, and yellow white balance. Why is nobody talking about this?

[mohamedredaelmeallem]

I gave up my iPhone for Sony Xperia and I do not regret it. The iPhone is good, but I hated the overprocessing of the pictures, even RAW photos were processed. I get better and more natural Photos from Xperia. The Menu was not a big deal because I am good familiar with Sony Menu from Sony cameras.

I had such high hopes when I saw you guys were reviewing this phone. I was expecting to see you work the photographer angle a lot harder.
I am VERY interested in seeing how well the DNGs from the 1 V respond to torture in Lightroom. How much headroom is there in highlights and shadows, including if you expose for the phone's strengths? How well do the colours respond to curves manipulation? Do any of the colours clip? etc etc etc 

This device, with all the manual controls it offers, is clearly meant for this kind of enthusiast/pro workflows.

All you guys did was just pixel peep!!

Also, in what universe were the vlog test skin tones of the Sony better than the iPhone's?

I got my Xperia 1 V a month ago or so from adorama as well. Best phone I've ever had. Speakers, screen resolution, and the camera and video are awesome to play with. Best phone by far. Threw my S23 ultra in the drawer

Northrup always pushes for this "Android Camera" thing and am definitely on their side, I hope your predictions about Sony's next move by the Xperia "experiment" is true.

before i started photography, i never thought that phones look oversharpened and unnatural. Since im a photographer, i think smartphone stuff looks absolutly awfull unrealistic :D Props for the sony beeing more natural!

[QuicknStraight]

I really like what Sony does with it's high end phones. The range of pro tools they offer can't be beat. And Apple really need to sort out the over-sharpening and colour science.

The SD card option makes my old desktop relevant again and it won't need an expensive hardware upgrade i had been planning.
Great phone and will be my next, when it is released late July in Australia.
Also now plan to buy a decent set of wired headphones thanks to Sony.... earbuds and bluetooth 5.0 just don't cut it for me.

Only the Audio jack and micro sd card slot is all ready a destroyer of the iPhone.

If you use the best settings for the lowlight video situation I believe it will be better then the iPhone.

iPhone no micro sd card slot a very important thing for creators.

Iphone no audio jack a very important thing for creators,

iPhone no special button to shoot and focus on objects, Sony all having it.

For me I’m waiting for the successor of the xperia pro i mk2 there are rumors sony is planning to use dual one inch sensors.

[nightcoderk]

Great video. I'm shocked to see how great the iPhone 14 Pro handles low light video. I prefer optical bokeh that the 1V creates.

[The-Heart-Will-Testify]

iPhone wins 1 or 2 results - iphone fanboys, I told you iPhone is the greatest camera on earth. It doesn't matter if Sony wins 99% of the time. That 1% is more important.

[adeafningsilence]

I compared the Xperia Pro I with the new Xperia 1 V. The Pro I was clearly a lot stronger for the wide and zoom lens. I think with more updates, the 1 V camera will get better (that's what I've noticed with the Pro I and the Xperia 1 ii).

If they made an Exmor T 1” sensor, that would be a game changer.

[Michael-dbsn]

This was such a calm and enjoyable video to watch. Thank you.

[waleedibrahim]

Besides the phone review, I love the way you two present 😃. It's so natural and calm, with no exaggeration, and the filming is amazing as well. You've got a new follower here 😅. Keep it up

[Othmaun]

[stefan_becker]

The weak point with Sony smartphones has unfortunately always been the short two year update period.

[sharathreddy]

Thank you guys for the review. Needed to hear this kind of review from professional photographers

[erickruse]

I gasped when I saw that dead pixel on my oled in the low-light test section. Glad that's yours, not mine :)
