Sony Xperia 1 ii :: Just the Cameras

The Sony Xperia 1 ii will be shipping next month and is one of the top camera systems I've used on any phone to date. Designed by Sony Alpha, it feels much like the mirrorless cameras Sony is known for.

In this video I want to talk specifically about the cameras and the camera applications that ship with this phone. We have an ultra-wide angle 16mm lens, a standard 24mm lens and a portrait-length 70mm lens. You can access the cameras for both stills and video using the basic camera app. There are also 2 dedicated apps for stills and video - the PhotoPro and the CinemaPro respectively.

I'm super excited about this phone from a photography perspective and want to go through all of the functionality that you get on this device.

Preorder your Xperia 1 ii here and for a limited time get the WF-1000XM3 ear buds for free

Sony NEEDS youtubers like you who know what they're talkin about.. for its Xperia line

I'm not into phones, but this is amazing. I'm a bit obsessed.

[orlandoalexander]

Yes some head to head comparisons with other phone cameras is a must.

I have only had sony smartphones and i love them never been disappointed with them and i think i will never change phone company

[SpencersStuffTV]

Been using Sony phones for years. When you master their sensors, they're the best camera phones on the market, I don't care what anyone says

Hi all from Norway! 4 more days and i have this beautiful mobile in my pocket :-)

Night Mode will be coming as an update soon, along with RAW support. Based on how Sony's Night Mode performs on the mid range Xperia 10 II, we can safely sure it will be as good as any other phones' Night Mode at the very least.

oh man, I've been waiting for this ever since you posted the first review. much appreciated!

I really liked when you compared the smartphone pictures against a DSLR. Perhaps from my science background, I appreciate seeing the DSLR picture as a theoretical standard. I think it's helpful when the viewer can't see what the actual scene looked like. In terms of smartphone comparisons, I'd like to see the Xperia go against the Iphone, P40 Pro, and to a lesser extent the Samsung phones.

I preordered mine. As a huge Sony fan, I'm happy I am getting a Sony again. I gave up on them with my last phone as they kept having the same issues after some time of usage... But that's a great phone!! + the headphones

Great review! I've ordered Xperia 1 MKII 6 days ago and next monday it's mine. Can't wait. Sony finally decides to make a great camera smartphone. Maybe i'll do a YT video...test it in the nature.

That image of the sunflowers looked absolutely incredible. I need to try it whenever this phone is available.

Hopefully the Xperia 1-ii arrives tomorrow since I haven't got a dispatch email confirmation yet. KineMaster and VivaPro video editors is what I use on android.

Thanks for doing a detailed hands on the Photo Pro and VideoPro apps.

Great video. Great capabilities in a camera not found on others. This video for people who knows about cameras and photography. For those who are asking for specs comparison or comparing with other phones, there are other videos out there. This phone has features that no other phones has. For example it can shoot 20fps and Eye focus (inclduing animal eye). This allows you to take moving or sports picture with great focus and 20 frames per second and the pictures will be sharp. You will never miss a moment. This is because this 1 ii uses a new dual pixel autofocus sensor (even though it's only 12 MPa). You cannot do this with samsung, apple or others. All other phones just uses the older technology dual phase AF sensors. Samsung S20 ultra has 108Mpa which is good if you want to take static pictures of your food, scenery, etc. But it also suffers from poor autofocus where your shots will be blurry. If you know about photography, this phone is for you.

Sony just revived the old category of phones,


Camera Phones.

[smaulpaul]

As a pro wedding photographer my next phone upgrade had to have a camera which had depth to it. This video has just sold this phone to me. I want more control over my photos and it looks like Sony have done the job. Great video.

Mind blowing how far cameras on phone have come !

Hey, I love your channel! I have the Sony Xperia 1 but have also had LG's in the past. In my opinion, these two brands are the best with camera technology in a smartphone, specifically the manual aspect of it all! I would love to see a broken down camera comparison of Sony Xperia 1 ii and the LG V60 and/or a solo review of the LG V60 thin q!
