Now,I found the another professional one who knows what 1ii stand for.Great job.Your video deserve more likes from audience.

Damn you're underated, this is the best review of Xperia 1 mk 2 ive seen so far

After the sample footage (video), it made me even more happy that I've ordered this phone yesterday!

So far the best review on Sony Xperia1 II. Maybe the only KZfaq reviewer that adress the dynamic range capabilities of this phone. This is how you review a camera system. Good job there sir.

I do not have the money for both. And I needed a new phone. So I got the 1ii. Since I want to get into photography, and the level of camera feeling I get from the 1ii, is what I think is an okay start for me. When I get the money, and I get used to taking photos, I will get a Alpha series camera. I hope. Thanks for the great showcase.

I agree with Thomas..great review. I purchased mine from Honk Kong with is the Mirror Purple dual sim edition for only £899 inc import tax. Sadly no freebies ! Photos are simply amazing especially in burst mode. Cheers K..

Thank you! Finally a good review of the RAW capabilities!

Man I hope you get more subs because the structure of this video, the presentation and your insight is worth a larger audience!

Great review , by far the best review I've seen of this phone to date. I've subscribed off this!

Now you earned a subscriber. A very fair review of the phone. Keep it up! 🔥

I'm just a week in to using it and still learning. Your video was very helpful, thanks. So far I 'm liking it as a camera and phone/computer. I love the manual control you have with this unlike any other phone I saw when looking for a new phone.

Great video and very detailed review. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Damn dude. You're underrated with just 3K subs. Take my sub!

Fantastic review of a brilliant device. Stimulus well spent 👍

Awesome vid. Super useful. I'm about to buy a 1ii so this was great to see what it can do. Actually it'd be awesome to see you do more vids around the topic of Xperia 1ii, particularly as it pertains to things like colour grading and filters and how you deal with certain limitations etc.

Man that was a very good and thorough review! Much appreciated

Amazing review bro!!!

This is the pro review video we have to see! Excellent work man keep it up...

nicer 👍 really great review 😊.

Amazing craftsmanship from SONY..

Great video. Spot on!

One of the best Reviews i've ever Seen. Please keep going on. Would like to see more Smartphone Camera Reviews. Maybe Pixel 5 or Xperia 5ii.

Very nice review ;)

Thank you for sharing original videos download link.

Excellent review, This smartphone is on my bucket list next to the A6600

That's fantastic. Sony King!

Great review of this phone! Thank you so much for adding the link to the full-res images and footage! I REALLY appreciate this. The images that you have in that folder, have they been post processed or are they just as they came out of the phone using their pro app?

Hey! Saw your photos on reddit. Nice job!

Would love to see a review for 5ii too. You nailed this one

I am getting mine on October 5th . Thanks for the review .

Thanks for a great overview of the 1 II functions. I'm out for the Xperia 5 II (probably) and I was checking KZfaq for more in depth videos, like yours, that'll prove my point of where and how it could fit my workflow. ANd the 1 II and 5 II have same cameras... For the first, I don't have a phone, I run off of a company owned iPhone 11Max Pro, so I combine a SIM card from work and a eSIM for my private carrier in the same machine. Although I'm all Apple with my video and photo productions, I find it hard to color match the footage from my A7III and A5100 and that from the iPhone. It's a creamy 4K video but the footage is totally different when I bring it to FinalCut. Of course there are workarounds but then it takes extra time to tinker with it. My usual workflow is filming interviews, statements, mostly with those two Sonys one on each person involved and then the iPhone on a tripod or gimbal for some B-roll or sliding shots of the scene. So the idea with the Xperia 5 II is to get it for the video mostly, and I'm wondering how I can make the settings in these three devices match as much as possible. Not to mention how much I like the idea of having a great phone right in my pocket for some spontaneous shooting when I don't have my photo bag with me. The best and easiest setup for A7III and A5100 is to skip the Picture Profiles in the A7III because A5100 doesn't have those. I then have the same custom measured white balance on both as well as the Creative Styles set to Standard. This is easy to grade in post and since I always have great light it's a no brainer. But still the iPhone footage looks a bit washed out and has almost the reddish tint to it. Maybe I should use Filmic Pro or some other app instead of what's provided in the phone.. Thanks again for the video!

🤯🤯🤯 I pre-ordered this phone so I have had it for a year I guess and never took the camera seriously. I'm a Sony camera owner with the a6000, a6300, a7, a7r and the a7s. Thanks for your video a conference builder. 👍

... best review for that phone ever! :-) by the way: Which diameter has the nd filter?

Great Video

Sorry I am 2 years late but really liked this Xperia 1 II video

Your photographs look great

nice explanation thank you mr

Great review. I own the phone as well and I can only agree with your assessment :) . And... cool solution for the ND filter :D

Super helpful video. I wonder how the video quality of the Xperia series compares to the Galaxy line.

i have sony phones over 13 years ....from all premium to last but now is time for mrak2 :) its amazing comperision of reall photo camera and that phone ... where sony goes whit next generations who know but truly theyx are doctors for all ather phone great job sony

O ordered this week... Lets see! 😃

Astrophotography test of all lens please :)

Wow good job bro

Thank you, sir

Look forward to the hands-on review of the new Xperia 5 ii.

Beautiful phone and filming capability

Great camera/phone review! Coming from Mission Valley, I can attest to the beautiful photogenic scenery of San Diego. I have to say, for Photographer and Photo Enthusiasts, this phone makes total sense on all levels even cost. Take me into account, I bought an ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro. It has a great set of cameras and controls but fell a bit short of what I wanted in a "pro" family-cam point & shoot, so I ended up buying a Canon G1 X ii great camera with an awesome 1.5" sensor and the best OIS I've ever used for video. But... the cost for both and the clunckiness of having to carry both for simple family outings can be a bit of a pain. So if your able to eliminate multiple devices like Point & Shoot, Nintendo Switch, Tablet, etc. you made the correct buying decision. Let me know your thoughts...

Sony leader!!!

i very like this phone, Sony Xperia 1 ii

Thanks for this Video, great job. I have two questions, maybe you can help me. 1. What's about the Foto quality in low light situations? 2. Would you expect the Sony Xperia 5 II to perform at the same level when it comes to photography? Thanks!

Very nice and detailed look at this beast. The problem with the exposure goes for any phone today as far as exposure goes. Love the DIY ND filter setup.lol I was ready to commit to the Xperia 1 ii but I use portrait mode on my smartphones a lot and Sony’s inexplicable use of the main lens for portrait focal length and not the telephoto lens as the only option was a deal breaker for me. Phone of the year easily for me though despite that.

Nice! Great video and presentation 👍 I'm working on a short cinematic film with mine

I've just ordered one I was excited for the mark3 but it won't hit the US market till the end of June which sucks

🥰🥰 Xperia 1 ii 💪😎🇨🇱

Your sample clip confirmed my findings with the video, I can't get crispy video out of it. It falls apart when viewed on YT or bigger screens. I found the none cine-app has a sharper image but a bit bit too over-auto'd for my liking. I also discovered the non cine-app does not record correctly with an external mic - it seems to record both the phone and mic audio at the same time. Did you have any experience like this? Would love to use the video cam it but I can't seem to find a happy balance... thanks Also I used a Filter phone clip to get better exposures in daylight and it worked pretty good.

Nice video bro btw what is the model name of the lg monitor thats behind u on the left of the video as it looks good and m in search of a good lg monitor for my office so asking

Thanks for the download link and the work u put into them😊 Btw the camera sensors differ by supplier as well. The 24mm and 16mm are Sony sensors. The 70mm and front camera are Samsung-made

Umda video

Nice video. Sony's approach is good but is weak on dynamic range. I know they aim for natural looks, but I like the HDR capabilities & results you get on other flagships better.

Did you had problems using front lens? Mine in WhatsApp it basically takes 4 seconds before starting recording doing like a squeezing effect on the sides and top and bottom

I preordered this phone back in June. Sadly I did not get the headphones but I'm not a huge Bluetooth music fan anyways. My carrier is Tmobile so on the.phone side in missing some functionality but I.knew that would be the case when I purchased the phone. The cameras were the main reason for getting the phone. Ive had lg phones in the past. I loved my v10 and the v30 was great and.the g8 wad alright. But the cameras just got too dependant on tech as time went on. Even with the manual modes. So I'm hoping this camera set up will help revive my camera phone photog love. Ive only taken a few photos so far but ive been very satisfied with the results. I

Great video... Now how did you grade the footage and how do you properly export the footage! Been trying in premier... New to using premier... What are your export settings

u hit it right on the money.. if Sony comes out with a XPERIA mark III they could add 3 similar size sensors however for the price there isn't a top tier phone in 2020 that launched under $1000 if ur buying it out right.. just to note the galaxy ultra is $2000 in my region if ur going through a carrier then it's discounted

I just wish the Cinema Pro app offered the option to shoot in 16:9. Most video cameras shoot in this format and I want to easily mix footage without the extra step of cropping.

Subbed btw

Fire

I've looked for weeks to try and find a good comparison of this phone to an actual camera. B R A V O

20 FPS on the main camera is 100 % accurately ? And how do you think about hdr capability of this phone that so limited and narrow when compare to other phone ? Thank you

Couldn't you just pop in hdr mode on the photo pro app to compensate for lack of dynamic range one single shot from a phone generally provides? Usually a high end phones' best friend is computational photography. The pixels do that very well. We're you using the photo pro app on all the comparisons because from what I've seen in other videos there is a difference in quality in files from the standard photo app when compared to the pro app.. Also, I wonder how these cameras stack up against the pixel 4/5, iPhone 11 and 12 pro, the p40 mate 40 pro and the note 20 ultra...

Can you upload grading video of xperia mark 2

Which app do you use to view your photos on the phone? Because not all apps can view the raw files

Heard about this phone front camera is not great compared with other phones of similar price . Did you test it?

I do understand that the video recording has 10-bit color depth, how about the jpeg and raw files bit depth? How many stops can you recover from the raw files?

Wished i had one

Professional: Talking about how good the 1ii is. Me: ah yes yes, I can see that 😄 P.S., the variable ND was abominable. Sony should hire you.

I have the 5 II which have the same cameras. For a phone the pictures are great. I bought the phone because of the cameras. I think Sony has the best cameras. I dont have an 8k TV, so for ME Sony is better than Samsung S20.

I hope You will review Xperia 1 III soo n 🤠

He's certainly right in my opinion. However if you're also interested in other things like gaming or watching media, there are a lot of reasons to get this phone over many of the others. (ie. hooking up a playstation controller to play fortnite/cod/etc, or streaming your Playstation to your phone)

great review. I think Sony is on a promising way, but still not there yet and for what they offer it is a bit too pricy

Sony 💪❤☝️❤💪

In reddit there are linear picture profile for raw files of the Xperia 1II: www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/i26afs/xperia_1_ii_camera_profiles_and_venice_cs_for/?

This is cool, however the cameras for the 3 focal length with same sensors would be too expensive. Even with this, you're complaining about the price, what more with some of the largest sensors slapped on the back of the phone.

Seemed very blown out...in the first video section

Hopefully i don't ruin the phone for you now but i notice on the videos on Google drive there is a very noticeable hiss or static noise, i had that issue on 2 devices from one store, both returned. now ordered on somewhere else in hoping it was the batch. Do you know if you have an early batch or a later one? This got me a little worried for mine cause this is really the only phone atm that ticks all my boxes 😅 headphone jack, sd card etc etc It seems like the camera causes the top speaker to make noise which then gets picked up by the mic, but only with the rear cameras though the selfie cam and pure audio recordings sounds fine :)

Hey! I'm trying to find out if they have added 4k 120 video to the 1ii in firmware since the 5ii came out. Let me know if you still use the phone and know the answer!

It is more camera then a smartphone 😁

If I can get it around 800 instead or 700 - is that a more fair buy?

Wow! I can't believe the phone I'm holding has those capabilities! I paid £750 new so I'm not hugely disappointed but it's a very hard learning curve for me. I've been used to using a point and shoot, over processing Samsung and never understood settings but fully appreciate beautiful photographs. If anyone can give me a starting point I'd be really grateful. Should I start with raw or jpeg? Should I use full Manuel, P or S? And can having the histogram help me find my settings?

Does it have option of 1080p 240fps or 1080p 120fps ?

Can t you do all that with an Iphone 11 Pro, shooting raw, using cinema apps, just download the right app from the apple store for a few bucks. Im under the impression the iphone cameras are more capable. I could be totally wrong though. Great footage!

How about the audio quality when listening to music or shooting a video?

It is better for photos and videos than Huawei p30pro?

Anyone swapped over to Xperia from P30 Pro? Thats my concern. Does Xperia have waterfall mode ?

One of the best camera-phones of 2020, no doubts. But think that Sony should make something better for this particular price and very strong competition. Just to many cut corners for the price to my opinion.

SONY is the BEST!!!

Where did you shoot the video with the girl and the dog? Near SD I'm assuming

A camera which has telephone function

would you say the phone being better than iphone pro?

sample footage straight out of the phone with a gimbal..right?

Great review, but I believe your phone is faulty - the over exposed video is not normal - there really seems to be an issue with the camera - I have seen video footage were this over exposure was not present - it was the first thing I noticed when looking at the video - soemthning wrong there, at first I thought you hadn't set it up correctly but then you clarified that later - even in your studio when you turned the video camera on it was clearly evident there was something wrong
