The S cinetone.....that dynamic range....so much colors. The slow mo😢😢😢 They nailed it. No phone can shoot slow mo without sacrificing quality meaning it shows 1080p or 4k, but the footage looks pixalated, dark and muddy. Hats off to sony
And device will start throttling within the next 5 minutes, expect a huge amount of heat generation and thus automatically turning of camera. Their camera is good but if it can't sustain the same performance for more than 10/15 minutes, what will I do with such camera .
@@mahmudulhasan2468lol, that may have happened a lot with Xperia Z series back then, but even my old xperia XZ3 can shoot 4k for up to 20 minutes without a hitch. Surely you dont really know what the new Xperias can do. The only downside of Xperia, if any, is that they are not very user friendly in terms of interface and apps (like Samsung).
@@Kohki no thank YOU! I see many reviews and then when it comes to phones like this, well in general the camera, i never learn how well a phone does because they often take the most basic shots without playing around... This video shows what the phone can do! So thank you!
3:20 That is one of the reason why I always love Sony cameras. It's crazy to see Sony can do it on smartphones. I've been holding off Sony's 2021 and 2022 flagship phones because of the thermal-inefficient SoC, so this one is my next phone.
I heard from some vloggers that Sony is planning even get better than the best one in 2023. I was never a fan of IPhone, never had one. I love my Sony Xperia since 2017. It's hard for me to find anything like mine with the best camera at 2017....It was awarded for the best camera on the market. I bought it without even hesitation. The best purchase I have made were always like this. I like it and I buy it.
The first and last Sony phone I owned was the Sony Xperia XZ Premium after that I had a few other brands till this day I miss the Sony phones, soo yea I found my new phone if it isn't that expensive in the Netherlands 😂
Still using my Xperia 5 the very first generation, I don't think it will die anytime soon for me to replace, but damn, this Xperia 1 V is really something else entirely.
Same, been using the first gen Xperia 1 since release. Apart from the fingerprint sensor dying, and the battery performance taking a hit, it's still performing strong. But the 1 V is making me consider upgrading
@@FAT8893 yeah but they have resolved the overheating issue of the Mark IV in Mark V with 60% larger heat diffusion sheet volume. Now folks can shoot longer 4k videos.
How inspiring.. A camera that is realistic- not where u look back at the photo and regret not bringing your Mirrorless is what I am desperate for. Alot of life happens on the fly and we have our phones more than anything else so this is somewhat priceless. Well done such a great video and enjoyed your commentary! Irina seems very fun, what a day
Yay, you're back, Kohki!! The shots look really nice with realistic skin tones. The shutter speed during the burst was nutsss!! During some JTuber live streams I've noticed lately that certain phones still have problems with auto white / gray point in cloudy conditions, especially near rivers where everything supposedly gray turns out way too blue. Same for supposedly white areas. Although that might have something to do with the codecs. It would be interesting to see early cloudy morning videos shot on the Xperia. How is the noise level of the night / low light shots? It's fun that Irina immediately reacts herself on you describing the problem rather than asking her what to do. Like "harsh contrasts", Irina turns her face into the sun. Real pro! Anyway, great footage, narration, editing again, Kohki!! Thanks a lot for your hard work! Can't wait for your next one!! Peace out!!
Thank you! Haha yeah 30fps lol crazy I think the auto white balance is good on cloudy days with the Xperia but I have to test. Low light is waaay nicer now with very minimal noise. The night portraits I shot were insanely dark. It wasn’t even lit with city lights since it was on a pier. Yeah Irina is too pro. He also has creative inputs sometimes so I don’t feel like I’m just shooting a model which makes things more fun! Appreciate your comment! Stay curious :)
I decided to commit to jumping to the Xperia 1 V from the Samsung S22 Ultra. Although the Xperia may be lacking from a basic camera usage compared to other common consumer phones like the S23 Ultra or Iphone 14 Pro, as a photographer I love the details that the Xperia retains for post later on, I also love how the Xperia has better UI for manual shooting compared to others, stack that with the amazing AF and AF peeking that alone makes the Xperia a better camera experience for me versus other brands based on the content I capture. Great video! Can't wait for the phone to ship in July.
Did you get your phone? Actually I'm the same I'm thinking to switch from S23Ultra. One difference I'm not a photographer but I love to capture. So what is your suggestions? Can't decide
i had an xperia a while back, was great, then switched to lg v60, the camera has a lot of nice features as well, the with peaking manual focus and most other manual features..but since lg stopped making phones..i think the only phone left with similar features would be this sony
@@tgy13 Okay, so now that I have been using both the Samsung phone and Sony Xperia 1V for a while here's what I learned. Samsung and Android as a whole have a lot of similar camera features, both do focus peaking, both do screen tap object tracking, both can shoot raw photos and videos, both have a burst mode option for photos. But here's where they differ: Raw photos: Samsung does not shoot true raw photos without computational processing, which means you will always get a slight edited HDR look on your photos Sony however will give you that natural photo perfect for editing, but I noticed no matter what camera settings I change on the Sony, shooting in RAW on the phone makes the photos seem extra noisy/grainy unnecessarily. To me, I would shoot in RAW for landscape photography or specific portraits. Sony excels capturing jpg's that suits my editing interests more versus the Samsung. Video: Samsung can capture up to 8k video, and Sony tops off at 4K, however you get much more professional controls and streaming options on the phone that will really appeal to the video content creators compared to using the Samsung. Camera Zoom: Samsung definitely has its impressive zoom paired with computational processing, however the Sony gives you a usable impressive zoom that doesn't need to go as far as Samsung. TL;DR If you want a phone that gives you more control and you already enjoy spending time on your content then the Sony phone is the way to go, the AF on Sony makes it better than most phones. If you are someone that just wants to take their phone out to capture quick content and do less editing so you can post on social media, and don't mind the computational photography then the Samsung and iPhone are more suited for you
After watching so many of your videos now with the different Sony phones and models...the magic really lies with having fun and working with whatever hardware you have.
hey, thank you for this video! I am using Xperia 1 iii right now and I am happy with it! even though the 1 v looks amazing I think Sony is keeping their best sensor and photo quality for the Pro-i ii, once that beast is out I am getting it :) thanks for the review again and best of luck!
Thank you for watching! Haha maybe. Still a great time to upgrade. The 1III was a great phone too I still remember being blow away from the photos. Stay curious! Until next time🙋🏻♂️
@@Kohki Yes exactly! every time I took pictures, especially the portrait with the 75-108 mm lens for my friends who have iPhones they got shocked at how good they are! looking forward for your next video :)
From France : great high level review, gorgeous pure natural model, beautiful Japan. Japanese goods, Japanese manufacturing, Japanase work (for example Kento Cameras), Japanese technoligies are the best !!! This Sony Xperia 1 V shows widely that Japan and Sony are still number one. I will get this phone to pair with my Sony 7 R II and my Leica. Thank you very much for this great video.
Watched this at 1iii. And im probably sold now. I recently realized the features on 1V are so much more and better. Still it takes knowledge (or modell) to get that picture. Great rewiev.
It looks great with s-cinetone. You really got the most out of it here. The output is still a little crunchy with digital sharpening for my taste, so I'd probably still get a Z-V1 instead. But as phones go it's getting there. ✨
Mine landed recently and yours was the last video I watched before ordering it online. I am not disappointed in any way whatsoever! You 3 folks made my decision so easy. Smashed it out of the studio! Regards and be safe! 💋
I have a plan to go to Japan next year to travel for 10-14 days. Just watch all of you video again (and again) to note all the location in your videos. I hope I will have enough time to go to all those places. Thank you again Kohki, you have inspired me so much.
Ahh man. Sony did it again. I wish they upgraded the other rear sensors as well, but the improvements in their computational photography are probably worth it anyways. They made quite a significant jump with this one. Since your video on the 1 IV I got myself a 5 III for 400$ used and I've been loving it. Very few phones as versatile and speed-focused as these. And the jpegs are gorgeous, even at night I prefer their colors and quality over anything else I've seen and used (including the big boys like the S22 Ultra from window shopping outings). I'll probably wait for another year before upgrading, but who knows. A few things Sony should go forward with: - Upgrade the other 2 sensors (the ultrawide especially, it's quite noisy and probably the most outdated one on the phone) - Enable 4k 120fps HDR on the front camera - Start porting more photo and video picture profiles from the alpha cameras, every new addition is invaluable - Include the strap hole the Pro-I has (I have a case to protect my phone that also supports a strong camera strap for smartphones I have, but it's so beautiful I sometimes just remove it to be able to see it, Sony does design better than a lot of smartphone companies) - Improve the video algorithms to reduce the smoothness (this is pretty apparent when digitally zooming in and it could be better, but it also eliminates noise like no other smartphone) - Give us the ability to shoot RAW on basic mode + the new night mode - (If they haven't already) fix the low light raw color circle + softness problem - Increase the telephoto's optical zoom range (there was a rumor about a 70-200mm module but it seems it was false or didn't make it in the device) - Add clipping zebras for both highlights and shadow areas on all camera apps - Give us the option for a digital button instead of the shutter button on advanced modes (I wouldn't prefer it over a physical shutter button, that's a huge selling point, but this way you can use intervalometer apps, which is HUGE for someone like me who's into astrophotography) That's about it. I'm very impressed and looking forward to see this sensor tech spread. Another creator made a video that included a 2000 ISO jpeg shot in late twillight and it blew my mind how there was basically no visible noise at all. If I go over 200 ISO on my 5 III noise creeps in really fast.
Probably this year I will still use the Xperia 1 ii and maybe next year I will choose again Xperia. I really love this phone, the only downside is that Sony doesn't offer software updates like Samsung... and here I can include photo/video apps also, not just the OS. You can shoot some nice bursts with these phones and when you have small children or pets, it's a game changer. Nice review ;)
Just found your channel after doing extensive research on the Xperia 1 V. The quality of the photos and footage are amazing! I've been a professional photographer for a number of years and have been using Sony cameras ever since the first alpha. When smartphone cameras got good enough, I loved having a smartphone that had a capable camera with me (my favourite was the Huawei P60 Pro, I found it had incredible dynamic range) Interestingly I've only ever owned 2 'Sony' phones, the Sony Ericsson P900 and the Sony Ericsson W200i (DEFINITELY showing my age lol) But the last few years, I got phones that dealt more with computational photography and achieved good results as a quick point and shoot. Then, in the last few years, I went with foldable phones, to ease my workflow for my main career. My current Galaxy Fold 3 has seen better days, but the turning point happened yesterday, when my department at work had a baby shower for one of our colleagues. Everyone in my team knows I'm a photographer (unfortunately I forgot to pack my Alpha IV in my bloody bag) and was looking at me to take some photos and video, but I was so embarrassed with the camera quality of the Galaxy fold 3, I 'left' it at my desk. Unfortunately, I was persuaded to go fetch it and take some photos.... and after going through the photos...I really should've left it at my desk! Anyway, I'm out of contract and was looking for a new phone last night, did a tone of research and I think this Xperia would be what I actually need...especially after a photoshoot I had 2 weeks ago, I've been thinking of buying a monitor. Now after seeing this amazing video, Platinum Silver Xperia 1 V pre-ordered! I just hope I didn't jump the gun before the new Xperia Pro II is announced and turns out to be substantially better....
Damn, such a good camera on a phone, this is too good, the colour is really punchy but in natural way, with a good skill and a nice spot, nothing can stop sony 🥰
Dearest Ko, We are many Xperia fans around the world, mostly in Europe, and we are really appreciative for the work you are doing with Sony devices. But many of us are not creators for YT, but are making money for different occasion between friends. As I being among them, more a non-virtual creator (a more personal one), I used Xperia and fell in love with the quality overall from Elm and Hazel era. Very cheap but a greatly performers on daylight for that time. I didn't switch to any other trademark from then, but sure, there were issues every time with Sony's software processing, but by time they solved it in a way or another. Now I am a happy user of Xperia 1 mk4, and for in depth want-to-be professional creator for friends and a true DSLR to smartphone camera shooting Xperia needs improving. Sure, Xperia it's truly close to it and much better than any Samsung, Xiaomi or iPhone, but, the engineers of software needs a really close approach to the die hard users of Xperia testing, that you are also one of them, and maybe by you, we can solve some issues. So, my questions for you and Sony if they read your fan's, are: 1. Rotating the icons is a must-have for any kind of shooting. So, for Pro-i and mk4 models at least, please tell Sony to upgrade them. 2. Do mk5 has autofocus and manual settings, plus a much better BOKEH for front cam (ideal to have also for video…)? Mk4 front cam BOKEH shooting (64.1.A.0.891 version) is still so bad and really needs improvement by software upgrade. 3. Burned pixels for 1s speed in manual mode? Mk4’s still is suffering by this issue even with the latest upgrade, and now it’s almost one year from its release... 4. Filming in low light spaces like in a club with chaotic lights do mk5 has a better flash LED for it, face/eye detection, or it has better low light brightness for the wide sensor (at least)? Mk4 filming in dark spaces is a nightmare and its LED intensity is a joke, also the brightness is low by software processing only by HDR is somewhat ok (cinematic is useless for that dark in mk4). 5. It has brighter screen than mk4? 6. How much ISO it uses for night or low light shots? 7. Do you know an e-mail address for sending directly to Sony engineers for our testing or issues? So without all these the issues above not being fixed, the Xperia 1/5 devices are still very expensive and mk4 is hard to get still. Also, I have been using as a secondary phone the ACE 3 DOCOMO (SO-53C) device, brought by a friend of mine from Japan, and that SO-53C allows Gcam mods to apply so well that its 5 and 13 MP cameras can be improved to even better the mk4’s and more others Xperia! So please let Sony know that mk4 and mk5 really needs this Api2 front and rear compatibility for the money they still ask... With great admiration for you and Sony's amazing capacity to improve, Thank you so much for helping and answering!
Conflicted, half the videos are like yours where the basic point-and-shot mode renders fantastic results and then others, not so much... I'm a photographer and whilst I can really appreciate the manual modes on this phone I really do just want something which can render images fast, simply and decently like your demonstration did... otherwise I would just stick to my dedicated cameras. Your video has pushed me back into the want-to-buy camp... hopefully I wont be disappointed!
I'm using Galaxy S23 Ultra, but I definitely want to upgrade to the new Sony Xperia 1V :) Great video by the way. I just wished the video quality of the Xperia 1V could have been somewhat brighter.
I think you will love it! You can change the exposure setting to match however you’d like. I usually prefer to darken (-0.5) AE but you can change that easily
A very big THANK, to you, dear, Kohki for this excellent presentation of the new Sony Xperia 1 V! Much help to find out how this new mobile is working in the field of video and photographing! Wishing you both all the best! Friendly greetings from Sweden!
Omg i didn't know about the look-out in Yokohama but i think I've seen it from the tower. What a cool looking place and it looked fantastic on the new Xperia. I'm planning to buy one when it's cheaper (maybe black friday).
great with all the improvements and also even nicer with the lower starting price... i love what i see with it, but still a bit out of my budget... as for my current phone is the pixel 7 pro. very nice device... but really miss all these manual controls... they are awesome... and also hats off to the 120fps great video.
It is my main EDC, about 95% of the time, the other 4 is my nothing phone 1 and then my fold3. But thinking of getting a oneplus 11 because of those leica filters as a second phone, like others have mentioned the upgrades specially in thermals is big. I live in SoCal and I've had to learn to use my x1iv without a case because I couldn't record video in 4k for longer than 5-6 minutes before it shutdown and absolutely destroys my battery.
This video made by you makes everyone now understand the real capabilities of the camera of this thousand $ phone, and even myself having thought to buy this phone for my small videography gallery on my Instagram lol , very great camera review and test 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice colors. For someone who know how to use these cameras, can beat hell out of s23U and IP14M. If you tested the portret mode of the camera, please tell me how the bokeh are. Allso i haven't see the background blur on some shoots. I will be geateful if you make a video about bokeh on this phone. I think this phone will be the top 5 flagships of the year.
The biggest thing holding back this camera is the same thing holding back every phone camera; these high quality sensors are only being paired with the main lens which is generally relatively wide. The focal length is decent for most situations, but it really struggles with portraiture. Judging from these shots, you have to get fairly far from your subject to really avoid any noticeable distortion, and at that point it's feeling too wide for even most environmental portraiture. Someone needs to take sensors like this and put it behind something like a 50mm equivalent, even 35mm would be an improvement.
I can't believe the footage isn't post processed, looks absolutely stunning straight out of the camera paired with a stunning model :D
Yess it’s soooo true to life its very satisfying to rewatch the clips✨
it is crazy good for a phone not gonna lie.
The S cinetone.....that dynamic range....so much colors. The slow mo😢😢😢 They nailed it.
No phone can shoot slow mo without sacrificing quality meaning it shows 1080p or 4k, but the footage looks pixalated, dark and muddy.
Hats off to sony
This video demonstrates the improvements of Sony's camera upgrades better than anyone!
Thank you! I’m glad to hear that😍

- Start porting more photo and video picture profiles from the alpha cameras, every new addition is invaluable
- Include the strap hole the Pro-I has (I have a case to protect my phone that also supports a strong camera strap for smartphones I have, but it's so beautiful I sometimes just remove it to be able to see it, Sony does design better than a lot of smartphone companies)
- Improve the video algorithms to reduce the smoothness (this is pretty apparent when digitally zooming in and it could be better, but it also eliminates noise like no other smartphone)
- Give us the ability to shoot RAW on basic mode + the new night mode
- (If they haven't already) fix the low light raw color circle + softness problem
- Increase the telephoto's optical zoom range (there was a rumor about a 70-200mm module but it seems it was false or didn't make it in the device)
- Add clipping zebras for both highlights and shadow areas on all camera apps
- Give us the option for a digital button instead of the shutter button on advanced modes (I wouldn't prefer it over a physical shutter button, that's a huge selling point, but this way you can use intervalometer apps, which is HUGE for someone like me who's into astrophotography)
That's about it. I'm very impressed and looking forward to see this sensor tech spread. Another creator made a video that included a 2000 ISO jpeg shot in late twillight and it blew my mind how there was basically no visible noise at all. If I go over 200 ISO on my 5 III noise creeps in really fast.
Acabo de descubrir este canal porque soy fanatico de Sony, y me encantó el contenido, nuevo sub 🎉
Thank you!!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
Probably this year I will still use the Xperia 1 ii and maybe next year I will choose again Xperia. I really love this phone, the only downside is that Sony doesn't offer software updates like Samsung... and here I can include photo/video apps also, not just the OS.
You can shoot some nice bursts with these phones and when you have small children or pets, it's a game changer.
Nice review ;)
Just found your channel after doing extensive research on the Xperia 1 V. The quality of the photos and footage are amazing! I've been a professional photographer for a number of years and have been using Sony cameras ever since the first alpha. When smartphone cameras got good enough, I loved having a smartphone that had a capable camera with me (my favourite was the Huawei P60 Pro, I found it had incredible dynamic range) Interestingly I've only ever owned 2 'Sony' phones, the Sony Ericsson P900 and the Sony Ericsson W200i (DEFINITELY showing my age lol)
But the last few years, I got phones that dealt more with computational photography and achieved good results as a quick point and shoot. Then, in the last few years, I went with foldable phones, to ease my workflow for my main career. My current Galaxy Fold 3 has seen better days, but the turning point happened yesterday, when my department at work had a baby shower for one of our colleagues. Everyone in my team knows I'm a photographer (unfortunately I forgot to pack my Alpha IV in my bloody bag) and was looking at me to take some photos and video, but I was so embarrassed with the camera quality of the Galaxy fold 3, I 'left' it at my desk.
Unfortunately, I was persuaded to go fetch it and take some photos.... and after going through the photos...I really should've left it at my desk!
Anyway, I'm out of contract and was looking for a new phone last night, did a tone of research and I think this Xperia would be what I actually need...especially after a photoshoot I had 2 weeks ago, I've been thinking of buying a monitor. Now after seeing this amazing video, Platinum Silver Xperia 1 V pre-ordered!
I just hope I didn't jump the gun before the new Xperia Pro II is announced and turns out to be substantially better....
The Kohki and Irina vids are my favorite
Thank youu🚀✨
This was amazingly shot! Awesome demonstration
She so cute that everyones forget about the phone, whe're here for the xperia. The cutest Instagram model i have seen. ❤
Just preordered. Upgrading from the 1 III. Sony phones are underrated
Irina 💚 Kohki 🖤 Xperia
Damn, such a good camera on a phone, this is too good, the colour is really punchy but in natural way, with a good skill and a nice spot, nothing can stop sony 🥰
This is so beautiful ! Waiting for Xperia 5V.
That was great upgrade on the camera and video.. must get
Thank you! Yes it’s a great year to upgrade for sure. Even if you have the 1 IV
I got the S23 Ultra and even I'm tempted to try this thing out.
Finally back 🙌 and with Irina 👌🏽
Yesssss👍🏼🚀
really nice shots🤩
Dearest Ko,
We are many Xperia fans around the world, mostly in Europe, and we are really appreciative for the work you are doing with Sony devices. But many of us are not creators for YT, but are making money for different occasion between friends. As I being among them, more a non-virtual creator (a more personal one), I used Xperia and fell in love with the quality overall from Elm and Hazel era. Very cheap but a greatly performers on daylight for that time. I didn't switch to any other trademark from then, but sure, there were issues every time with Sony's software processing, but by time they solved it in a way or another.
Now I am a happy user of Xperia 1 mk4, and for in depth want-to-be professional creator for friends and a true DSLR to smartphone camera shooting Xperia needs improving. Sure, Xperia it's truly close to it and much better than any Samsung, Xiaomi or iPhone, but, the engineers of software needs a really close approach to the die hard users of Xperia testing, that you are also one of them, and maybe by you, we can solve some issues. So, my questions for you and Sony if they read your fan's, are:
1. Rotating the icons is a must-have for any kind of shooting. So, for Pro-i and mk4 models at least, please tell Sony to upgrade them.
2. Do mk5 has autofocus and manual settings, plus a much better BOKEH for front cam (ideal to have also for video…)? Mk4 front cam BOKEH shooting (64.1.A.0.891 version) is still so bad and really needs improvement by software upgrade.
3. Burned pixels for 1s speed in manual mode? Mk4’s still is suffering by this issue even with the latest upgrade, and now it’s almost one year from its release...
4. Filming in low light spaces like in a club with chaotic lights do mk5 has a better flash LED for it, face/eye detection, or it has better low light brightness for the wide sensor (at least)? Mk4 filming in dark spaces is a nightmare and its LED intensity is a joke, also the brightness is low by software processing only by HDR is somewhat ok (cinematic is useless for that dark in mk4).
5. It has brighter screen than mk4?
6. How much ISO it uses for night or low light shots?
7. Do you know an e-mail address for sending directly to Sony engineers for our testing or issues?
So without all these the issues above not being fixed, the Xperia 1/5 devices are still very expensive and mk4 is hard to get still. Also, I have been using as a secondary phone the ACE 3 DOCOMO (SO-53C) device, brought by a friend of mine from Japan, and that SO-53C allows Gcam mods to apply so well that its 5 and 13 MP cameras can be improved to even better the mk4’s and more others Xperia! So please let Sony know that mk4 and mk5 really needs this Api2 front and rear compatibility for the money they still ask...
With great admiration for you and Sony's amazing capacity to improve,
Thank you so much for helping and answering!
That xperia 1V talks by itself. The colours are so rich and accurate.
Getting it for sure. Xperia 5 III here
Those colors mind blowing
Yess one of the best things about Sony!
Really impressive results 👍🏼
Thank you very much!
I think it just goes to show how a good photographer can use any decent camera, and take great photos
Okay this quality is sick and I love how the colors are so real :D Irina did such a great job in modeling tho
Khoki's intro video is epic 😊
Really enjoyed the video! Super raw and genuine, also love how the photos turned out with Irina. She is an amazing model (:
This S-Cinetone is really good.
shes beautiful. and shes perfect for making these type of videos, especially with a Sony camera!
kohki 🤝 irina combo 💥
🖤🖤🖤
The creativity of the user still required to get full potential of this phone.. and this how it works.. nice demo..❤❤❤
Conflicted, half the videos are like yours where the basic point-and-shot mode renders fantastic results and then others, not so much... I'm a photographer and whilst I can really appreciate the manual modes on this phone I really do just want something which can render images fast, simply and decently like your demonstration did... otherwise I would just stick to my dedicated cameras. Your video has pushed me back into the want-to-buy camp... hopefully I wont be disappointed!
I'm using Galaxy S23 Ultra, but I definitely want to upgrade to the new Sony Xperia 1V :)
Great video by the way. I just wished the video quality of the Xperia 1V could have been somewhat brighter.
I think you will love it!
You can change the exposure setting to match however you’d like. I usually prefer to darken (-0.5) AE but you can change that easily
A very big THANK, to you, dear, Kohki for this excellent presentation of the new Sony Xperia 1 V! Much help to find out how this new mobile is working in the field of video and photographing! Wishing you both all the best! Friendly greetings from Sweden!
Now now king in the world's Sony Xperia 1 v smartphone. Best photographer and better job... Thanks bro 🙂 i more impressive this video.
You are stunning. Unbeliveable out of the camera footages and photos. You absolutely pulled out great performances from this phone.
omg those results are pretty impressive!
Sony xperia fan here❤ nice video kohki😁
Will definitely upgrade to the 1 V!!!
And really nice photos of Irina👍
Omg i didn't know about the look-out in Yokohama but i think I've seen it from the tower. What a cool looking place and it looked fantastic on the new Xperia. I'm planning to buy one when it's cheaper (maybe black friday).
This is amazing! 🔥
Thank you!!
i been with pixel since day 1 .. i might switch to sony this time around .. totally impressed, waiting for reviews lets see .. thanks for the upload
As always amazing video and amazing photos! Always happy to see new videos!
Just curious how did met Irina ? Kinda interested in story :D
Irina is a dream
I love everything about it, the model, the camera, especially S Cinatone. I love good video quality and cinematic, wish i could have one🫡
great with all the improvements and also even nicer with the lower starting price... i love what i see with it, but still a bit out of my budget... as for my current phone is the pixel 7 pro. very nice device... but really miss all these manual controls... they are awesome... and also hats off to the 120fps great video.
made up my mind .. my next phone hehe .. im still using Xperia 5 Mark 1 .. excited to this Xperia 1 mark V !!!
Damn!! This looks something out of a sony APSC camera or something. Mind Blown!!!
Footage looks stunning! Love the colors, thanks for the helpful demo :)
Great video Kohki!
Thank youuuu
It is my main EDC, about 95% of the time, the other 4 is my nothing phone 1 and then my fold3. But thinking of getting a oneplus 11 because of those leica filters as a second phone, like others have mentioned the upgrades specially in thermals is big. I live in SoCal and I've had to learn to use my x1iv without a case because I couldn't record video in 4k for longer than 5-6 minutes before it shutdown and absolutely destroys my battery.
とてもわかりやすい作例でした。
一眼のようなはっきりとしたコントラストを持ちつつ、スマホらしく白飛び黒つぶれを程よく抑えている絵作りに進化したように感じました。
αユーザーとして、一眼のサブとして使えるような気がします。
だからこそ、超広角と望遠のキャリーオーバーだけが残念ですね…
ありがとうございます！
そう言っていただき幸いです！
I'm using 1 II and thinking of this 1 V now. hope the price is good
Oh I think it’s a great time to upgrade!
It’s a big upgrade even coming from the 1 IV
Looks great. I dont need spec reads. Just want to see what it can do.
Thanks for this.
Thank you! I appreciate it🙇🏻♂️✨🚀
The colour grading on the video is wild
Yo utilizo el Xperia 1 iii y este nuevo me ha dejado muy sorprendido 😮
🔥🔥Sony did the right thing with this phone
Beautiful video 💐💐💐👏👏👏
Like to see some Astrophotography with this phone. Good video bruv
The 30fps put together looked like a video omg that was so cool
Irina plus Sony camera phone = woah
really nice walkthru, lovely model too. haven't own any sony phones since the xperia z...
pretty good vlogs, pretty informative, good job!
The quality so good. Finally sony beat the iphone
Sony Nailed it this time
This video made by you makes everyone now understand the real capabilities of the camera of this thousand $ phone, and even myself having thought to buy this phone for my small videography gallery on my Instagram lol , very great camera review and test 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice colors. For someone who know how to use these cameras, can beat hell out of s23U and IP14M. If you tested the portret mode of the camera, please tell me how the bokeh are. Allso i haven't see the background blur on some shoots. I will be geateful if you make a video about bokeh on this phone. I think this phone will be the top 5 flagships of the year.
やるじゃんジジー🔥 Came out great! ジジー x イリナ
サンクスジジー when’s your video coming out lol
Love the thumbnail for this vid!
Awesome 👍👍 I'm having a hard time finding an Xperia. But I will 😂 Hi Irina 🎉🎉🎉 Great job🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!🚀🚀🚀
Can't get it until July, from Amazon. Great review.
Uu so the Xperia 5 mark 5 will be legendary! 💪
okiii .. sony is bringing the 1 incher ... it s on my list!!!looking only at sony , samsung or the pixel
Great review video! ❤
Best video I've seen yet!
Thank youuu!
The biggest thing holding back this camera is the same thing holding back every phone camera; these high quality sensors are only being paired with the main lens which is generally relatively wide. The focal length is decent for most situations, but it really struggles with portraiture. Judging from these shots, you have to get fairly far from your subject to really avoid any noticeable distortion, and at that point it's feeling too wide for even most environmental portraiture. Someone needs to take sensors like this and put it behind something like a 50mm equivalent, even 35mm would be an improvement.
