    I wish phone manufacturers enbraced the 50mm focal length more. A few years back a few phones had dedicaed "50mm" lenses but now it's just a cropped version of the main, "23mm" lens which means pretty nasty images. What I'd give for a phone with a 1 inch sensor and a 50mm equivalent lens.... (this may be physically impossible without a 30mm thick phone, idk)

    • @-grey

      ZV1 II might be your style. 1" compact. You get a flippy screen, dedicated buttons and dials for efficient operation. Pocketable. It's not far off the G7X Ulysees recommends.

    • @WestVillage-vv3hg
      @WestVillage-vv3hg หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'd do a Nikon 1 J5 or J4, and the 18mm f/1.8 lens or the Samsung NX equivalent. They're dead systems, so they're relatively cheap on eBay. And it's a f/1.8 at 50mm-equivalent. Most compacts, ZV-1, LX10 etc.. have f/2.8 at the 50mm equivalent end.

      i have a xiaomi 14 ultra. The 50mm crop and the 23mm give you the same output 12,5mp, so you do not lose quality when you crop... they do the pixel binning and give you an output with the same quality in this two focal lenght... for the 35mm crop as well

    Good to see you back ❤ Phone cameras are becoming more and more impressive every like 2 years, sometimes every year, but you’ve mentioned one really good point - background separation(not bokeh) and depth of field, phone cameras really lack that. I’ve got iPhone 15 and G7X Mark II, no matter what I tried on my iPhone (FilmicPro, Blackmagic Camera and other RAW photo tools), it just never gives that heartwarming and film like photo or video quality like my G7X

    • @CianMcsweeney
      @CianMcsweeney 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yep, also, lenses, smartphones are really limited for space so the lenses tend to be terrible, they then try to make up for this with by over processing the image, even with AI a micro 4/3s camera with a decent lens still blows any Smartphone out of the water

    • @danielssancess
      @danielssancess 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yeah, absolutely 👍🏻 I mean my G7X with 1 inch sensor absolutely destroys any latest smartphone and it’s not even close, exactly as you’ve mentioned, lenses and space for lenses is too small on smartphones, also I’m 100% sure that lenses on smartphones are made out of super cheap materials and are nowhere near to lenses on cameras

    Hi! I entered in photogrophy because of you and that video of how to make photos look like film.
    I bought a Canon G9x Mark II but few months later replace it with a G5x Mark II.
    My question is do you really see this phone as a replacement for a compact camera? I'm pretty sure wide sensor is, and probably even better. But if you use zoom, which is most of the times for me, can hold smaller sensor and computational photography vs a compact camera?
    Thanks a lot and I love your videos

    Finally! A video drop. Nice street photography shots.
    Regarding the grip, they have the angle by the fingertips all wrong. With my hand hanging down, I would like the grip to be able to hang on the tips of my fingerstips. Without the strap, it has slipped out of my hands many times.
    The kit does make the whole Device bulkier and heavier, so I stopped using it altogether especially since when using filters, it adds reflections and also bounces a red light back into itself.
    Also, I don't like how the shutter works, especially compared to the dedicated shutter of the Xperia 1 V, which more companies should adopt since the camera system is a heavily-focused part of their devices.
    And I don't know why no other phone than the Xperia 1 V has smaller focus points similar to that of a dedicated camera. Instead, you get this fat AF box that covers a large part of the sensor.
    Oh, and for being such a camera-focused phone, I wish they had PASM modes. I mean, with the main camera having a variable Aperture, why not? I at least really to be able to lock ISO to 200 in daylight, especially when it comes to these sensor sizes/qualities and the integration of Computational Imaging, which I absolutely hate.

    My problem with phones and 1 inch sensors is the lens doesn't cover the whole sensor. I'm sure it has light capture advantages but not like they should. So it feels more like a gimmick. I like the images tho, you can see some of the leica color signature

    • @shang-hsienyang1284
      @shang-hsienyang1284 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Really? Where did you read about this? I knew Sony made one that didn't cover the whole sensor and it was dumb, but I don't think Xiaomi, Oppo, or Vivo had this problem.

    • @saturnspike

      @@shang-hsienyang1284 nah, don't believe in the marketing hype-train from phone companies. The best thing of this cameras probably is the nice glass and lenses they use and the Leica color science behind. But that "one inch sensor" it has is for the main 50mpx camera. The other ones are significantly smaller.
      I started to suspect about it since I saw the samples. Those are not definitely from a 1 inch sensor with a proper glass covering the sensor.

    • @Akahigep
      @Akahigep หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@shang-hsienyang1284 nah, don't believe in phone hype-train. Pretty sure all of them are cropped. There is no physical space to cover the sensor with that small glass.
      This phone has a "main 1 inch sensor" and two more smaller. And that 1 inch sensor pretty sure is not full covered. I'm not dissing the cameras. I think they look nice and they make the best thing it can happen to a phone camera, nice glass and nice Leica colours. But in my opinion, that "one inch camera" doesn't look like one. Specially the bokeh factor.
      If you're thinking about buying a Xiaomi phone, beware about other "problems". Like ads within the os menus (you can deactivate it but is an annoyance)

      It's a quite a bit bigger than a GRIII. Plus it doesn't have the intelligent focus modes, like Snap and Zone Focus Priority, or the incredible lens or aps-c sensor, but I see what you mean.
