Welcome Back. Glad to see your new videos on TH-cam again.
welcome back! Loved the photos, they speak by themselves as you said!
Welcome back! Enjoyed the video as always
Welcome back Ulysses! Missed your uploads and your work!
So glad you are back. I’ve been using the Xiaomi Ultra14, and for the times I don’t have my ‘proper camera’ with me, it’s amazing.
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)
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.
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
Please bring back the powerful brighter Xenon flash.
yeah that's gonna be really difficult to do with how thin phones are nowadays lol.
Good to see you’re back 🎉
Welcome back mate!
So well made thank you
I've been using Sony Xperia for many years. It is time to take a break from the models, so I've been looking into Xioami. The first thing I look for in smartphones is camera features and photo qualities.
Great sound at this video! Please tell more about your audio setup?
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
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
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
hes backkk
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
It's like my Samsung Galaxy Camera plus the phone features like calls and updated OS. ❤❤❤❤
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.
Whoa! you've been missed.
The photography kit also allows you to fit 67mm filters
As you mentioned, is there problem with focusing subjects?
ninguna mencion hacia el modo log ? me interesa bastante
To think yesterday I was like "Ulysses hasn't posted anything in a while, I wonder if he's OK"
How did you take the photo @13:15? I'm trying to figure out how you got motion blur on one part of the frame but not the other without a flash. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to cause that.
It's reflected, and the surface had a curve to it. I tried to make it not too obvious :)
@@UlyssesAokiPhoto Thanks for solving that mystery.
Ulysses I miss you so much
❤
I bought this and it's camera s just wow...The only things I don't like is hyper os and the battery😢
How come the battery is weak even though the capacity is big?
If only it wasn’t a Xiaomi
Is it bad that despite the poor value and feature set compared to a compact 1", I still want this because it looks so good with the orange filter ring and camera grip mod? 😂
I'm kind of over retro camera designs, and this looks so sleek and modern.
Also, thanks for hiring a model. It really helps to bring life to the images and give a lot of credibility to what your saying, as well as supporting those who work around the photography industry. 🙏
😅but they didnt sell it officially in japan right
It's like Xiaomi took Nokia's Lumia 1020 from back in the day and adapted it to modern design.
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
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.
Also only the main sensor is type 1", the rest are Sony IMX 855 1/2.5"s which are significantly smaller.
@@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.
@@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)
@@Akahigep have you downloaded any sample dng and edit it using lightroom? Because you definitely sounds like you didn't.
the camera grip is the best thing about this - i wish my iphone had this. I am not too bought in with the Leica look, but the camera grip makes it into a Ricoh GRIII killer for me
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.
A phone has a camera but its still a phone because it can call and text. If a slr camera had the ability to phone and text, when does in become a phone. At what point does the Xiaomi become a camera that can call and text
Hi, can it shoot 50MP RAW?
Yes, only in main
Smartphones are compact cameras and replaced almost all of them except RX100 because of 200mm zoom. I like the larger screen compared to 3 inch of compact cameras.
unfortunate no weatherproof in the grip....... ...... .....
ps the phone has ip 68 weatherproof but NOT the grip
somehow i feel that "Leica" watermark and exposure setting on a white border, doesnt fit into real photographer. especially for a "real" Leica guy like you...
I had to include the watermark for the launch of this phone- not partial to the watermark personally
Why Xiaomi feels the need to "pay" for a review?! This is an impressive product and I am sure you couldve sell it just as well.
This wasn't intended as a review! I was involved with their launch. They also get access to the photos I've taken with the phone.
Or Sauna? 😂
Tell Sony to make a better one!👍
I'll tell bro
How can we remind Apple that the 1-inch sensor exists?
Offer to buy the next model for $2.5k. They might consider it, or maybe they will just take away the lock button and make the chassis magnesium instead. 😂
Why increase the price when people buy anything Apple throws at them?
I hope you will return to making real videos soon
Sadly overpriced as hell.... For a Xiaomi it's overpriced.
Anyways nice phone
if only you were good at photography
ah
Imagine spending your time to comment something like that on a video of a person you don’t like 😂 Get a life man 😢
