The deep intelligence of Sony engineers and their experience in the field of cameras makes most people not understand these many features and they are not appreciated. This is the smartest camera in a phone that I have seen in my life . Steve Jobs was a fan of Sony cameras, and I remember that Steve Jobs used to visit Sony factories and meet senior Sony engineers with the aim of improving iPhone cameras, and let's not forget also that Tim Cook also went there to see the new Sony sensors ..It's a shame that Sony is underestimated because of some TH-camr who throws bad words about Sony cameras because he likes another product or doesn't know how to use this camera.
Their camera apps are so much easier and intuitive to use than camera apps found on other smart phones. How are the raws on the V compared to raws on the IV? It would be great to see a comparison video.
I like the style of presentation in this video! Very informative and easy to understand. Great content Juan. I'm wondering if I should upgrade from my Mark II. 🤔
You always come through. I love the diss toward some of these "reviewers." This phone gives a photographer every option they could need to make a photo they want. I love it.
@@SomeGadgetGuy exactly. We are on the 5th generation of this device and Sony has only added more camera features. But from a basic platform, they have expanded since the mark I. I see these reviewers every year giving basically the same reviews and doing "camera tests" in full auto all the time. It's just pointless to me. They know it's a niche phone, yet they treat it like a pixel, iphone, or galaxy. Either way, I'm happy there are a few niche reviewers who actually review these devices to their fullest extent
The object tracking of Xperias has improved a lot in the past 4 years. The focus of my old OG Xperia 1 starts to wonder immediately after locking on to an object, but these new models just lock on to the target.
On my 1 iii, I spend most of my time in Shutter Speed Priority. I really value how Sony continues to provide additional input modes. I'll probably get the Xperia 1 Mk 6 or 7.
It's so important to show how you can still have extra control without needing to everything also... Thanks for always making solid videos on these features...
I had been intimidated for a while to shoot any kind of content and had been forcing myself to use manual mode the entire time. Im gonna try and shoot more stuff in auto to see how it comes out. Thank you again for covering Sony phones. I probably wouldnt have my 1 iii without your videos
Sony is build for pro photographers not for rookies who know nothing about cameras. Those who don't know what they're doing comes to make a silly review about sony cause they don't know how to go about the settings. Only your review and some other people's review i like. Keep it up 👍
Once upon a time, anyone who wanted to take a picture of grandma at her birthday party had to know what iso and shutter speed were. Now we're heading straight into the jaws of dystopia where we'll need an AI assistant to sing happy birthday. I think every reviewer who criticized Photo Pro app for its complexity contributed to this bright future.
I'm saving money to purchase this phone once it releases in my country and I'd just like to say a massive THANK YOU for providing such detailed information on what the phone is capable of through your videos. They've been a tremendous help in my decision making process 👍👍
Good job, dude!The Xperia software of the mark v is made for everybody.Again, I am so impressed of what they done with the camera and the nice features around it.
Juan. I haven't even gotten through the whole video yet and I am blown away. I haven't purchased an Xperia yet, but am considering one and this is so helpful to understanding the commentary about the camera apps. It gives the controls I am used on our DSLR camera. Thanks again and reminds me why I patreon!
Excellent explained how too use all 3 camera app specially for newcomers and you are some of the few reviewers that thrustworty i have seen alot of review from other you tubers and they only take take pictures in basic and then they compaire it with the 1V without mention the other options you have on 1V . Point and shoot can make you very lazy and it is mostly boring . Thats why i bourgth the Xperia 1V this phone is a joy to use thanks for the great video and keep up the good work .
@@SomeGadgetGuy Yes, and it really makes you think about something you alluded to: how much do they really know tech if they shy away from it? How much do they know photography (a big feature in today's phones) if they brush off powerful features? 🤔
@@myfakeguuglaccount8307 That's why I don't fully trust popular tech channels. Just because they have millions of subs doesn't mean they actually know what they are talking about.
This camera app is what I´d love to use on my Fairphone 4! The Open Camera app is good, offers a lot of settings (certainly more than the stock camera app - even in Pro mode).
What I really like about this video is the tone of voice that's very engaging, almost soothing if I were to read the manual on how to use this phone. I'm glad it's not bashing the brand as a niche product pointing out all of the marketing and consumerism inefficiencies. Thank you. 🙏🏾
I'm so happy they brought seamless zoom. (could be smoother but it's fine) That was one weird thing I didn't like about the last phone - you had to pick your lens before shooting "like a _real_ camera." But that's whats cool about a phone as opposed to a dslr, I don't have to "switch lenses." They are all there and should be able to all go at once if I really want. It opens up more possibilities - my LG V30 had a mode that shot with the selfie cam in the corner of the frame, so you can do a vlog style video right from the camera app itself.
In less than a month, the xSperia 1 Mark 5 has became the standard for photography and videography. I saw all the videos here on YT criticising Sony for the excessively complex camera app; I've been a professional photographer in the film era, and the Mark 5 has been the first phone where I have the possibility to use all the experience I have as photographer. I can only imagine why non-professionals are calling for a dumbed-down experience - like the Apple-Samsung-Google photo app provides to casual users. Well done, Sony...
One Question I have about the Sony 1V that nobody seems to answer ist, that it says it has a 48megapixel main camera, but does bin down to 12mp. So can't I take 48 Megapixel photos? It would be important, for example, if I got to a museum, and take a picture of a painting, its very handy if I can still read the little badge about the painter etc on it. Currently I am using my xz1 (since 2017), and it has 19mp, but often I can barely read the text, when the paintings become bigger and I have to go aways. Its meant as a mental note for me. Also, does the 1V have a feature where I can still have a on-Screen shutter button in the pro mode in landscape view? Its not that I would use it anyways, the physical Shutter button is my to go USP for the sony anyways, but If you hand somebody the phone they are probably too stupid to take the photo (Had this often with the XZ1 too, when It would decativate the camera after a few seconds). Does the pressing of the Shutterbutton with the phone in Stand-By still bring my straight to the camera? That would be very important to me, because I always liked going straight to the camera for a quick shot, without fiddling through the login.
Hello Juan! Do you know if Sony will update their phone updates like the security patches? Haven't had a Sony phone in a while. Thank you! As always, you give great and informative videos! 😊
Im considering upgrading to this from my Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra. I newer really understood all the comments about the need to use the manual mode on the Xperia, to make it realy great. Because every tine i try to make exposure changes on my Xiaomi. The hdr and wide dynamic range kicks in, and makes the changes almost unnoticeable. I can see that you can adjust the level of hdr/dynamic range on the Xperia, which I find very useful.
Yeah bro, try to learn what is the exposure ( mixed of iso, shutter speed and apperture ) but the apperture in sony camera is not variable yet, it is still in fixed apperture... So by understanding this exposure you sure will get the best photos from sony that can beat all of the noobies auto photos phonr out there hehe😁.. goodluck
Great run through. Thanks 👍 I can see that the apps have been updated quite a bit since my Xperia 5ii, and in ways that really make a difference. So looking forward to take delivery of my 1V soon 😁 Fingers crossed.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra vs Xperia 1V -- Let's have a one hour comparison video of both going head to head in all areas. That should be a seriously fun video to watch. 😄😁
With Filmic going subscription, it's nice to have the option of a phone with similar levels of control (though still not exactly there with color and exposure granularity in shot) and similar features like focus peaking and racking, better mated and optimized to the hardware. It still irks me how any company can give you a video mode where you CANNOT tap to focus or expose for fully a third of your frame and think that's job done. Almost ANY aftermarket solution is better. But they often don't have access to the full range of resolutions and frame rates of the phone. Sony is doing it right.
It's such a shame that the Android camera API is still such a mess. Hoping we see improvements to apps like MotionCam, but Google has to lead that development.
Thank you so much for this detailed review. I'm now more than convinced to buy the Xperia 5v when it comes out. These Sony phones are amazing. You really did Sony big time justice & they should reward you with some sort of collaboration/partnership because you're doing better work than their marketing department. All these other youtubers were just doing the easy way out & saying these phones aren't good & too pricey. Too pricey I can agree there, but not good, i don't agree
Absolutely fantastic video and break down. I really have no patience or time anymore for TH-cam "tech reviewers" who act like they just can't figure out the camera system. Or they literally are incapable of doing so. As you say they are simply displaying that they are not good at either photography or tech. I'm no tech guru by any stretch if the imagination and I figured out the Xperia camera system after a few hours of playing around with it. Far too many TH-cam "tech reviewers" literally don't know how anything works outside of an iphone. But that just means they know nothing. And are thus a waste of my time. Why on earth would I take photography advice about any device from someone that only knows how an iphone works? That would be like me getting advice on high performance cars from someone that only knows Volkswagen cars. Just utterly asinine.
It kills me every time one of them complains about something basic on an XPERIA, but then shows off their cinema grade mirrorless camera to shoot CRISPY b-roll... K... 🙄
@@SomeGadgetGuy great point. Not only do most of them film their videos on mirrorless cameras.....they do so on Sony Alpha cameras!. So it's even more baffling. But imho it's by design. I believe they have a financial incentive to essentially do FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) marketing on other brands that are not Apple or Samsung. They did this all the time with LG phones too...
Could you do a detailed comparison of the different Video Pro SDR/HDR color modes? I would love to see how the HLG/BT.2020 holds up when when color grading in Resolve and if it's true 10bit footage. I feel like nobody else seems to care about that, but I would find it really interesting to find out if one can make it look like an alpha camera shooting SLOG3!!!
I get that a simple point and shoot experience is easier but I don't get why people say Sony camera apps is convoluted. Did people forget learning exist? Obviously there's the simple camera app for everybody else to use. Ofc the debate between cameras and phones exist but nobody would bring a kilogram worth of cameras every time. But having similar controls to a camera is very useful especially when you want to adjust a setting or two. Would've been nice if they can add it to their apps like any others do but it may cause some unnecessary changes. It's a learning curve but it will help you get used to camera terms and settings when you do go cameras.
I can understand a consumer being intimidated, but I find it REALLY problematic when reviewers complain. Those same reviewers that shoot CRISPY b-roll from their cinema mirrorless cameras.
@@SomeGadgetGuy that's another fair point there. They can create great cinematography but can't on the same but smaller platform? I know it's a smartphone but it's basically a camera in a phone. How is it any different from other camera phones like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra or the Vivo X90 Pro Plus. It's basically those two without too much computational photography. Instead of the phone taking over, you are the driver. You set destination, you set your gears and your off to your destination. But all people want is a free ride. I'm not saying the Xperia is a perfect phone but if they really want to review this as another generic device, what exactly are they telling their customers?
The downside of having three separate apps is that it consume more internal storage space than a single Camera app. However, the upside to it is that each app can be perfectly tailored to its intention. If I want 21:9 4K, I go CinemaPro. If I want 16:9 4K, I use VideoPro. If I want Alpha-grade manual control, I use PhotoPro. Of course you can cram everything into the single Camera app, but it can end up being all cluttered and messy.
Love your work and attitude. I havent been so much i CP and sees that i get what i wanted in the basic video. My 1iii are still more than i need and its a phone that keeps deliver and learn you more. And its not hard to shoot a good photo. Its just more fun. 1 v seems to be more for shooting films. For now im not so sure if i will buy the 1v or if i have to. Great work!
Thanks for this video! I’m more of a pro sports photographer and I’m thinking of getting this phone. Have done any videos on using this camera with like and a74 or A1? Or any Alpha cameras between these models.
Great overview on the ui and functionality. Just wondering if it is possible to record video or take photo with all three cameras at once? Is there any app for that?
LOL sadly no. Sony is a somewhat.... Charmingly arrogant company? They look at the selfie camera mostly as a way to do video calls, which is why I like them so much personally. They improved the selfie camera last year, but you can see how the engineering team is overwhelmingly pushing the rear camera performance.

Sony phones, teaching people how to compose their photography and videography
Really..👍👍

Both are damn good. V is slightly better due to more advanced sensor

The phone have a macro mode ?
Great tour, great arguments why to get it. One question, did they also finally add 16:9 in Cinema Pro or is it still just 21:9?
What a deep review resp👍

Does the pressing of the Shutterbutton with the phone in Stand-By still bring my straight to the camera? That would be very important to me, because I always liked going straight to the camera for a quick shot, without fiddling through the login.

The fake reviewers guest learning man what is the point of using technology if you're not going to learn?
Excellent video thank you. Recently got the 1iv for £550, and most of what's on here applies exactly to it. Very helpful.
Nice buy!
The downside of having three separate apps is that it consume more internal storage space than a single Camera app. However, the upside to it is that each app can be perfectly tailored to its intention. If I want 21:9 4K, I go CinemaPro. If I want 16:9 4K, I use VideoPro. If I want Alpha-grade manual control, I use PhotoPro. Of course you can cram everything into the single Camera app, but it can end up being all cluttered and messy.
SD card expansion would solve that problem... Oh wait, it has that!
Now imagine one UI space
Hey, Juan. Thanks for the review. And what is the name of the background music in this video? 🤔. Thanks
Love your work and attitude. I havent been so much i CP and sees that i get what i wanted in the basic video. My 1iii are still more than i need and its a phone that keeps deliver and learn you more. And its not hard to shoot a good photo. Its just more fun. 1 v seems to be more for shooting films. For now im not so sure if i will buy the 1v or if i have to. Great work!
What stylus were you using? I liked how fine the point was.
do you have any suggestion remote control / grip that compatible with 1v ?
Can you made a video on how to pair the controller with each camera apps?
What kind of the stylus pen you use in this video?
Thanks for this video! I’m more of a pro sports photographer and I’m thinking of getting this phone.
Have done any videos on using this camera with like and a74 or A1? Or any Alpha cameras between these models.
Hi! I am interested in the stylus you are using. What is it called? Does the phone work with any Bluetooth stylus?
Anyone using these devices know if there is an intervalometer built in? Would that need a 3rd party app?
Please tell me what's the name of the touch pen?
Great overview on the ui and functionality. Just wondering if it is possible to record video or take photo with all three cameras at once? Is there any app for that?
is seamless zoom now also available to switch to selfie cam while recording? would be cool
LOL sadly no. Sony is a somewhat.... Charmingly arrogant company? They look at the selfie camera mostly as a way to do video calls, which is why I like them so much personally. They improved the selfie camera last year, but you can see how the engineering team is overwhelmingly pushing the rear camera performance.
Does it only shoot photos in 12 megapixels?
Im glad sony make that apps no need to invest some third party apps
Ikr. Some third party apps use monthly subscription service, and not everyone likes that.
How did you add the grid in VideoPro - driving me nuts.
