iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Pixel 9 Pro XL vs S24 Ultra vs Xperia 1 VI Camera Comparison

[@konradc12]

The Sony Xperia is a big disappointment considering the hardware. The user will need to manually adjust settings, so is not a good point and shoot. In video the Xperia 1 VI is just as disappointing. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is very consistent, Pixel 9XL Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra are good, but Xperia needs work! Imaging paying that amount and getting those results. Even my Galaxy S23 Ultra probably performs better!

[@Vhipir]

Oh no... Not a phone dedicated to auto shooting. Terrible.

[@paulolv7798]

@@Vhipir lol but I do wish for sony to put some effort in the auto space for those times when manual shooting is not applicable.

[@peterharwood5705]

He must have it set different to my Xperia 1 V1 because it doesn't look anything like his review and the video settings he must have had it set on nostalgic mode for it to come out like it did,yet another reviewer who doesn't know how to use it.

[@RedstoneinventeArmoredGuy]

He didnt even use the macro mode on the Xperia when comparing macro shots... Speaking about fairness

[@peterharwood5705]

@@RedstoneinventeArmoredGuy yes how can you review a phone when you don't use it's strong points,also the video settings looked as though he'd got it set on the nostalgic setting which is why the video looks washed out,and out of focus because it definitely takes far better videos than this,I know because I have one.

[@danidarklord666]

Nice, but I think you need more info about the 1 VI. 1. It has optical zoom between 3.5 to 7.5. 2. Use the tele-macro mode for macro shot. 3. 4K 120fps recording is actually supported on all 3 lenses (including telemacro mode)

[@robinok1406]

Yeah thought the same. So it can take optical 5x shots

I noticed the same thing, how is he looking at the images and saying that is what my eyes saw? lol When the iPhone gets beaten by the other phones, he says you can edit the picture later to fix that. He will never say that about any of the other phones. @5:07

[@munawrsa]

The only phone that can record 4k 120fps on all 3 lenses is Xperia 1 VI. Xperia really isn't a "point and shoot" device, dialing down the shutter and iso on the pro mode will give you great shots, even better than what other top dogs can achieve, especially in low light. FYI, it has a telephoto macro lens which is one of the best macro lens out there in the market. The normal tele shots aren't that good compared to others. Anyway, great comparison.

[@lltechview]

Xperia 1 VI has a 5x optical zoom. The zoom is going from 3.5x zo 7.1x optically. Further on the Xperia 1 VI can shoot 4k 120fps on all camera lenses. Not sure why you said it can do only 1080p in Slo Mo

[@trometer19]

Too the reviewer if you do a review please do it properly the Xperia 1VI can shot video in 4 K with all of its 3 back cameras .

[@peterharwood5705]

@@Marcus-tx7ht far far better taking photos and videos especially the video comparison which was dreadful,if mine were taking videos of this quality I'd have sent it back,I can only presume even though he was using auto he must have had the nostalgic setting on which does make videos look like this, it's not ment for general purpose use,photos again even though he was using auto again he must have had some preset on in some photos, I've had mine for 3 months the only complaint I still have is that the telephoto zoom is slightly soft at the very long end apart from this it's a great phone, and camera,and the telephoto macro lens gives you some incredible detailed close up shots,again something which he didn't use,why do people put videos up of a certain cameras which they clearly do not know how to use??

[@antonyvengooran7966]

U gotta do more research on Xperia. It can record 4k 120fps across all 3 lenses, not just limited to main sensors like the other two

[@yureino]

Do you know what “crushed” means?? It means all the details in the shadow area are GONE. Just because the iphone picture seems darker (higher contrast), doesnt mean the details are gone, or “crushed”. Brighten the picture, and you will know that the details are preserved. Just like a raw file image is taken, they seem overexposed, but after the color grading is done, the details are still there. Learn the difference??

[@davout5775]

Idk man, the iPhone was extremely impressive. Easily the sharpest, most detailed most of the time and the most color accurate. Apple did an amazing job there for sure

[@jcpesa19]

The thing with the hazy thing in some of 1x photos in S24 Ultra is the fact it creates a moist or unnecessary dirt on the 1x lens, and no cleaning up added that affect the overally quality of the photo, just to bear in mind before taking photos at any lenses.

[@Bayliancollins]

I have Xperia 1 VI and i don't know why it looks different from you. I have great shots and videos with the VI. Well like a photographer said, if you are going to compare phone cameras do not take a video or photos all at once at the SAME TIME. Use it one at a time to be fair. Because different angles might result in a different color accuracy. As you can see you hold four phones at the same time and in that case, doing video shots might result differently from one another including wind filters, light disturbance, color grading production, sharpness, white balance and highlights. Same in taking photos, angles will help but taking it all at once at the same time, nah...

If you filmed it yesterday, I went to see the Spanish Galleon by Tower Bridge in the evening. I manage to take photos and videos. I cycled from Erith following the galleon, then got in place to record Tower Bridge raising twice. My S23 Ultra did a good job. The galleon was late, but I didn't start out until tracking showed it was in London. That would have been a good addition to the test.

[@konradc12]

Tommy, we met at the Photography Show and had a brief chat. Call me Uncle Kon.😂 You have brought in probably the most unique comparison, and one I have been waiting for, by including the Sony Xperia 1 MK VI. You may not put out much videos, but the ones you do are quality. Couple minor points, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 5x 50mp camera, it has to crop to 10x. The previous S23 Ultra has the 10x 10mp telephoto camera. I suspect it was a typo error, but you also state it @8:53. The Sony telephoto has proper optical zoom from 85mm to 170mm(3.5x - 7.1x), so is not digital cropping unless beyond the 170mm! The Xperia 1 VI makes the orange watch strap colour bright! I love the T shirt.

[@RennieAsh]

Only parts of subject in focus with macro - move backward to increase focus plane. Be sure to test telemacro modes as otherwise comparison is inaccurate. Crops to show details can help rather than trying to squint at 4x photos on screen. iPhone, pixel and Samsung were using "pro" raw modes. It can be useful to compare regular raw modes.
