You can’t “master a sensor” when you can only shoot jpeg like in most Sony phones. Only recently did they add raw support to their phones.

[@SpencersStuffTV]

@@Kopetefish you can master as far as their software allows. That's more what I mean. If you take the time and actually make a conscious effort, Sony always made solid camera sensors that you could get incredible photos from. We are still talking about a phone in the end.

Night Mode will be coming as an update soon, along with RAW support. Based on how Sony's Night Mode performs on the mid range Xperia 10 II, we can safely sure it will be as good as any other phones' Night Mode at the very least.

[@dominikotocan1348]

I think RAW will only come for main lens. For some reason, having RAW support on multiple lenses is something I haven't seen in any (Android) phone, so my best guess is that it's not supported in Android OS itself and app developers can do nothing about it.

As a pro wedding photographer my next phone upgrade had to have a camera which had depth to it. This video has just sold this phone to me. I want more control over my photos and it looks like Sony have done the job. Great video.

[@stanleyhan5465]

Great video. Great capabilities in a camera not found on others. This video for people who knows about cameras and photography. For those who are asking for specs comparison or comparing with other phones, there are other videos out there. This phone has features that no other phones has. For example it can shoot 20fps and Eye focus (inclduing animal eye). This allows you to take moving or sports picture with great focus and 20 frames per second and the pictures will be sharp. You will never miss a moment. This is because this 1 ii uses a new dual pixel autofocus sensor (even though it's only 12 MPa). You cannot do this with samsung, apple or others. All other phones just uses the older technology dual phase AF sensors. Samsung S20 ultra has 108Mpa which is good if you want to take static pictures of your food, scenery, etc. But it also suffers from poor autofocus where your shots will be blurry. If you know about photography, this phone is for you.

[@RennieAsh]

Can you set a timer in manual modes? I'm not the biggest fan of using the dedicated button in lower light scenarios as it wobbles the phone, even on a tripod as you can see in this video.

[@sydsam]

Hi! Thank you for a great video! Big fan of the channel. In terms of comparison, can you maybe do, landscape, human portrait and moving subject? I’m really interested in seeing how what Sony can do in terms of dynamic range and how it handles contrasting scenes ( quite a few reviewers mentioned that highlights get blown out quite often. I’m also interested in how it does in terms of details, I’m a big fan of the natural approach they are taking with minimal computerisation, so it would be great to see how human skin looks, as many phones just blur it out. And of course your workflow with this phone and how you envision it’s going to change after Sony gets the raw support. Once again thank you for the video and keep up the good work!

When you get this phone, autofocus will be at the very least of your concerns. Meanwhile, that 108MP from that explosive brand is barely worth $200, even the $400 iPhone SE is doing a much better job.

If you do a camera comparison against other devices I'd like to see both the default and pro camera app in those results. The reason being is because I wanna see how well it works as a sort of point and shoot since phones position themselves as such. I also want to see how much of a differences in the kind of photo you can produce in pro mode when you decide on a specific look as opposed to letting the phone decide for you.

I'll use ProShot app. It's the best manual camera app ever made since Lumia days. The pure photos out of ur camera. No ai, no tint, oversampling. So recommended for raw photos.

[@honeysenpai377]

I think a camera comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the Sony Experia 1 ii vs apple/google/samsung would be nice to see. All these other companies have phones that are heavy in computational photography so things like HDR and high dynamic range situations look really good. However, the new Experia 1 ii seems to be a throwback to a traditional camera experience. Things like high FPS, fast autofocus, and long exposures are the hallmarks of that experience. I would love to see someone who is well versed in photography, actually use these parameters to show what this camera phone can do.

Samsung brought their mobile technology to their (now defunct) cameras and it was amazing but they gave up ...

But If I were to upgrade or get a phone that was serious for photography this would be the MINIMUM I would expect it to do/feature.

[@troy5568]

Before last year, Sony's Mobile Imaging Division is barely helped by their proper Sony Alpha Division, yet their cameras always have been keeping up with the competition. Last year was the first try of their collaboration, and it was successful for the most part. This year, they just brought things up even further and we can see the pay-off with this phenomenal camera setup. Forget the media who knows nothing about photography than just merely clicking the shutter button. The professional photographers themselves are far more impressed than anyone else, and definitely they're the ones who should be trusted when it comes to reviewing this phone's camera capabilities and not those biased and paid platforms.

I'm a casual but I'm looking to get a capable photo shooting smartphone and waited to upgrade from my OnePlus 1 (yes I know a dinosaur) to the Xperia 1 ii. I had been tracking it since it was announced and don't regret pre-ordering it, except Sony sent me an email June 17th to say the initial delivery date (June 18th) was moved to almost a month and a half later (July 31st). For the first time that I spend more than 500€ for a phone, I'm pretty disappointed in Sony's communication department. Thanks for the video though, I was waiting for it. I literally watch every Xperia 1 ii content on KZbin (except all the fake comparison videos). On that note, for your comparison video, I would personally like to see pictures of people in different lighting, moving subjects (people, objects, animals...), slow motion videos, regular videos and indoor pictures. Keep up your great work.

Their Auto Mode is set to deliver the same natural images as they do on the Photo Pro app, but with all settings controlled automatically by the phone. Samsung, Google and Apple basically taught everyone to be lazy mofos and made them believe that overprocessed images always look better. Worst yet, they compare their precious phones to an A7III and concludes that their phones are better just because of better dynamic range (which is mostly done by software enhancement and not the camera's true potential). You know who's talking bullshit when a real photographer highly praises this phone's imaging capabilities while the popular media talks crap about it.

[@root9065]

Phone is great, but I've seen noticeable pin cushion distortion on GSMarena's camera samples of the main lens and also noticeable on DPreviews's sample gallery. It's not super noticeable in normal/close up shots, but once you know it's there, it definitely nags at you. The issue here is that Sony went with an equivalent 24mm on the main lens (as opposed to 26mm on the previous generation). The distortion is on the main lens and I think it comes from the lens itself, but the 24mm focal length definitely doesn't help the situation. It's so bad that you can see the edge of buildings bulged as a bow. The problem is that Sony has distortion correction only on the ultra wide lens, and not on the main one in the camera settings, so there is no way to circumvent this thing, save for post processing. Perhaps something to look at in your comparison video would be distortion of building edges vs other flagships.

it has nightscene detection in the auto mode and in the stockcamera app and uses a longer exposure there so it does have some kind of nightmode. it just does not make daylight from a nightscene what google does.

Can you shoot 4k 60fps on the main photo app not the pro app?

Are we able to download sample photos

I would like to move from my Xperia One to the new Mark II, but in the meantime is there any indication that the PhotoPro app will be available & backwards compatible to the original Xperia One?

[@robertoconconi]

I'd like to see a comparison with the huawei P30 pro I really loved the camera in there, my mom has it, I was able to shoot some really cool images with that phone, I thought it was better than the xperia 1 I own, at least in terms of telephoto shooting. By the way do you know if the photo pro app will be available for the xperia 1? It seems really cool.

Supposedly the phone can be used as a screen for cameras like the A7riii, with touchscreen control and functionality. Can this be showcased?

[@ziginox]

No point, it's the exact same as with any other Android phone. The only exception with Sony phones is, you get a physical shutter button, and the two-stage press works on it. Nothing new about that, though. My Z5 and XZ2 both have it as well.

@@ziginox Wait what. Any phone can be used? Wow I had no idea 😅. Gonna try it with my Note 9 then!
