Sony Xperia 5 V Photographers Perspective!

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

I think the photos are really outstanding for a smartphone - they're much more like a camera than normal smartphone pictures.

[@Jokerchan7]

Maybe because it's not the ride it's the rider 😊

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

@@Jokerchan7 Yes that is correct. But with the Sony you can become a rider.

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

Not inky as camera as well, it's also the closest to a camera in video quality as well, at least before Apple release raw support with theirs, It's huge file in comparison tho.

[@namelesssnitchy]

so much things to like about this phone even when you are not a photographer. I use the auto mode for like 95% of the time with my xperia 5ii. The rest of this phone is just amazing. also the front firing stereo speakers are amazing.

[@pt020]

I also still use the 5ll , made a mistake last year and got me the Samsung flip 4, Nice hardware but the software is a mess.. went back to the Sony on the same day... but sooner or later I will need a new phone, it will be this one or even 5Vl.

[@jeffrey_jpeg]

I love what you taught here. Not only did you deliver a great review. You also showed that you can put in more effort and get great shots. A great device and review!

[@MrOrtmeier]

Well explained. You nailed the Sony philosophy. I have the 10iii and it's a budget phone but the same principles apply to the phone. Auto in daylight is great for most people but low light is not great. Honestly I never need to take night photos so it doesn't bother me. Sony make fantastic phones and I love the 21:9 form factor - so compact to hold and use but still lots of screen. And their displays are great quality.

[@michaelsmit7619]

Looks good and some great picture's how much time did you put in to this video i always feel like you put a lot of work in to it keep up the good work

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Thank you Michael!!! :D and it takes a bit hahaha, the trip was like around 2.5 hours there and then 2.5 hours back xD then edited, changing how I want the narration to be and so on xD sooooo in basic terms.... no clue xD

[@janjamesramos247]

Nice video. I'm planning to really shift from Pixel to Xperia. Where do you edit your photos again? on computer or phone?

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

I edit my shots on lightroom (pc) :) and thank you!

[@mxkmn]

Lightroom for Android shows very similar result but faster and easier to use, check it!

[@JamesJonesTech]

I’m really interested to see if they add more lenses to the cameras in the future models. Great breakdown bro you got some really great shots! You live in a beautiful place!

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

I think the step they are doing with the 5 is fine by me, though I would have prefered a telephoto over an Ultra wide these days (funny enough in the past it was the other way around hahaha) And thank you about the shots ^^

[@joelconolly5574]

​@@ThroughJermainesLenshonestly the fact that they removed the telephoto baffles me. It's been there for 4 generations and then they decided to remove it on the 5th. I'd rather have that they in sensor crop. Let's hope the 5 VI gets it back 😤

[@JamesJonesTech]

Watching on my lunch break brother! Have been intrigued by this phone for some time glad the deep dive is here 🔥

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

How was your lunch ^^? and thank you man!

[@JamesJonesTech]

@ThroughJermainesLens it was fantastic, thanks! Being able to watch KZbin uninterrupted every day for that time is much needed. 2024 is going to be a great year for phones. Hoping we see real camera advancements and innovation instead of slight updates

[@umaraslam7731]

I like what the Xperia 5 v offers. it sucks that the tele got removed. But with the upgraded main sensor, I'm ok with that. I might have gotten this if they sold here in the U.S. .

[@rejhonsantillan7760]

I remember back then when people were crying about 5V's tele removal and yet they eventually cried for the 48mm lossless crop zoom to be added to 1V

[@umaraslam7731]

@@rejhonsantillan7760 I mean it's stupid that Sony won't add it to the 1mk5 since it uses the same main sensor.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

thing is, cropping in is not the same as a telephoto, the lens stays a wide sensor, so for instance take a picture of a person will still have the widelens effect.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Yeah the main sensor is nice! I do think I prefer the Xperia 1V a bit somehow in main sensor, but hard to say because cannot directly compare the 2 ^^

[@ArquerO53]

​@@ThroughJermainesLensNot really, that's not how the vision cone of a camera works. By cropping the sensor you also effectively crop the vision cone to effectively the same as if you used a longer lens on the full sensor. In fact, the "wide angle effect", or perspective, is independent of the lens entirely. Perspective is changed by the distance from the focal plane (the sensor) to the subject. When you recompose to have the subject be the same size in the frame, you need to mover further away with a telephoto. The 2x crop mode also requires you to get further from your subject to get the same composition. This is the physical reason why a crop sensor camera and a full frame camera can have the same perspective and field of view with lenses of different focal lengths.

[@ragevl7201]

the phone looks so aesthetic

[@pt020]

It is a very good Camera,I will buy one when the price will be more friendly.

[@rogiervanlierop]

This approach wil get the photographer out of the user instead of let the phone decide. It will result in much nicer photos. Non photographers are better of with a point-and-shoot approach, but these photos will never be of the same level. I'm convinced, also by this great review, and will order mine soon!

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Verrryyy true!!!! And nice one!!!! Do you post that stuff somewhere when it comes to photography:)?

[@vikaluksena]

everything about this phone is right for me! it just needs a 3x or 70mm telephoto

[@spirittravels.]

The photos are great. Can you give a really simple explanation about what sort of parameters you would set on the Sony taking a photo to later on? Edit in lightroom. Is there any free editor that he would recommend also. Thanks.

[@Spike626721]

Will you get the new released sony too? Would like to hear what you think about the changes in the camera app. Also their middle class phone since it gets their exmor sensor for the main camera.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Thank you!

[@fr0xk]

Their cameras outshine those of Xiaomi, Samsung, and even Apple, not to mention compact APS-C mirrorless cameras. The photos captured aren't overprocessed, cartoonish oil paintings like the ones from Xiaomi, Samsung, and Apple. You can literally print Sony smartphone camera photos on a large scale for your house wallpaper, a feat only DSLRs or MFT cameras can match. Perhaps Apple will persevere with ProRAW, but there's this.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

I would remove xiaomi from that these days to be fair^^

[@fr0xk]

@@ThroughJermainesLens Shit, I mistyped that. I take that back. Xiaomi 13 series kicking my a**

[@Topdealmaker]

Is it good and easy to capture photos from pro mode for normal photos? Ur photos looks outstanding

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

it REALLY depends on the situation, while the auto mode will deliver some nice shots, you get the most out of this phone by using manual mode.

[@Topdealmaker]

@@ThroughJermainesLens make some tutorial videos on how normal people can use manual mode, tweaking different settings in different conditions

[@vsmh96]

I wish more camera centric phones had the same dedicated shutter button like this and the old days Nokia Lumia series. The 3.5mm jack and Micro SD cards are missed as well. On a different note, whats your philosophy on editing? In another way, im curious as to how and what you decide on the final outcome to be? Do you slide the sliders and get something thats pleasing or do you more or less have a style? -from a person that hasnt really ventured into editing pictures

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Mmmm honestly i am still learning my process on editing as well, but when it is a rainy shoot i often go for a more "moody" approach, so more contrast, less bright and bit more dark vignette, colour style depends. But that is the current me 🤣 if i go somewhere with mountians and ribers like in Switzerland i'd probably go for a bit of contrast, edit the water to be a bit more colourful and so on. So it depends a bit on the situation:) For the sliders yes mostly, if it for a VERY limited amount where i am pleased with what adobe thinks I should do with it, heck can't remember a shot where i basically just clicked a recommended one and didn't do anything to it.

Great Samples as usual. So it is Me again and this time I wanted to ask: how does this Phone compare to the Xiaomi14 and the Oneplus12? Asking because the Xperia is £740 and the 14 and 12 are both £800 in The UK currently. Asking because for whatever reason the Samples of the Xperia impress Me the most.

@@ivonikolov8709 hahahaha 🤣 hello again!!!! You are really struggling to find what you want for you camera ha?^^ Question does the size of the phone matter? And do you plan to zoom in a lot with pictures?

[@ivonikolov8709]

@@ThroughJermainesLens So as far as Size is concerned I am fine either way. I am 1.9m tall and have Big Hands but wouldn't mind a Smaller Phone. I currently have Samsung A35 and it is a Large Device. As to Zooming a lot I am an absolute Amateur as far Photography goes so I guess I will not be zooming that much .

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@ivonikolov8709 mmmm ok, have you considered the Sony Xperia 1V? Sure there is a bit of a learning curve to it, and you get the best out of it by using manual, but that could be interesting? Now for the oneplus 12 I think the overall package looks really intresting and shots I have seen are solid, but I haven't tested it so cannot give a fair rating for it.

[@ivonikolov8709]

@@ThroughJermainesLens The 1V is even better but very expensive, it is in the region of £1200/1300

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@ivonikolov8709 Ok yeah that's exspensive. Ok let me say it this way, I would pick the Xiaomi 13 Pro for the best quick auto shots that look and feel natural with a bit more of a dramatic look, The Sony Xperia 5 V I would pick if you want to get in depth with manual more to learn about that segment (which you can also do on the Xiaomi, but is different) And of course with the Sony you get that natural look as well, just less dramatic. Then we have the OnePlus 12, I think that I would pick when it comes to software, I think there OnePlus does well,l you get good updates, and in terms of Camera from what I have seen it is solid! But doesn't go for that same natural look, a bit more processed compared to Sony and Xiaomi. Als these will do you really well!

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Under basic you do have night mode yes, in auto it detects low light itself so no night mode, it just knows it is night so will have longer exposure to compensate, and of course manual is full self control

[@pdcichosz]

@@ThroughJermainesLens thx, I've just heard somewhere else that the 'night mode' is supposedly just long exposure, it doesn't do the computational photography tricks like other phones.

If long battery micro SD and headphone jack would I take the sony. Vent from Pixel 7 to Xiaomi 14 but only cause provider had not the Sony and could not change the provider. Could not wait cause the robotic voice after some minutes I got cause a software bug Pixel 8 users got to left I pixel as soon as I could.

After having the 5ii, 10iii, IV and having issues with speakers, green and purple lines destroying screens, reading about over heating and consist issues across the 10 / 5 / 1 product lines I am keen to see if Sony has improved their quality control? A $1300 phone should last longer than 1.5 years... I feel and I was - ripped off.

[@pdcichosz]

I have no business defending Sony but... Out of the phones I'm interested in, Samsung's last Galaxy had a lens issue and the previous one overheated and Google pixels are so riddled with issues from the get go that it's almost like a tradition now so I'm not sure there's a difference between Sony and anyone else. This gen should not overheat anymore as they've switched processors.
