I have had the Xoeria I mark ii for three years. Its been a fantastic phone. This will be my next upgrade. Plenty of hardware and feature upgrades to warrant an upgrade.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Yea especially if you’ve have a three year old Xperia ☺️👌🏻

[@Sabundy]

@@thaticelandicguy I'm sure. I don't buy new gear of anything unless it's needed (I'm a cheap bastard). But this looks like an absolute beast of a phone, and a true step up from the mark Ii in every way.

[@akhilesh718]

I am also using mark 2 for the same period of time. I am not finding any reason to upgrade as this device doesn't have any issues till date. The performance is still top notch compared to the recent flagship. The camera department has improved a lot though.

I have still the 5II, it works perfectly fine. Have it Allways with me on construction ground. Just a rugged back cover, no display protection. I will see how long it will work 🤷🏻‍♂️ somewhen i will get a new sony xperia 5 😁 I need the 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro SD expansion, so samsung and many others are no option.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Super stoked to be finally able to share this video with you guys! Put a lot of effort into it and I hope you like it 😊 also if you could do me a solid and press that like button for me then that would be really appreciated.

[@abdullaabdulgafoor888]

Is the noise reduction computational thingy also baked into the raw files or is it just applicable for jpegs?

[@antvil]

It would be great if it could be synchronized with studio flash heads, I think technologically it should be very simple.

[@AlexA-ts8sq]

Vivo X90 Pro, or Xiaomi 13 Ultra better choice for pro photographers

[@MTBs]

Does it beat the Sony ZV-1 when it comes to filming? I really like the image quality from the ZV-1, after post processing it is very difficult to distinguish from a much more expensive camera. BUT I long for the day when a phone can replace my ZV-1. Thanks for a great video!

[@MTBs]

@@451greenwood So, it's that bad? 😂 Well, I do have a S21 (not Ultra) and it certainly doesn't beat the ZV-1.

[@ghostshadow-cu7vj]

I wish the Xperia would get so much more exposure than it gets. People are seriously sleeping on it or are sadly misinformed and missing out. It needs the support of the masses. I LOVE that sony is keeping the SD slot and headphone jack, plus the addition of double step shutter button is just game changing!

[@Errcyco]

No joke.. I got an Xperia Z2 in like early 2015 and that camera was incredible. Did 4K 60fps before I even knew what that was. The screen was incredible and so was the build. It and the z1 compact were great phones. I wish they did a release of that.. a Z2 with modern silicon would be amazing to get in 2023. It was their best designed phone by far.

[@thaticelandicguy]

they are great phones for sure!

[@stuartcollins82]

I loved my z2 compact, ended up bending it in half by accident (don't ask). Haven't had a sony since, but i've preordered this. Can't wait!

[@deneguil-1618]

Genuinely the first time a phone camera has impressed me, might consider getting one when my current phone dies but it'll still not replace an actual camera for me

Honestly I have been interested in getting a Xperia 1 V phone for myself as it does have few good points that I like and good camera is a really huge plus as I was thinking into taking pictures as some small minor hobby. Your video has been quite amazing especially compared to everything I have watched, feels great, great voice, tone and way of speaking, interesting content that is really on point. dropped a like and subscribed as well. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks very much for the review, answered a lot of questions and looks great. My last phone was the Xperia 5 II, a top notch phone. This generation looks to have bettered it, strong chance I'll be going back to a Sony 😊

[@md.faiyazjahannuhash319]

Its really good to see you with the new Xperia 1 V, I was wondering if you could bring us some comparison videos both in Photography and cinematography with the current flagships in the market. and how this beast stands in front of them. Secondly, I really do admire how you shoot and your shooting skills, If we the beginner photographer out in the world could get in touch with your raw photos that you take, also edit and practice and create a platform where we share our practice and work wouldn't that be great? This way we could actually share the skills and new dimensions of our practice and workflow! Cheers, Have a great day....

[@ed-schramm]

Will you be making a comparison video with the 4? Maybe a low light video comparison? If someone was a new user would you recommend the 4 or this new 5? Thanks so much. Really liked you showing multiple different shots/angles and stuff.

[@HomesickMac]

I know the most of the people would tell me to just go on using my Xperia 1 IV but hey, shiny new toy with many improvements as well as that so practical vertical video, topped with better low light performance... Will need to re-calculate the budget for the rest of the year.. Great images btw.

[@thisiscuvo]

I'm more impressed by the way you edit the photos, those amazing colors is a feast to the eyes

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you! However it was veeeery little edit done. Most of these photos were just JPEGS. Sony is advertising this as being now more beginner friendly and have put a lot of work into the AUTO mode. So I thought to myself that I might as well just try that mostly. And it turned out great ☺️🤘🏻

[@jparker8505]

Reading the comments, I would love to see comparisons using all the lens options straight from the camera both photography and video. I've the iv and with a tripod plus trying a few different settings i thought the night photography looked really good. Day images still look exceptional on the iv so I'd like to see how much the new computational a.i boosts the image quality. Sony ditched the 3D tof sensor that helped with tracking and depth I'd like to see how they compare to the v Also the quality of the burst mode between the 2 So many questions but id seriously upgrade if the computational photography boosts the other two lens options passed on from the iv I use my phone for so many things including image presentations and video The iv has been top notch in both so far !

[@ultramb6206]

that was actually a really good review thanks!

Thank you, and I love that! It's honestly no need to buy gear just to buy, for the sake of you just wanting the latest and greatest. However if your old Xperia breaks, then you'll be happy with this one for sure 🔥

[@OeHomestead]

It's looking very promising indeed :-) And it looks like you can set the ISO as low as 25 on the 24mm.. Schweet :-) How's the image quality compared to the IV? I find photos shot on the IV being a tad blurry, especially when using the 85-125mm. The same goes for the raws.

[@ollenilssonen]

Great video!! discovering northern lights after taking the photo. Just some regular Icelantic problems! 😂

[@thaticelandicguy]

[@thelensguy6050]

I just preorder it, it's very difficult to reach a conclusion in terms or performance, it depends on so many factors, however, having peaking, histogram, gyro, zebras, shutter manual up to bulb mode, hi speed with autofocus 30 fps, i think it was an easy pick even if it's not beating everything in terms of image appeal at first glance. I never post unedited anyways 😅 i am confident i can extract some amazing photos with it, can't wait for it to arrive

[@pepitorockstarmexico]

Hi Icelandic guy, great videos !!! 🎉 I have a special request, how about macro photography with the xperia 1 V? Can you gives is a example photos o even better a video about it? Thanks a lot 👍

[@andrewhamilton3486]

Such a great video. Thank you. Do you feel the IV is still s great phone/camera especially when comparing to say a S23 plus. Looking to upgrade from S10. Or should i soend the extra $400 here in Australia and get the V. Thanks

[@DamianNocun]

Great phone, i totally recommend it to everyone not pro's only. Sony is improving basic/auto mode to make it better for consumers. Battery life is also strong department of the phone. On top, it supports all high quality Bluetooth codecs for top audio quality. And this look and feel of the phone, simply amazing. It is my first Sony phone and i think it will stay with me for longer having owed few Galaxy and iPhones.

I like your Icelandic English accent... (maybe it's my first time to hear it). really cool!

[@ReassuringSmile]

I had the Xperia 1 mark 2, the cinematic video mode wasn't good with anything other than a sunny day. Low light was shit unless you bump up the ISO but it becomes grainy. When you record around florescence light, the camera screen flickers with it. I bought the Xperia 1 II for video shooting, it didn't impress me. I've also picked up Sony's pattern too, they take a very long time to update or even listen to their customers, they run things their own way.

[@alfredoalejandro87]

Hey man great video. I have been hearing a lot of good things about this new Sony Xperia V. I actually owned the Sony Xperia 1 Mark I and although it was a decent phone, the battery was iffy and the auto camera had very little computational photography which meant if I didn't want to delve into the camera settings I always got average looking photos. At the moment I have a S23 Plus but seeing as Samsung is going back to the Exynos in Europe in the future, I am currently deciding which phone I want to get through my next upgrade. My default choice will be Apple as it's a safe choice but this phone seems like it might hit the spot. The only things that are holding me back from Sony are Camera and battery performance. If it gives the S23 a good run for it's money, then I will seriously consider this phone!

[@flat-out]

It's a great phone if you really know how to use a camera meaning away from auto point and shoot type like iphoners and samsungs and the rest of the world type of users. Treat this like how you use a Sony A7 camera (if you have one) and you'll get fantastic results from manual control and editing photos properly taking time. I'm sure Sony is starting to cater to plain point and shoot camera users who would just shoot and post on stupidgrams.

[@DamianNocun]

After few updates , they improved Basic mode as well and photos now clear and crisp. Personally moved from S23 ultra, iPhone 14 pro to Xperia. Finally I have a feeling that I found a phone which is matching my expectations.

Where do you edit your videos? How can we edit videos we take with Xperia 1 V or 1 IV directly in the Xperia phone without loosing quality? Every third party app I tried so far is causing quality loss on my Sony videos when I try to edit it in the Xperia 1 IV. They all work fine with Apple. Is there any solution for this issue?

[@GypsyGirl317]

[@terrymacklin5935]

I use an A6400 and a Xperia 5 IV. Obviously the Xperia does not compete in low light with the Alpha. I take indoor concert photos, shutter speeds no slower than 1/80th. Will the new 52meg Sensor make a significant difference in ISO and noise reduction? I usually use an ISO set to 4000 with a 2.8 Sigma lens and 1/125 shutter speed lens with my Alpha. Will the new 1V get close to this?

I like so much the _Xperia 1_ but maybe the _Xperia 5_ (or even the _Xperia _*_10_*_ 😮)_ fits much more in my life. Anyway, I like that _Xperia 1_ can be used as external display (and I've read that also as back up) of the _Alpha_ cameras and it's so useful. I also like that the price of the _Xperia 1_ is a bit lower *but* it seems that they cheapened the device by cutting the internal memory and that seems to me a setback.
