Xperia 1 VI vs 1 V - Camera Comparison - Huge or minor improvements?

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

Die Unterschiede die mir bei meinen Geräten aufgefallen sind, sind folgende. 1. Der Autofokus ist beim 1vi deutlich besser. 2. Fotos auch bei den RAW-Dateien wird deutlich mehr eingegriffen. Insbesondere bei den RAW-Dateien habe ich öfter das Foto noch zwei drei Mal gemacht, weil ich so erstaunt war, dass der komplette Himmel blau war als ob ein HDR Modus eingeschaltet wäre. Wenn man die Bilder dann in Lightroom bearbeitet habe ich auch das Gefühl, die Heiligkeit besser im Griff zu haben, z.B. beim Himmel. 3. Der Toll Zoom auf weite Distanzen ist ein wenig besser aber eben kein Highlight des Gerätes. Zoom Aufnahmen im nahen Bereich werden hingegen relativ gut für ein Smartphone. 4. Naheinstellgrenze ist bei allen Sensoren besser, dass heißt man kommt zum Beispiel auch mit dem 24 mm Objektiv deutlich näher an ein Motiv dran (möglicherweise hat es etwas mit den neueren größeren Linsen zu tun) . 5. Makro Modus ist großartig und fehlt ja beim 1V komplett. 6. 48 Megapixel Modus und 50 mm Modus sind ebenfalls ein toller Mehrwert. Ich finde nach einiger Gewöhnungszeit auch die neue Kamera App deutlich intuitiver und einfacher zu bedienen aber das ist wohl Geschmacksache. Und auch sonst ist das Gerät halt in allen Bereichen ein gutes Stück besser geworden, sodass ich es als ein wirklich gutes Upgrade sehe. Eher schon fast wie bei anderen 2 Jahre. Ich meine was hat Samsung und Apple verbessert seit der letzten Generation?

How about low light video and selfie cam in low light situations?

[@chrtofiros]

Slightly better 1vi. Sony must decide to lower its prices and then get carriers to sell it's phones

[@haon2205]

The huge improvement in mk 6 seems to resemble the Pro-I in some ways. Hey perhaps you can do a comparison with the Pro-I that would be interesting. My prediction would be mk 6 better color accuracy. Pro-I better object and texture details.

[@lovemademan]

Camera is to be improved by AI, but yes, insolence from Sony's part for its die hard users is there having known issues for many months ago for its HDR, noise, led, lens issues. From this top ten, the best operating systems are Xperia and Apple, so the overall winners are those two: Pro max 15 and 1VI. I've tried the Pura, but it's simply a joke for its price overall... Good review!

[@lovemademan]

@@vardekpetrovic9716 I can shoot with the Gcam (older mods for Xperia) look better than Pura or 808PureView with lower pixels or sensor sizes, so please don't speak oldies. AI is really great when the dosage is perfect (AI is not only about colors, shadows nor pixelation!). Other issues have Xperia that many so called 'die hard fans' don't even know/care about... Cheers!

Such a great comparison, thanks dear! The macro looks impressive

[@phatthesaigonese7947]

Answer: if the price is not a factor, choose 1 VI. Otherwise stay with 1 V.

[@Dirk-xw7kj]

Thank you for this great comparison!

[@aideyp7333]

Nice comparison; I really hope Sony introduces pixel binning on their next phones, as zooming in on the 12Mp you can see the loss of detail. The tele macro does need a very steady hand to get pictures non blurry!!

[@lltechview]

They use pixel binning for their main.

[@aideyp7333]

@@lltechview Yes, their Zoom and Ultrawide needs upgrading to 48Mp so there's less loss of detail especially evening or night photos; the main camera is excellent. They also need to update the selfie camera to have AF. I am missing Video Pro; I did sideload an apk; but you can't use zoom, (you could use the 16, 24 and 48mm modes) nor could I have access to the menu settings that are on the Xperia 1 V.

[@lltechview]

@@aideyp7333 The thing I miss from Video Pro is the possibility to set the microphone sensitivity. That is quite useful. Less post production because the mic is set to low. 48 MP is not all. They need larger sensors. 1/2" minimum to get good low light shots. AF on front cam I would not necessarily need.

[@stargazer8g2]

I thought you used s-cinetone on the 1 V video 😂

[@luc7976]

Big improvement in comparison is the addition of Tele 120mm Macro mode with small min. focus distance. See gsmarena sample pictures.

[@lltechview]

Thats what I showed here as well.

[@luc7976]

@@lltechview I see now at 16:45 but note the min. focus distance is only 2cm or so. So you could go bit closer which might be useful sometimes.

Yeah the 1 VI is in some or more situations better. But I love the macro shots from what I've tested I love the macro shots of the 1 VI. I must tested against my Pura 70 Ultra that comes in 2 to 3 days to me ☺️nice video 👍very good informative comparison

[@DamianNocun]

video recorded with VideoPro all on 1 V is on different level than recorded from standard app on VI. Differences with quality and sound on V plus.

would you say vi would be the best phone for livestreaming? the video quality has fantastic colors and the battery life is killer. sharpness wouldnt matter much bc of the bitrate in streaming

Hi. I really enjoy your videos and reviews. Thank you. Will you make one more about Find X7 Ultra talking more in general about system,music player and some other apps maybe and also how is the sound when recording video. I am thinking about importing one,but a bit scared with this chines ROM, would like to know more how it is on a day to day basis. Would you recommend it personally as an everyday phone or choose a different one??

Ich habe von Sony Xperia 1M4 auf Xperia 1M6 gewechselt. Insgesamt ist das neue komplett viel besser. Die Kamera App beim Xperia 1M6 stört mich doch, es ist hat weniger einstellungen, aber die Bildqualität hat sich trotzdem beim neuen Xperia 1M6 deutlich verbessert. Wann Kommt für das Sony Xperia 1M6 die Kamera Pro Apps die wieder mehr einstellungen haben wie bei Vorgänger Modelle. Und beim Xperia 1M6 fehlt komplett Cinema Pro App, ist es möglich als App datei auf Xperia 1M6 manuell zu installieren? Display mit FHD+ aufösung ist nicht schlechter als bei Vorgänger mit 4K auflösung. Xperia 1M6 hat sonst deutlich verbesserungen bei allem. Deutlich längere Akkulaufzeiten. Deutlich bessere Klangqualität über Kopfhörer und Bluetooth auch Lautsprecher klang ist besser geworden. Die Update zeit wurde um 1Jahre verlängert. Ich kann nicht verstehen das andere Menschen gibt da an Sony Xperia 1M6 oder algemein bei Sony was stört es sind trotzdem insgesamt erstklassige Geräte.

[@lltechview]

Video Pro Funktionen sollen im Herbst spätestens wieder da sein mit einem Software update. Ob Cinema Pro Features nachgereicht werden weiß ich nicht. Ich wage es ein wenig zu bezweifeln.

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

Die Funktionen bei der Kamera sind identisch wie bei den Vorgängern, außer das Auto und Basic Mode zusammengefasst wurden. Nur bei Video gibt's weniger Funktionen.

[@ulimu8707]

Also,mein 1V macht nicht so blasse Bilder oder Videos wenn ich nicht den entspr Filter einstelle und auch nicht in SDR. Ein Vergleich mit dem 1 V im HDR Video Mode wäre doch mal angezeigt. Offenbar stellt sich das 1 Vl Video jetzt von selbst in den HDR Mode. Ich finde zudem, dass brim 1 Vl etwas zu viel Rot drin ist. Der Hautton,das Auto, das Verkehrsschild sind farblich etwas drüber mMn. Bei Bilder HDR ( tagsüber, Himmel) muss beim 1Vl aber noch eine deutliche Verbesserung her um an das 1 V heranzureichen

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

Die Fotos im neuen Automatikmodus Modus sind in der Tat etwas mehr bearbeitet, Dass würde ich als Geschmacksache bewerten, wobei ich glaube, dass genau das eben viele wollen. Im manuellen Modus wird aber weiterhin so gut wie nicht eingegriffen, wobei helle Bereiche extrem gut gemanagt werden, auch bei RAW Dateien. Der neue Autofokus ist wirklich deutlich besser, der Marco Modus ist echt der Hammer und auch sonst ist das Gerät einfach noch mal deutlich besser finde ich, obwohl ich das 1V auch sehr mochte.

Thank you for this video. almost all of your examples didnt look like much of an improvement over the 5. i would appreciate the macro function, but mostly for scanning documents. considering most of the "improvements" were computational i dont understand why the 6 doesnt support heif or h265. For me, i cant see the improvements made being big enough to get me to make the upgrade (i i didnt hesitate when all the other xperia 1 phones came out and this will be the first phone that ill probably keep for 2 years in a long time) i think for the very small improvements and no drop in price (and worse screen) it just isnt worth it. I really want Sony to stay sharp because if Vivo started adding an sd card and headphone jack i dont know if i wouldnt have one of those. sax player clip the 6 made the colours of the wall look very fake.

I just cant stand the 1VI and perfectly happy with the 1V. THE VI though what irks me the most is the camera interface its laughable it looks like a Samsung phone. That is the interface looks like its been drawn by a CHILD with a crayon-evne on its "pro" mode! When i first saw it i had to laugh,. The VI has been made to appeal to the "unwashed" who cannot learn how to take a photo without assistance , however Sony has FOOLISHLY left us more knowledgeable photogrpahers and videographers out in the cold. If this cvarries on ill never buy xperia again but the good news is the Sony alpha ZV E-10 II is being announced on the 10th of July-I will get that,

Hello, I'm still using xperia 1 (first generation), planning to upgrade my phone. Because of Sony doesn't sold in my country, I'm torn between S24 ultra and xperia 1V. Some people said S24 ultra camera is the best, but I don't feel the colour. Would like to have your opinion on Xperia 1V and S24 ultra camera. The most important thing in phone is camera & battery, because i can't always carry dslr everywhere i go. Thank you.

[@lltechview]

Would rather take the Xperia but yeah Samsung has longer software support and with a bit of work with third party apps and settings you can also get good photos out of the S24 Ultra.

[@spirittravels.]

It's good to hear the opinion of a photographer. Can you tell me if it's worth processing the raw photos from the Sony in a free app like Snapseed? Will it produce better results than the Sony jpegs? Because one thing I discovered when trying to edit the raw files of a pixel phone was that the raw images were actually looking worse than the jpegs even after adjusting. Maybe that's because of Snapseeds limitations of control. I don't know. Cheers.

@4:55 that shows how annoying HDR in general is. The colors on th VI are oversaturated and shadows are overbrigjtened. Just because no manufacturer implement a ND Filter like Nokia 808.
