Xperia 5 ii Vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Vs Photo Pro App - Camera Comparison Low Light Shoot-out!

[@mrpool69]

I have Sony Xperia 5II and I love it

[@afan_falera4279]

[@SpencersStuffTV]

Sony really needs to improve that selfie camera. Desperately haha. But overall I prefer the versatility of the Xperia 5s apps. Plus Sony is amazing for bringing into lightroom. Most the time the crushed or blown out images actually still retain detail when you lower highlights in lightroom. Great video man 📷

[@puellobeats]

The phone isn't meant for selfie users. It's meant for the pro photographer/videographer. That's why all the performance and fancy stuff is in the pro app. Not the stock app.

[@SpencersStuffTV]

@@puellobeats that's still not an excuse for having such a poor selfie camera haha. It it doesn't matter who the phone is aimed towards, the camera is still junk. As a manual user myself sometimes I take selfies with my girlfriend or family. I usually just flip my Xperia 1 around to take photos with the main sensor though since the selfie camera is such junk.

[@rahulchowdhury4079]

Sony Xperia 5ii best camera

[@NathanWarkentin]

Maybe I'm just biased using the Xperia 1 II, but I feel like the RAW images looked much better then the iPhone ones in almost every case.

[@hyvleriet]

I also feel like that and that is bc the raw sony pictures looks more realistic

[@alecicruz388]

Bec it has been processed in LR as mentioned in the video? 🙄

[@Lee17788]

Nice video! A comparison with tripod would be interesting too, specially the xperia 5 ii with low iso and low shutterspeed against the iphone :)

[@awagltd]

Sony pictures are natural...iphone isn't.. Samsung too...if you wanna know if an image is natural snap a pic and try to compare what you see with your own eyes...and what the camera sees.Sony will always be close to your eyes

[@danidarklord666]

Nice comparison, no doubt the iPhone is a very good camera but still sony with their true to life image is my choice. Any plan on doing iPhone raw vs xperia raw next?

[@akasyah1739]

IPhone use sony camera

[@sto2779]

sony is not producing a nice true to life image, all their color range is off. Apple shoots true like image with correct color tones with excellent dynamic range and all other specs.

[@strp30788]

i think apart of the very low light photos, the xperia 5ii match the iphone in most of the photos... if only they dedice to put a night mode on xperia...

[@fa14bi-78]

They decided that it is only for their mid range phone.

[@alecicruz388]

After post processing, yeah xperi 5ii matched most of iphone photos. 🙄

[@jensastrup1940]

Nice video. Gives a good impression of the strengths and weaknesses of the phones. I would say that overall, I would give the win to the iPhone, especially from a normal user's perspective who just wants to snap photos. No doubt, if you have a tripod you can better results with the Sony but as you say, we don't usually walk around with a tripod.

[@SirHilary1]

Watching your vids on my Xperia 1ii is amazing! Especially with the quality sound production and Dolby Atmos on 👍👍👍🙏

[@SirHilary1]

Got my self an tripod and experimenting with the photo Pro ap on my Xperia 1ii. Any tips you can give me as I'm still getting my head around the settings, great volg as always 👍👍👍👍🙏

[@WhatGear]

I'd say start by always trying to keep the ISO as low as possible. Mess around with the shutter speed. Get a feel for how to use that, then start to test out the white balance settings. *Also if shooting in bright conditions make sure Auto-HDR or D-Range optimiser is on in the settings menu.

[@SirHilary1]

@@WhatGear thanks for the tips fella, keep up the good work. Sony is encouraging me to go back to old school to the time of film reels and manual settings of the 80s and 90s

[@bloodytoad2010]

The 24 mm lens is the MVP lens. Utilize it if possible, especially for night shots. Compare the difference between HDR off and HDR on in program auto mode. It came close to handheld night mode.

[@rusirubatuwatta8731]

Nice comparison.. Iphone is much better for me in every single time.. Really surprise how good that dynamic range, details and noise reduction of these handheld images.. waiting for mate vs 12 pro max..

[@giancarlovazquez5367]

On the night video department, I honestly don't know why almost every phone make that yellow kind of look just to brighten the image, it doesn't look good, I really respect Sony for making the night video much more natural and good looking

[@TheJunky228]

I'm guessing the auto white balance is trying to turn the dark blue-grey sky into actual grey, which makes the rest of the image yelllowed due to that color compensation

[@stevencorbo1220]

So are you editing the photos on the phone

[@roxpace]

I love the result of Xperia 5 ii, but can you sometime reveal exactly how you use Photo Pro or stock camera app to get best Xperia 5 ii result? I have a lot trouble with it in the dark and moving objects like childrens

[@Holyfamily71]

Why xperia phone has no night mode in 2021?

[@Audi1Pete]

At 6:41 they both have the exact same lens flares are they the same type of sony camera module? The sony looks very bad in low light, no comparision in my opinion, the iphone definitly beats it, the 4k night mode video looks like 720p on the sony.

[@jayarmstrong]

Great choice of subjects! Would be more interested in comparing the Xperia 5ii with a pixel or s20.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

iPhone does much better job with zero efforts and time waste. This is what I want and what mobile photography is supposed to be about. Sony is clearly missing the point. I'm sorry but if I want to shoot in RAW and spend my time (which I don't have) in Lightroom, I will take a proper camera - my Cannon 5D Mark III with high quality L-lens. So iPhone is the clear winner.

[@democritus37]

Yeah totally agree. And he didn’t use PRORAW on the iPhone which will give even better results in LR

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

@@democritus37I can understand that - reviewer is a dedicated fan of Sony brand, and owner of Xperia 1 II so a little bias approach is expected. Apple is clearly showed huge commitment to mobile photography since release of iPhone X. Sony is just trying or I'd say playing. There are two things I really hate about the latest Sony flagship camera-phones are the price and ... use of Samsung camera sensors (2 out of 4!). Can't understand and forgive the last drawback at all.

[@democritus37]

My main criticism here is that you have not used the iPhone PRORAW format to compare against the Xperia 5ii RAW. Having used both phones, the PRORAW files are amazing to edit in LR and I reckon would give superior results to any RAW file from the 5ii. But that wouldn’t play well with the Sony fanboy audience who refuse to acknowledge the shortcomings of the Xperia camera capabilities I guess 😉

[@andreydavydov6417]

sad but true :)

[@chrtofiros]

Waiting for the xperia compact 2021, in case or actually surfaces..

[@eliasalqamar4970]

Xperia 5 ii did the better job for me. Although iPhone is much brighter when it comes to low light condition but the Xperia has the PPA to edit that. As I can see in all the sample you've shown, those photos on the right side taken with Xperia using the App, still way much better than just the brightness of iPhone. The colors and scenery looks true to life. Also the stabilization is i think much better than the iPhone this time, even better than the 1 ii. Anyway, I really love watching in your channel not because of being fan of Xperia but because your reviews are fair. Also, I like your accent especially when you saying the word photo. I saying it after you but I can't 😁

[@AndrewSmith-yy4sd]

Nice comparison. Sony needs to get onboard with a little computational photography in thier smartphones.

[@pauL3gend]

I don't think so. Sonys style is True to life. They have always been that way since Samsung started using Willie Wonka colors. Same goes for those TVs. Computational is a style but leans more to surrealism rather than realism which Sony chooses intentionally. Sony definitely can do computational photography as seen with their upscaling tech, but they respect content creators as owners of movie studios, pro camera lines, etc so the original intent and vision is important as to stay unbiased towards a style that apple, google and samsung chose. For example, computationally enhanced images usually lose contrast to*HDR the image, but because of that everything becomes flatter and u lose the focus of what's the main story of the image because *everything becomes the focus like the grass, sky etc in a overly HDR image. It's pleasing to the eye as eyecandy, but not as real.

[@alecicruz388]

@@pauL3gend or Sony just can't really do well in their mobile phones lol 😂 so they're just hoping their users can tinker with manual settings or do post processing for a better photo

[@explodingheavens]

You get the best focus with eye af on xperia and also best colors, but to have satisfactory output the best way is to use pro app as it focuses better, also use jpeg+raw so in case of bad auto shot you can tune down highlights and bring up details in shadows. Sadly its not using quad bayer and little to no stacking so you got to do it manually. If it couldntake hdr raw it would be a little better than auto mode as auto may stack some frames which make simple raw inferior. Its just too much trouble for ordinary user, but those who know a little about shooting will love it though.

[@Bstky73]

Is the iPhone far better in shooting video than other devices? I think it is a huge exaggeration

[@andrews8024]

Overall, the Sony did better especially on the Raw stock images. Iphone in low light is quite poor but, the Pro app certainly makes Sony grand. What's shocking is how poor the regular camera is on the Sony. You'd think being a camera company this would be really good and yet launching the Pro Mode would make images even better. I have done some low light images comparing to a Samsung S21 and, Samsung somewhat nails it. During normal day light images, the regular Sony camera blows away Samsungs and the Pro app oh wow. Overall, I am very happy with my Sony 5ii no complaints.

Sonys style has always been True to life. They have always been that way since Samsung started using Willie Wonka colors processing. Same goes for their TVs. Computational photography is a style but leans more towards surrealism rather than realism which Sony chooses not to include intentionally or overwhelmingly anyways. Sony definitely can do computational photography as seen with their TV 4K upscaling tech, but they respect content creators original intent as owners of movie studios, pro camera lines, etc so the original intent and vision is important as to stay unbiased towards a style that apple, google and samsung chose. For example, computationally enhanced images usually lose contrast to "HDR" the image, but because of that everything becomes flatter and u lose the focus of what's the main story of the image is due to lack of contrast since *everything becomes the focus, like the grass detail, sky colors, etc in a overly HDR image. It's pleasing to the eye as eyecandy, but not as real. Given the standard app can work better with exposure like the photo pro app but the more "Mechanical" use of technology rather than just software is what gives Sony's a distinct style.

[@r2stik]

how many times cinemapro/photopro crashed? 10? 20?

[@nilloviz]

I would say the iPhone takes the win in low light for me. If you consider those pictures are snapped in a second, that is really impressive. Some of the photos looked a bit ‘plasticy’ though. Whereas the Sony would be more true to life and color accurate, the sharpness/blur issues (long shutter speed and shaky hand) ruined most of the pictures. And like you said, this is how most people would use the phone in everyday life, no tripod... I guess I just value sharpness a bit more than the color accuracy in this case.

[@DetectiveAaron]

But i think xperia 1 mark ii is the best, because have 3Ditof and 5 mark ii is ok, and actually just these 2phones using the new Imx 557,and others phon e don't have ability to get it, because its just for these 2phones😎

[@YgorCortes]

What a fantastic video! I really wish more people would use RAW when making smartphone video comparisons as you did. Unfortunately the Xperia isn't as good as the competition, even with RAW images :/ Btw why didn't you use ProRAW on the iPhone? It would've been awesome to see how it compares to Sony's RAW. Can you do this on another video? It would be so cool!

[@nigelnovak3096]

Sorry to say it but the iPhone 12 seems to be the best considering you just 'use it', whereas the Sony 5 ii you are getting (mostly) ordinary or terrible shots of the default camera app and then having all that extra advantage in LR with the Raw's. And I just bought the Sony 5 ii coz I couldn't stand the Apple ecosystem and Siri and... So I'm interested to see how learning the Photo Pro and Cinema Pro goes on the Sony. Seems like Sony just needs to get the apps calibrated properly. Have give big kudos to Apple here, and as usual Apple draws a line in the sand for others to match or beat. Come on Sony, give Apple some real competition here and get those camera's rendering properly.

[@stevencorbo1220]

For the cost of the Xperia 5 it really should have at least 12 megapixels and it's front selfie camera. And they do need to work on their stock camera app there are a lot of great things about this phone granted it's only a 1080 screen but they don't seem to want to get better than 1080 these days for under $1,000 that's why I still haven't given up my note 9

[@fossar_]

Things I learnt.: The mics on the iPhone are awful. The rave in this case about iPhone cameras is valid as it's exceptional in near-med distance object shots. iPhone loves warming up photos to a fault. Xperia 5ii stock is bad in a lot of situations. Xperia is better when you have the opportunity to setup photos and have learnt what the settings do.
