The video shows off samples from the surreal Vessel in Hudson Yards, shot with the wide, ultra wide and telephoto cameras.

See, both are shot with same phone, first you make a couple of photos, and a few minutes passes, clouds change shapes... then you switch to manual and turn on HDR and take a couple of pictures to compare the added effect.
Quite simple and logical.
You want exif data? Contact that watermarked Yeoh guy, the owner of the damn phone.

    Tann Hauser, 19 Apr 2019And here is an example of even previous Motion Eye Xperias... moreHurm a bit skeptical about the pics, clouds look it took on a different timeline. No offence though, can share the original link so can check wether its HDR or not? Eitherway thats not a very challenging scene, any flagship nowadays can take that quality image, maybe better.

    Last Xperia i own are Z5, and camera software are bad. Own Z1 & Z2 as well, but on that time, its one of the best camera....sadly competitors are more advance afterwards...ditch the Z5 & switch to Huawei, made me realize how bad Sony camera algorithm is. So for now i'll stick with Huawei. But this Xperia 1 looks promising. I'll hold my judgement later.

      Tann Hauser, 19 Apr 2019What problems with high contrast scenes? Even midranger ... moreThats a great result. But its Xperia 10+. Not XZ3, not XZ2. Maybe they improve the camera software starting the new device series.

      Base on my experience, its not consistence on high contrast handling, either focus metering becomes crazy on some area, causing overexposed & white clippings. And highlights always overblown.

        Tann Hauser, 19 Apr 2019Pictures are true. And I dont care to give you any addition... moreI explained the reasons why the image you linked might not be credible and yet you're refusing to give any proof showing that it is. I can literally take photos on my S10 and P30, upload them on imgur and say that the two photos have been taken by XZ3 with HDR on and off, I know you would believe me if I actually did that. Also would you mind explaining why the shape of the cloud differs so much on two images?

              Anonymous, 19 Apr 2019And the Sony camera sensor is the only one single part made... morethey made the screen and housing as well .

                First of all i dont get ppl who are insulting or diminishing value of device, if they havent seen it. My question goes right to these ppl... Are you gods who see into future? Furthermore... Nobody. Is complaining about new Huawei nano memory cards, meanwhile all the talk is about 21:9 ratio when sony is mentioned. Wierd. Instead of enjoying these shots and commenting about the video... Really. Im starting to believe that everyone under name anonymous is paid by corporations to criticise other corporations. This isnt healthy anymore.

                  Anonymous, 19 Apr 2019Looks promising, but waiting for the reviews. Normally, ... moreThey do. Xperia XZ Premium once had that barrel distortion thing going on when it came out, then a few months later they came out with an update for a fix for it, and now every new Sony flagship phone come with that distortion correction setting turned on out of the box.

                    Seems that someone lost the time using a remote control tv to take some photos/videos for a pseudo promo that don't look good even if was done with other hardware... as usual. And then a brilliant Sony's fan sheep, even edited it badly. Interesting. lol. So funny.

                        Smell away any fish you want or desire.

                          Tann Hauser, 19 Apr 2019And here is an example of even previous Motion Eye Xperias... moreSo no EXIF, no full resolution image for each of HDR and non HDR photos and you want people to believe you? The white balance and the field of view are different between them too, with the top image having significantly more neutral white balance and narrower field of view compared to the bottom one - something which never occurs if you're simply toggling HDR on/off on the same phone. Those photos have been most likely taken at different time of the day or even using phones from different manufacturers, I'm not 100% sure: But I'm definitely smelling something fishy here.

Normally, ... moreRather than just slapping brand names of other Sony divisions this time The Alpha team actually wrote the software for Xperia. Xperia 1 is the camera killer for 2019 (yea P30 Pro have zoom but not this quality), and with Super optimized software and assurance of regular software updates, this is the phone to have.
