23 June 2019
This app is "powered by CineAlta" and targets budding videographers, but it may have promised more than it can deliver.

        The level and amount of ignorance in this comment section (and GSM Arena comment section in general) is astounding.

        On topic, on general another disappointment with Sony making something inconsistent that under delivers.

Xperia 1 undeniably a great low light video recording champ. Do u know why there is less ghosting/blurry effects on Xperia 1 video? Its because of their less/no noise reduction in the works, unlike other manufacture that puts heavy sharpening, heavy noise reduction causing the jittery effects. Iphone XS is as good as Xperia 1 on that regards.

              But by saying other phones take plain blurry videography cinematic video, is just plain fanboyism. Just look at the Xperia 1 cinematic video that gsma posted, it will still blurry as other cinematic video i provided earlier as well when paused. So where is the differents wether its plain or not? Cinematic videos has been heavily edited that when on the final results, all will looks the same. It depends on the skills of the beholder.

              And by bashing Parker Walbeck, a fulltime professional film maker, its hilarious. He's a professional, but who are u?

                Shui8, 25 Jun 2019Try pause the Xperia 1 video on this gsma provided.

The format used to capture the details in a best way possible results in washed out colours. Which actually turns out to be great with colour grading.

                    It's not for those who need cameras with filters like that on Snapchat or other fancy camera filters.

                    It's a different thing entirely.
                    May be it doesn't appeal much for the general audience but for those who are aware can put it to best use.

                            Seriously, my point is that there is no point in saying this brand copied from that brand. It's about who does it best. If you say XZ3's curved screen is better than Samsung's, fine. Technology progresses, customers benefit. No need to be an enraged fanboy.

                                    What does the webpage title say? If you can't read, it is "Xperia XZ3 With Curved Glass Design".
