Sony shows the Xperia 1 II camera and its Alpha-inspired features in detail

29 April 2020
Eye AF for humans and animals, 20fps continuous shooting with AE/AF enabled and a ZEISS lens with T* coating are just the tip of the iceberg.

    App shows digital zoom values among the fixed FL.
    Fixed are 16, 24 and 70.
    There is 35mm as digital zoom for the 24mm camera.

      Kishore, 29 Apr 2020Only fault with this phone is it has lower refresh rate 😏SnapDragon can only do a higher refresh rate on displays lower than 4K. Sony didn't have that choice. Read the specs of the 865. Maybe next year.

        And this is weird and a very poor business (lack of) decision, especially being a leading gaming company also, and the unfortunate results are, that Sony is no longer a leader but a follower in a industry that it once triumph.

          This phone could be powered by nuclear fusion and have a Hubble telescope lenses, but if it's not up for sale, it's useless.

            I would say that the Xperia 1 II is meant to be the successor of the Sony Rx100 VA. I never liked the Rx100 I-V series, very bad usability.

It'll be between 2x and 3x optical zoom. 200/70 = 2.85 but as 70/33 = 2.12 depending the lens. That it is. Probably between 2.12x and 2.85x optical zoom. For that expensive phone sounds a bit poor when others offer two telephoto cameras at a lot cheaper price. Funny way to hide the real optical zoom in their telephoto camera when all other manufacturers are declaring it. Lol. Sony....

                I've forgotten all about this thing.

                    And on good Sony tradition it will have a small battery and big price tag. And a crappy UI. And it will be another failure.

                      Kishore, 29 Apr 2020Only fault with this phone is it has lower refresh rate 😏It is obvious this phone is not catered towards serious competitive gamers who truly benefit and utilize that high 120Hz refresh-rate. For regular users it does have software acceleration to 90Hz. This will make the transitions much smoother than base 60Hz but not be effective for competitive gaming. There are phones like ASUS ROG which are designed specifically for that.

                        SD865 does not support 4k90 nor 4k120.

                          Tele is 70mm, it has digital zoom up to 200mm.

                          Tele is 2.9x the wide.

                            If the base telephoto is 70mm then with a typical angle of vision of 33º then optical zoom is only around 2x... If it's even more narrow 3x at most, but then the angle of vision will be really small.
