Ohh so complicated names.
And with all of those names, xperia's camera is still worse than the competitors.

    [deleted post]Popular yes, more creative definitely not.
    For ex, HDR video is a perfect example for that. Creator mode is for professional video creativity interested users, tho 10 bit hdr video it uses is not as popular as 8bit hdr, but is definitely a step above in tech and quality

Then again, they finally get points for portrait and zoom. Dont care about portrait, but that 5x hybrid zoom is remarkable.
      Tho for video it should get some extra high score from them, if their protocols are considered.
      Never the less, if this true, at least Sony started properly marketing again.

        Shui8, 04 Jun 2019Xperia 1 vs P30 Pro vs S10+ - https://youtu.be/ihN_av8Sk2w... moreChris is a true Sony fan but he is not the best camera guy. His banana shot on X1 is out of focus because it focus is on the wall, one tap on screen fixes that. In narrow venice streets he uses ultra wide camera on X1 instead of the main one like on the rest of the phones. Xperia 1 like any other Xperia phones does spot metering instead of taking in average brightness level thats's why non important area gets overexposed. That's just how it is and there are advantages as well as disadvantages to that, great for landscape bad for interior shots. For example on low lit environment where there is a spotlight Xperia 1 would show correctly a contrast between low lit area and hotspot from the spotlight while P30 or Pixel that have extreme contention of highlight would totally diminish the spotlight and kill any contrast on the scene. It looks like a evenly key lit scene which is not how it actually looks. Overall P30 Pro does better still photography than Xperia 1 that was to be expected but in outdoor daylight they are equally matched.

        When it comes to video nothing beats Xperia 1 right now. It's the only phone that can shoot ultra wide video with distortion correction, to make it a bit funny it's using Samsung sensor for such thing. It's 4K video is the highest bitrate I've seen so far, the amount of detail and color reproduction cannot be matched by P30 Pro or S10. 4K stabilization is suffering because of it there not enough processing power to do hybrid EIS/OIS stabilization. But if you switch to FHD recording you will be treated with the best stabilization on mobile phone so far. Take P30 Pro at night time and jump and you will see light smudging all over the place while none of that will appear on Xperia 1

          This person is reliable. Last year he said Premium was going to be announced April in China. That happened.

            Shui8, 04 Jun 2019Xperia 1 vs P30 Pro vs S10+ - https://youtu.be/ihN_av8Sk2w... moreFirst example Xperia 1 shot using wide lens while all others use main cam. There are many other better comparisons out there by people who know a bit more bout photography. Btw P30 Pro stabilizes better on 4k cause it has lower bitrate hence less cpu intensive, difference in details compared to Xperia 1 is night and day in favor of Xperia 1.

              Do you think even FF show blue sky like some phones do?
              A site here used a A6400 for blind test , so people could see the right colour and exposure.
              S10, P30 pro, Xs and pixel 3 all got scene very different from the APSC.

                    - https://youtu.be/ihN_av8Sk2w

                    Yup. Overblown highlight still persist on Xperia, be it on both daylights & lowlights, especially on high contrast scene, P30 blows Xperia 1 out of the water, even its HDR turns on. Low lights? Same old Sony. Not a lot can be comment. 4k stablilization, selfie front camera also flavours on P30 side (Again, Xperia front camera also suffer because of that overblown highlights).

                    While Xperia 1 is indeed improving, it still cant manage to beat the best competition out there in the camera department. Some parts of it are indeed better, but as overall, it loses to the other two.

                                Livid, 03 Jun 2019Why is Sony using Samsung Isocell cameras in this phone ? ... moreUltra Wide, tele and selfie are isocell.

                                Ultra Wide and Tele are 1/3.4" ... Sony does not make sensor of this size. Just 1/3" and 1/4".
                                I think they considered the size more apropriated to make modules equal thickness.

                                IFA phone wont use Isocell. It is just temporary solution.

                                  It is hard to push brightness at this pixel density.
                                  It probably is around 500-540 nits.

                                  More than that will bring burn in earlier. If you check on internet, burn in happens more on QHD than Full HD or HD.

                                      Phones without OIS will use higher ISO to prevent blur.
                                      Not software issues.

                                      In scenes that phones from other brands end up using ISO above 600, photos come out very bad too. Especially Samsung.

                                      You cannot compared ISO 200/ shutter 1/2s against ISO 800/ shutter 1/32s.
