Second, yes, XZ1 and Premium with Oreo can indeed adapt ISO and SS at the same time without exclusions...
My X Perform with Oreo didnt get that ability but just ISO control with exclusion of SS(would like the latter).
Third, iphones and Pixel phones do not have manual.
Fourth, most yt testers fhd res videos give you exact look out as how photos and videos would look at your phone screen ,social media, big screen TV or monitor, or in print...you know, stuff you shoot photos for in the first place, not how it would look under some photoshop zoom zoom in... nobody looks up photos and videos under magnifying lens in real life...
Fifth, 19 mpx is there to make photos look more sharp and detailed, especially when printed out, especially in some bigger A3 or more format...print out a 19 mpx and a 12 mpx photo and see difference in quality yourself.

AnonD-392500, 01 Dec 2017Steadyshot is not available in 1080p@60fps.I love how you fboys make things up
From arenas own review:
"Bumping resolution or frame rate higher than that (1080p @ 60fps or 4K) only gets you the SteadyShot Standard variety - 3-axis, but still does a great job."
Steadyshot available at 1080p 60 fps, inteligent active mode only om 30 fps
This lack of knowledge only proves you dont even own a Sony device...

A trouble is supposed to be a not something good all the way, or you want to give an impressions through these units over millions, send it back and get another good one is an easy common solution, or you are out of excuses as usual.
Regarding to the YouTube, if it is supports 2 or 3 or 40mp, your smartphone display is already not more than 3mp, so nonsense as usual.

Because
1. It is convenient and faster
2. Most people using smartphones are not photographers
"Camera with no manual control is by default worse camera."
Name me one flagship that don't have manual mode
"And it HAS full manual controls in XZ1 and Premium"
Yeah.. It has manual controls but it has some annoyances. For example, I want to set 0.5 ss and iso 1600 for a low light situation. I set ss first and then set iso and....boom, ss revert back to auto. Next time, I set iso first and then set ss and... Boom ss revert back to auto. This is crazy.
"Xperias camera is great even in automode owligh"
Tell me 1 tech review site who said XZ1 camera is better in low light than competitors.
"Those are real life tests, with actual real results seeable, not someones opinion about pixel processing this or that"
I agree these are real life tests but in what resolution do you watch YouTube? 1080p is max YouTube support and that's 2 mp. 19mp, 16mp and 12mp pictures downscale to 2mp and compare? This is a bad idea I must say. That's why you can't compare any camera by watching youtube.
"People take photos and video to look at them, not examine its pixels, corners or whatever nonsens"
What's the point in using 19mp sensor if it only captures the same detail as a 2mp?

And finally but not last Samsung fanboys are always camping on all Sony threads to bash Sony mobile randomly, just go enjoy your beloved Samsung smartphones.

Why would any camera, less alone smartphone one be only for point n shoot?
Users want to be able to take different photos of same stuff, not only the way that OEM thinks it should be. Camera with no manual control is by default worse camera. Every actual photographer will say so.
Xperias camera is great even in automode owlight, as seen in these comparissons....
And it HAS full manual controls in XZ1 and Premium.
And why should people forget yt testers? Those are real life tests, with actual real results seeable, not someones opinion about pixel processing this or that.
People take photos and video to look at them, not examine its pixels, corners or whatever nonsens.
A pleasing photo or video is in the eye of the viewer, not photoshop app zoom in option.

Steadyshot is available at 1080p at 60fps...at least on my Performance. And IAM available on 30fps, and normal stabilisation is available at 4k. You sure its not on your XZ?
Motion eye I believe does not have lower 8mpx but 12 mpx option....
You dont have to use manual preset 1s shutter for good lowlight quality, 1/16 is quite enough with some -0.3 to -0.5 exposure levels, for great shots even without tripod...
With Oreo XZ1 has even ISO level managment, so I belive even better results can be made by keeping ISO under control.
And Its quite easy to use, just preset manuals for lowlight, just a flick to manual in app gets you to "lowlight" mode.
About HDR....at least it has control over it, you can turn it on and shadows will be uncovered, and not too much....I would hate a camera that actually cant catch a good light to shadow contrast shot, these make out to be really great dramatic shots people love to see.
Sth some automatic hdr phone cameras without manual mode can not do, as they add to much hdr by default....
for ex new Iphones cam is ....well, photos turn out really bad exactly due to too much HDR, like that worst overprocessed Instgr filter...
Actual Photographers hate that overprocessed stuff...
Dont know about Pixel in that regard, maybe it is better, as I ve seen it has better auto dynamic range yes but not so out of proportion as ihph8... but it has no manual mode either, which is...uhhhh.

Tann Hauser, 30 Nov 2017Ah, here photo and video compare of this XZ1/XZ Prem camera... moreSmartphone cameras are mainly used for point and shoot purpose. Almost no one use manual mode. Even if someone want to use manual mode, Xperia is not a good option because of very limited manual controls and RAW image is not supported. So, auto or manual, xperia is not a good option for taking photos.
P. S. Forget youtube camera comparisons. All people who use xperia phones know xperias are worst for shooting photos. Thank you.

xperias are the worst in low light.
they might be good in many things about their cameras, but leave the low light to the S8. No brand can beat Samsung in low light.
