Using the Sony Xperia 1 ii As A Cinema Camera?! Is It Overhyped?!
Sony Xperia 1ii –
A couple weeks ago I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Now its Sony’s turn to sit in the hot seat!
Check out how the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Did:

Dat Jewish schnozzle!
`Can u te me pls when does flickering 3d Tof fligh sensr cause any problem during video recording if i use ND flter in front of camera? bcause of the sony took off that from SONY Xperia 5 mark ii ….thanks for nice video content.
I find it comical these no bodies reviewing equipment as though they are industry experts ? Yet their actually professional credentials are no where to be found ? so what does that make them besides typical Youtube autistic attention whores with tech fetish ? 🤭🤔 seems they should just stick to doing how to videos or explanation ones .Pathetic
Using xperia 1ii for almost 3weeks. This phone is soo sexy..love every bit of it, the design, the 4k display, the camera – photo pro n cinema pro, the fingerprint, the dedicated shutter button and the sim tray that will not require you to use sim pin ejector!
Well don👍🏾
I'm a fan of Sony, but unfortunately it falls short of the competition and all it offers is the camera, the camera, the camera, the camera; User wants to see the new design and movements on the phone, not just the camera, Ahmed Ibrahim Abdullah from Sudan
Hi man, loving the videos! Please answer this for me as I can't find an answer anywhere! Does this phone work with the DOF adapters?
Thanks!
Samsung Note 9 and S9 phones have adjustable aperture
does it shoot raw file
Is there any way to quickly edit your videos in the cinema pro app?
So you like the s20 or Iphone more for video? From the tests I've seen the camera can perform better or equal to Iphone or s20 using the pro app.
Typing on my Xperia 1 ii right now 🔥🔥 This thing is an absolute BEAST📸
I was rooting for this phone so much until test reviews came in. I cant wait for the Xperia 1 mark 3 (or Pro, if it will have any improvements) cos this form factor with the shutter button is just so amazing, and all that was said about brining their Alpha tech in to a phone, was just an over promise in the end… Even some of the looks graded in phone are just so amazing but they are narrowed to specific type of story telling.. 10 bit HDR is what Sony should do next… They could lead the game by far with all the tech they mastered, but this was possibly their test…
Michael it would be great if you could push the winner your favourite phone through some kind of an amazing cinematic sequence. I love the amount of test video you put in these videos, but cinematic filmic and breaking it down how you got that sequence that is what would inspire more to go out filming. Even a simply narrative but pushing phones to its ulitmate best possible settings and set up to showcase just how much we can get and how it looks in end result.
Everything has been explained in calm and professional manner 😦👍👍👍
I have the problem that when I use the Cinema Pro with "Sony Xperia 1 ii", there is a strange flickering, what could be the reason?
Hi, great review, is it possible for you to do a review for Sony Xperia 5 ii ? In terms of filming movie which one is better? Note 20 or Xperia 5 ii?
Should I buy sony xperia 5 ii? It's amazing but accessories and services are hard to find. Is it easy to find those in New York state, Oswego?
Xperia vale a pena comprar considerando o preco e os concorrentes? ou melhor partir pra outra marca, principalmente no quesito camera??

I've had all the phone makes over the years & now, this year, I went back to Sony & bought the 1 Mk II. I haven't regretted it. I adore it. Apple is over rated & closed platform & they are just hype. Samsung is nice, but I just don't like them, especially all the bloatware blah blah blah.
If you are a serious film maker & photographer, you can't go wrong with this phone. I love it.
this was really usefull
Check out Huawei P40 pro.It have the biggest camera sensor on smartphones
So wow, almost all footage was only shown on the computer screen ? big miss there… also I would've loved to see footage with no picture profiles just standard and of course not on your screen only (picture in picture …)
Lets pretend we understand everything he is talking about
If I buy this phone, it would not be for its camera, but for its gorgeous 4k display and form factor.
It's not overhyped. Other phones are just overrated.
Finally someone not being negative about it.
I was starting to consider this one as my next phone, but even though they tried to make the apps look amazing it's incredible how featureless and complicated to use they end up being. Maybe I'll stick one more time with the kicking V series of LG.
Just a question: is there REALLY no digital sutter button in the pro app???? I use the Intervalometer app every day because it emulates screen taps on the shutter, but seems that with such phone it will be useless.

This is the end result of film directors using the previous model, Xperia 1, to create a short film.
Take a look. What you took was good.
But this film I'm linking is what happens when you take a lens kit and any other bare accessories to funnel the use of the phone itself.
If you do not trust the link, just type in 'TASTE XPERIA' and you'll be taken to the official Xperia channel. It's 9 or so minutes long.
But it's still the best film I have ever seen made on a smartphone. So fellow viewers, y'all can take a look too.
EDIT: I was watching 'the making of' video on TASTE, and in some shots it looks like they were not using external lenses. So it looks like some parts of the film used external lenses added on, and others not.
Either way, it still looks phenomenal.
I have seen a lot of people complaining that this phone overheats but the Xperia 5 ii fixes that so.. Sony is definitely back
Only crazy people would buy this phone for stock camera app.
Micheal : there's a shutter buttom on the side
Gamers : interestin'
I will really love to see a review from you over the sony xperia 5 II. I am really interested on that phone since I heard it the newest version of the xperia 1II
Note 20 ultra vs the xperia which one did you prefer to use how would you rate them
Try…. Mi 10t pro
What about the upcoming Sony Pro?
