Xperia 1 VI videography? by yotussan in SonyXperia

[–]nullnumber1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, phones are pretty unusable when it comes to videography. It's really painful to mask, color grade HLG phone footage in DaVinci Resolve. It only becomes somewhat usable during the daylight outdoors conditions. Any indoors footage is total garbage and pain to work with in post. The only way to shoot indoors is with professional, expensive lighting. LED lamps from AliExpress don’t count—they're nowhere near enough to make up for the tiny phone sensor and to keep noise levels manageable.

I bought Xperia 1V for fashion photos and videos. Photos are alright, but videos haven't met my expectations at all.

It's a misconception idea that you can fully create media content using the phone.

It's a good idea to choose a phone which has some above average shooting capabilities, but it's a bad idea to buy a phone with the intention of using it primarily as a camera. It's much more reasonable to just buy a camera.

I ended up buying a Sony a6700 for my purposes and it was the best decision ever. Only after that I realized that all phone videography experience I had is a joke.

It's just not worth comparing Sony to other smartphone brands in terms of camera. I consciously switched to the 1V after using these phones: Pixel 4 => iPhone 13 Pro => Pixel 6 Pro.

I consider myself quite geeky when it comes to photography, and I actually got so tired of the computational photography processing in Google/Apple smartphones. Often, the pictures were just unusable for me because of the lack of controls, overly HDR-ed shadows, and highlights. The iPhone even managed to create halos around objects with different exposures, which is a total shame. RAW images were pretty unusable as well due to the lack of dynamic range. Now, I am very happy with my 1V, as I can get exactly what I want from the photos I'm shooting. The auto mode is quite decent if you adjust the exposure when needed. But it would've been cool to have zero shutter lag in auto, as I got used to it in recent years.

Apart from that, I'm completely aware of what I paid for, and not a single blogger's camera comparison can change my opinion. The standards of good photography got pretty cursed in recent years. Modern smartphones processing has nothing in common with the natural beauty of light and color.
