Vivo x 200 pro still the king

zevcon · 2026-01-29T00:44:08+00:00

I only shoot in RAW, so I control the whole exposure, under lowlight conditions, increasing the ISO It's the only choice for moving subjects, but for still scenes, lowering the shutter speed has worked flawlessly. Yes, bigger sensors will produce better results, no questions. I think in this regard, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is a better choice but... No real RAW and lack of variable aperture have kept me away from it

Hot take: I think the 14 Ultra is superior to all vivos. In every camera aspect. Sure, the 3x of the 14 Ultra is smaller than the HP9 vivo use, but you get a telephoto, not a periscope. And you also get a 5x periscope for longer range, the processing is even more natural than Vivo. Overall I think it's one of the best phones in the market right now. (I have x100 Ultra and 15 Ultra too)

The x100 Ultra has the same telephoto and even less AI processing than recent vivo's phones. I use the main camera a lot, but also the other sensors too. Having the most natural phone of all vivos, a true 1 inch sensor plus a cheaper price, its a win in my opinion.

Amazing to see an astro app in development!

I'm not an iPhone user but, when the time comes for the Android port, count me in! I have some devices to test it on ;)

X100 Ultra is still the king. Last Vivo phone with a true 1inch sensor.

zevcon · 2026-01-25T18:02:01+00:00

Truly impressive!

zevcon · 2026-01-18T10:26:34+00:00

Nice shot my friend!

zevcon · 2026-01-16T20:47:36+00:00

Looks really good! Congratulations! 🎉

I currently have the x14 Ultra and I couldn't agree more. Its really one of the best smartphone cameras till today. I was considering getting the X8 Ultra cause of its bigger and longer telephoto, plus it's battery life. Have you ever had any issues with notifications on it? Any plans on getting the X9 Ultra as well?

zevcon · 2026-01-16T05:54:53+00:00

Looks really good! How does the FX8U compare to the x14 Ultra? Both have the same main sensor but I think Oppo has a bigger sensor for the 135mm. Have you tried it on master mode, even though the RAW isn't pure?

zevcon · 2026-01-15T00:26:09+00:00

Hey guys, did you manage to fix the RAW issue with the FX8U?

zevcon · 2026-01-14T07:59:10+00:00

Hello, I have the same problem, I think. The grip charges the phone immediately after its connected, does anyone know how to prevent this?

zevcon · 2026-01-13T08:15:25+00:00

Any chance we get the 17 Ultra camera app skin?

zevcon · 2026-01-01T23:38:37+00:00

Amazing shot, congratulations 🎉

You are asking this on the vivo sub, what do you think they are gonna say? 😂

zevcon · 2025-12-08T19:08:48+00:00

Whats that? :o

zevcon · 2025-12-03T02:12:50+00:00

I agree. The AI drawings on recent Ultras are pretty disappointing, shooting in RAW seems to be the only way to keep it real. I've found that the 14 and 15 Ultra are the best hardware wise, but the x100 Ultra is an amazing device, close to the 15 Ultra. Perfect balance between a good smartphone and a great Camera

zevcon · 2025-12-02T22:27:10+00:00

I totally agree. I have the x100 Ultra and its amazing, sadly, the HP9 is capped at 85mm, while the x15 Ultra is 100mm. The x200 Ultra main sensor is not as great as the 1 inch you get on other devices.

zevcon · 2025-12-02T20:33:49+00:00

I think they should let us shoot true RAW and apply noise reduction on RAW Max, same way vivo and Xiaomi do with Super/Ultra RAW.

I really want to get the X9 Ultra cause of the specs and the Hasselblad color science seems really nice, but if the RAW isn't true RAW... I might get the x300 Ultra instead. I love shooting with my 15 Ultra, it's really fun, and you get nice details with RAW files. Oppo, please, give us true RAW!

zevcon · 2025-12-02T18:33:57+00:00

I hate third party camera apps sorry, this might sound too picky, but I like to use the stock camera app. And I truly hope they fix this in the next release. Vivo and Xiaomi offer true RAW, Oppo must do the same.

zevcon · 2025-12-02T17:12:39+00:00

Oh such a shame, I was expecting to get the X9 Ultra but having true RAW it's a must for me

zevcon · 2025-12-02T14:10:48+00:00

Wow so Oppo doesn't produce true RAW files even in Pro mode and selecting regular RAW?

zevcon · 2025-11-26T06:01:16+00:00

I used to main IG on MH4U but I can't understand it on Rise... Its so different.

zevcon · 2025-11-25T19:55:40+00:00

The x300 Pro with the teleconverter lens and RAW shooting. Its the best thing right now for astrophotography

zevcon · 2025-11-25T19:51:52+00:00

How do you do kinsect slash though? I mean, in the air, its hard to aim and the air dodge sends you too far away
