I'm so glad you mentioned that it takes photos for the purest . Most other phones take excellent photos. But the colours are fake they look better than real life because the software enhances the colours . All looks good on Facebook but it's not real. I think Sony are staying away from all the wizardry and trying to keep things natural .
@@Avell. you don't need to edit a photo . You edit because your used to the filters and over saturated colours. A good DSLR camera takes natural pics that don't need editing . Facetube and instabook is the only place for fake pictures.
@@Avell. if you have to edit a photo on a smartphone and you want the photo look nice swiftly and you know what you do to get the look YOU want just use Snapseed.
Photos may not be the best but I like the design of the phone and the pictures it takes. The pictures just have that really nice natural but my type of aesthetic to them. I like it.
I don't mind the fact that Sony phones take honest images. Colours appear more natural and details seem more realistic. By all means they should have enhancing options available but I would prefer if my default settings took more natural images.
?? Stabilization was removed in CinemaPro app? Currently, you do have stabiliztoin on all three lenses in Cinema Pro It's in the upper right hand corner when you select the lens. Are you sure about this??
Good natural colour and look for camera image process. I like your point Sony Xperia want to us learn how to setting manually the camera and give us a change to edit the photo by our own preferences...Sometimes I hate over process images like Samsung and Iphone...
Great review! I have a question about 4K stabilization. I have a Xperia 1, the stabilization in 1080p 30 is super stable, just wonderful, but for 1080p 60 and 4K H265, it it's not so good. Actually, much less impressive than 1080p 30, can't even be compared with iPhone's stabilization. You mentioned it in the video that 4K stabilization is good, so I wonder if it is improved in Xperia 5 and new updates, or it's almost the same as the performance on Xperia 1? Thanks!
A great video as always. The compact size is a real winner for me. I’m sure Sony will be able to improve the camera app over time and let’s hope they release software updates regularly.
@@fuchu92 I cannot agree with that. When I had the Sony XZ Premium Sony updated regularly and quickly. You can fault Sony's mobile division for certain things.... but not for their updates.
Fisheye correction is not on by default because is better apply correction on a serious photo software and not on your phone. The target of the Xperia 5 is for who want the best for images on a smartphone not for who wants easy things and cheap fast effect. Like you said is for purist.
Great review, great phone, great camera hardware but a terrible camera software like you and many other reviewers said about Sony's camera software ... Can you do a second camera review using the Google Camera Please ? Maybe that could enhance the performance of the cameras
@@JHacker117 so I'm stuck using Adobe Lightroom which is considerably better than the standard Xperia camera app, I recommend you use it on your Xperia 1 by the way
@@FortunateLee98 Thanks! I'll try it. The stock camera could have a really good and satisfying performance at times, but the algorithm is not very stable. The long time it takes for processing is also annoying. I hope it could get fixed by later updates.
@@JHacker117 Hey, try these apks, the last one was updated today, so find the Version that suits your Xperia 1 (safe link btw) : androidapksfree.com/google-camera/com-google-android-googlecamera/old/

Camera is garbage on the 5, the Stabilizer is absolutely a joke and 4k says 30fps but looks like 20fps. The Pro App for editing videos is not supporting H264 files imported from PC. You can see the FullHD 60fps only in playback, so if you record, it doesn't run like 60fps. Videocalling via whatsapp or skype shows your face like plastic and there is not one settings to change it.. Bro come on, even the iPhone 6s from 2015 performs a lot better!

I got Xperia 5 last Friday when came out camera no better then xz3 and at home when dark out side low light is terrible if you want good camera stay away from Sony online Sony and Xperia 5 but far as camera goes big no no
I have a Xperia 1 and I can confirm that...if you want a night vision instead of a camera...yes..it doesn't do the trick, but if you want a camera that captures the exact atmosfere...I think it is pretty good at it
Sounds like you dont know how to use a camera, like 95% of phone users. It has full manual control and HDR. Easy to get stunning night photos if you know how and dont just rely on auto everything. Thats not who this phone is aimed at.
@@28camwal the love the fake cute pictures...Sony mistake was to make camera for professionals lol....most of these people won't know what to do with real camera lol

yeah mate props for that, if you want to edit a photo, well you have to work your ass in editing for it with Sony device so your photo to look nice
And that is exactly why I just ordered this phone versus the competition.

The HDR video... so cinematic 😍
Love ur work David!! Thank you so much for covering SONY!!
You can turn on the stabiliser in cinema pro when selecting your lens 👍🏽
I feel like the images look better than Xperia 1
Because you saw the photo from Xperia 1 from the First firmware.. i'm sure that the quality it's the same

U should use the cinema app for 4k video if im not wrong
try H264
A great video as always.

Uhm no, sony update is sucks, and their camera is not better either, it sucks because their phone have potential

I'm in doubt between the xperia 5 and Huawei p30 pro. which one should I choose and why?

How does it feel in the hand? Is it well balanced? Nice grip or soapy? Xz1 compact user here :) Thank you
A shame Sony doesn’t provide a decent camera software for raw photos, night mode and auto hdr
You can use Lightroom for RAW, it has the same controls...
thanks David, which one samsung note 10+ vs Sony 5 vs oneplus 7pro
Really amazing look. I love it
Hi, Can you download the Photo Pro app on this phone and use it ?
Appreciate your answer.
Thanks
What happened to the tips and tricks guide then? :)
❤️Sony ❤️
Xperia 😍
Btekt, why you not compared with Iphone?
Amazing cameras!!
Sony do nothing for the basic photo app. I wish they bring the photo pro App on this one (xperia5) all their work is on this app, HUGE difference !
Can Xperia 5 shoot 10-bit video? Xperia 1 can, but what about Xperia 5?
Great review, great phone, great camera hardware but a terrible camera software like you and many other reviewers said about Sony's camera software ... Can you do a second camera review using the Google Camera Please ? Maybe that could enhance the performance of the cameras
I think there isn't any available GCam for Xperia 1 or 5 yet...

Waiting for the phone to get released in my country since pixel 4 is not being launched here
I like Sony phone so much. is a best phone I have ever seen. I have been using iPhone 12 pro max but still it doesn't catch Sony Xperia
Compare it with Xperia 1
I'm watching this with the Xperia 5

Good 👍 Sony Xperia 5
How to record video slowmotion at 960 fps on xperia 5?
No slowmotion video from Sony BOOO!!
00:57 your wrong BTEKT. It shoots at 720p, not 1080p. Silly from Sony. SD855 processor can do 240fps easily.
Nothing slowmo fitur in Xperia 5?
Thats kind of Sad that the Xperia 5 has no Video Stabilazation.
It does
is that green line issu?
You dont dee the difference between stabilisation at 1080 and 4K? Lol. Cmon man.
At 60p there is not much difference
iphone 11s camera is quite warm i dont like that
xperia 5 did not accept slowmo

Bro come on, even the iPhone 6s from 2015 performs a lot better! Too expensive for this little performance.
Let's stay honest.
This phone is absolute shit. I wish I never bought it when it came out. Let me rephrase that. The cameras are shit. Quality is shit.
Front camera is so bad it makes me sick 🤮 800 euros phone that is so sad!!!
