Sony Xperia 1 II vs Sony ZV-1 Part 1 - Realistic smartphone vs camera comparison By Supreet Mobile

Welcome, so it's phone season, the Sony Xperia 5 mark ii, the Google Pixel 5, the iPhone 12s. You might be looking to get one of these new smartphones for the camera features, but you might be making a mistake. This is the Xperia one mark ii, Sony's flagship smartphone, with a powerful, triple camera system with manual controls, and here is the Sony zv1 one of the best pocket cameras available, which packs a ton of capabilities at a lower price and a compact size. The honest truth is that many people are better off buying a camera like the zv1 rather than a new smartphone, and in this video I'm going to explain why I bought both of these this year, and I've been using them for a few months. This is a realistic comparison. I'm not saying that one is clearly better than the other.

It all depends on what matters to you. There are six big factors to cover: I'm going to cover three of them in this video and make sure you're subscribed. So you can see part two where I'll cover the rest and make sure to hit that like button while you're at it. So all three of these factors revolve around control and the first one is control over the aperture. Now with smartphones, like the opera, the aperture can't be changed on the lens.

So when we take a photo like this of this hydrant, we get some background blur, but we can't really configure how much background blur we want. Now with the zv1. We actually can change the aperture of the lens, because there is an aperture priority mode as well. Now we take the same sort of photo here, and you can see that we have a little of background blur, but since we can change the aperture, we can here make the background more clear, or we can. You know open up the aperture to 1.8 here and now the background is even more blurry and this sort of control is what we get when using dedicated cameras and something smartphones still struggle with today, and this is why we have portrait modes and phones today. The shots like this can still be tricky for portrait mode to really get the subject in focus, and it's worth knowing that if we zoom in here with the zv1, the background gets even more blurry.

So next is control over the zoom with cameras like the zv1, the zoom is continuous, so we can stop anywhere in between that 24 to 70 range and get a high quality shot, but smartphones like the opera. You know a lot of them have like triple camera systems. If we stop anywhere in between it's going to be a digitally zoomed photo. So if we take a look at an example here, here's a shot of a barn with the Xperia at 24 millimeters looks pretty good and here's the same shot with the 70 millimeter. Now, if we take a shot in between here and zoom in you'll notice that the texture on the roof of the barn is lost now, if we take a similar shot with the zv1 in a similar range, you can see that we still have that level of detail, and it's because phones are having to digitally zoom in between those ranges.

It's also worth noting that smartphones, like the opera, have ultra-wide lenses. So we can get shots like this that the zb1 can't- and this is a trade-off that we have to deal with. So third, is control over the settings. Now with smartphones, like the Xperia one mark ii, we get quite a bit of control, especially with the built-in photo pro and cinema pro apps. But cameras have even more control and cameras like the zv1 have quite a bit of control in the video area with the zv1 we get picture profiles where we can record in s block 2 slot 3 in the cine modes, which give us a lot of options for getting the colors that we want and then being able to tweak the colors when we edit.

It also has a ND filter which enables cinematic video by allowing us to slow down the shutter speed in bright conditions, and this is really convenient to have inside the body. It's worth noting that even with the Xperia phones, the Sony sponsored films that were created, the filmmakers had to us end filters and clip them on the phone to get that cinematic footage. In summary, there are many factors to consider when deciding between a smartphone or a camera, as your next purchase, smartphones tend to pack clever automatic modes and image processing, which is all very helpful when you're starting out and if you want an automatic shot, but as you go deeper into the world of photo and video, you'll probably find yourself craving more control and while phones like the Xperia one mark ii, have pushed the boundaries on what a manual camera can be in a smartphone. A dedicated camera like the zv1, still offers quite a bit more control, and it's really a stepping stone on the path to professional cameras. If that interests you so in this season of new smartphones, we're going to see many new flashy camera features and while they're fun, some of them are useful.

The depth of control that you get on dedicated camera might be more fulfilling for you in the long term, because the deeper you dive in the more you'll learn and the more you discover if you decide to buy the zv1 or the opera, consider using my link below as a small channel. I greatly appreciate it and if you are looking at the Xperia for the camera features, I think the five mark ii is a great option. Hopefully you found this helpful.
