    I spent months in watching camera comparison videos, I saw all in your channel, after all that I bought Pixel 4a. Seeing this video makes me feel so lucky for choosing Pixel.
    Great editing, great presenting, great music choice.

      Hi. Do you have an instagram? Wondering if the auto mode of sony’s camera tends to behave good in most situations or you mostly use the manual mode? I just love the “almost dslr” look of sony’s photos, but the probable lack of versatility is what makes me think a lot is it worth it. The thing is, I enjoy photography, but what worries me is whether my folks will be able to do some shots of me without the obligation to know all these iso and shutter-speed adjustments.

    Disagree, I have had both phones now, and have done some comparison, the Xperia 5 II and the pixel 5 have their own pros and cons on cameras, in most of scenarios, I prefer the Sony as more realistic and better than the pixel 5 with huge amount of detail, but in some rare scenarios say taking a photo through a dark room window, and the darkest (room) and the brightest bits (Sun) could be slightly better with the pixel 5, where you can find a little bit of more details. The review is very much biased.

    • @stanimirnikolov159
      @stanimirnikolov159 Před rokem +1

      I have the 5 II, as evident from the video, there is barely any post-processing, that we are used to seeing, to bring out the details and fix the dynamic range. The philosophy is that you're meant to do the post-processing yourself. The standard camera app sets the dials automatically, based on some predetermined conditions and parameters, just to get you consistent performance between any scenario. You either use the camera button to focus with half press and full press to take the photo. The software button automates the 2 step process. You have to be steady in shots with less light, tho... gets blurry with shaky hands.
      Imo Sony should have done a double approach: keep the Pro apps as is and let the normal app do post-processing automatically, like everybody else does.
      Because unless you've got the muscle memory and photography theory knowledge , you can't do quick shots, which is not convenient for everyday activities.
      Compared to the other flagships, the Xperia phones lack the convenience of the others for regular every day ease of use.

    Pixel 5 appears to be better, but editing photos in Snapseed and Lightroom will produce less artifacts in Sony photos, because Sony's photos are simply more natural. I'm an Xperia user and can relate to that. Pixel's photos are simply over-enhanced and difficult to edit when the phone's software over compensates for the lack of light.

      Few will use it but it works well with apps like OpenCamera or F5-V (also they make exposing a bit tricky for long exposures).

    I own a pixel 5, and I'm going to say, it's been a let down.
    The camera is good because of software and the hardware is garbage, if you get one you'll realize this with just using the phone a couple times. The phone is touted for an amazing battery with the 765 snapdragon, however it is slow in processing. A lot of reviewers said, "you won't notice the difference" that is a lie. I had an xperia 5 and an s20fe. Both ran smoother and gave far better media consumption experiences. Battery saver mode on the phone is a joke because the phone becomes choppy as hell once it's activated.
    If you get an Xperia 5 ii, it will demolish the pixel 5 in hardware, media consumption, and overall experience. I have the normal xperia 5 and I go back to it constantly now.
    If you get the pixel, the point and shoot camera does a great job most of the time, but processor killed the quality of this phone. Software is amazing, but google like to be cheap and the speakers are garbage. I got the pixel 5 for 450 an I still feel like I got ripped off. An I enjoyed this phone quite a lot in the beginning, but you can't ignore the issues forever. Google's hardware is the main issue

I loved my Pixel 3XL, until the speakers on it, and speakerphone (on my wife's and mine) went out and we couldn't use them. I just want a really good phone again that does well, is fun to have, and is enjoyable. I'll miss the point and shoot abilities, but the day to day has really, really sucked for me and my wife. Constantly drops calls (on Verizon, in and near cities) and cuts it's own data off. Oh, and overheats and cuts off when taking videos. Honestly, the last phone I loved was my Moto Z Play. I don't know why, it was so simple a phone and it was easy to use. It was a beauty of a phone, but the camera was awful. I can't stand Samsung's and refuse Apple, so I am really wanting to try the Experia ii. Thanks again for writing about this and I hope my information helps someone else.

    Sony on a lot of the night shots makes the blacks look black and no fragments in the night sky. Also the white tones on sony were spot on more then the pixal in most of the shots. Day shot were almost identical but there were some blow outs of the sky. All done on auto mode which if any of you have had a sony you would know that this is a major improvement on the auto mode side of things. Pixal is a amazing camera phone . But they never upgraded the cameras from the 4 they just refined it evan more. If you are a person willing to take your time to find the perfect photo then use pro mode or a actual camera.. If you are walking around and want to get that shot real quick then go with the pixal or iphone or the samsung or evan lg v series. All give you amazing photos . If you are a selfie camera person don't buy the sony or the v series.

    Thanks, Nick. The Pixel 5 edges it, in my opinion, especially in night shots where there is much more shadow detail. I'm happy to have my choice reinforced of a recently purchased Pixel 4a 5g (same camera as the 5). My only issue with it is the lack of manual white balance, which means that interior shots under LED lighting (warm white) result in captures which are too cool, and often need editing to correct.

    Me personally liked some of the Sony shots more. Stuff like Sony's eye AF, 20 FPS shooting, superior slow mo and 4K capabilities...plus pro camera / video apps would be enough to win me over.
    If I were a point and shoot kinda guy I'd probably choose the Pixel but I prefer controlling how I want my pics to look. I'm pretty confident I could take the same if not better shots with the Xperia albeit with a little more effort...tho I wouldn't even use that selfie camera 😂

    • @seventysevencats
      @seventysevencats Před 3 lety

      The Pixel 5 also does 4K filming, has full support for camera2api, so works very well with apps like OpenCamera for manual mode with bracketing and stuff. Slowmo isn't anything special though and I do like some shots on the Sony here, especially the Sunset.
      I'm too not too happy with the point and touch approach of Google (copying Apple?) but their computational raw gives some of best results in post (Lightroom/Photoshop), with image properly denoised (luma and chroma denoiser included in the computational raw). If we could get a more natural raw while keeping the noise removal, that would be perfect.
      That made me get a Pixel 5 but in the end, although I like it a lot (and even if it's a bit slow at time), the camera hardware pale compared to the Note 20 Ultra, which has Gcam versions that work OK (not perfect) - 7.3 from Urnyx.
      So for now I'm back to the Note 20 Ultra with Gcam. I just miss the astrophotography mode that doesn't work on the Samsung.

    It's a mixed bag from both phones to my opinion. Lack of computational photography /HDR / proper photo post-processing leads to very bad dynamic range and blown out highlights on Xperia 5 II. And that's very sad result for a nearly $1000 camera-focused flagship phone. I really like Xperia 5 II and I wish it was a bit like a Pixel in terms of camera system performance. Night shots without Night mode are remarkably good on Xperia. Selfie camera is rather a piece of junk there though.

    Had the 5ii, returned it because the default camera was just grim for someone coming from a 2 year old Huawei flagship. Apparently you have to use the two Pro apps to get the most out of it - which is just bullshxt for maybe 95% of users. Even Sony on their cameras know that you keep selection to one level through the dial, and they masterminded modes like "superior auto" that literally brings all the technical functionality of the camera to bear for the benefit of the consumer. First they were using inferior sensors to the ones they were supplying other manufacturers, and now their lack of investment in computational chops is showing.
