Fujifilm X100 VI vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro Street Photography in Hong Kong

- I took the two best smartphone cameras -- Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro -- and the most hyped "real" camera (Fujifilm X100 VI) out to the streets of Hong Kong for a street photography test. I concede I am not skilled enough as a "real" photographer to fully take advantage of the Fujifilm X100 VI's full capabilities, but I was interested in seeing how these cameras perform mostly in point-and-shoot situations anyway. By no means is this a scientific test, just something I did for fun.

Your method of comparison between these devices is what most of us normal layman people would do. Buy it, take it to the streets and test it just like you did. You put it out in real world situation without predetermined condition.
Yup, laymen should stick with their auto mode phone instagram photography, he didn't even know to pull shadows and highlights which would surpass any phone HDR...
I'm surprised at how close the color reproduction of the Xiaomi is to the Fujifilm.
everyone thinks xiaomi is worse than others, but now you can realize it its bacuz they made it to look like a real camera
@@Top_____G Xiaomi uses the Leica color philosophy. And that´s the reason it is not liked by many. Leica may excel in certain areas but their color philosophy is not a good general purpose one. To say that Xiaomi colors do fit the colors of the Fuji is wrong. It depends on how you adjust your settings on the Fuji.
In the examples shown the Fuji is mostly underexposed. Which might be true to life but not the best choice for a good photo. Also there are many different color profiles to choose from on the Fuji cameras.
@@smsgvg5994ehm you can change the settings and adjust the expose (fuji has more range of course) and other things on the xiaomi too, but i know most people want to use the automatic. but you can easily change the settings to get more vivo looking images.
Finally.. someone appreciates the opposite way xiaomi 14 ultra have taken
@@Top_____Gglad im not in the “everyone”. I hate the auto HDR shots with all shadows being blown out.
The vivo X100 pro is the best phone camera I've ever had or seen this year. This phone camera is ahead of its time.
Give me that Fujifilm X100VI to out match VIVO in every single shot. Photography is not just pressing the shutter button. Once you understand what you can achieve with a real camera you can't take pictures with smartphones anymore:)
@@f.iph7291i strongly disagree.
@@f.iph7291maybe so, but the appeal of smartphones with insane cameras is that you will always have your phone on you, whereas a compact camera or DSLR you will have to carry around as an extra. So unless you're really into photography or a pro, the majority will prefer a phone in their pocket.
Sure, Jan 🤣
@@sconcepx any camera within 5 years ago till now, with a cheap kit lens destroys smartphones fake portrait shots, flash shots and sports shots. Slap a cheap tele lens and you will outmatch all smartphones for much much better telephoto zoom shots. How about wildlife or flying birds or running kids photography? I am not hating on smartphones because i use mine a lot but the fact that people believe you can take comparable shots to a camera with a smartphone is ridiculous to me. Also beginner photographers are into HDR which can be outmatched by any camera with exposure bracketing techniques. Photography is a different world and if you want to unlock your camera's full potential you must learn it first. Btw This Fuji X100VI has multiple HDR settings in the camera which the reviewer unfortunately doesn't know about.
Great job! This was the test I’ve been waiting for.
Every time I watch a camera comparison video of Vivo X100 Pro, I feel glad and thankful to you Ben.
Just because of your positive reviews about Vivo, I made the decision to buy it.
Loving it, and everyone around who sees the camera samples of my phone just gets speechless. 😊
Thank you
how.s the battery life ? i love my x90 pro+ but is draining battery like crazy on idle and a lot are complaining, barely can get 5 hours of screen time in a day before it goes below 20% and have to recharge
The battery life on my X100 Pro is exceptionally good. It lasts two days comfortably for me. In case you have doubts, you can watch the Tech chaps battery drain test comparison. In fact it beats iP 15 PM, and you know how good the charging speed is 100 Watts with 120 Watts charger in the box.
@@iazamkhanthat's nice to hear, are you using the origin OS version from china or the interntional funtouch ?
@@adyady3099 I am using the one with Futouch OS. It was officially released with Futouch OS in India.
Thanks for the nice video and your kind way to show, explain and compare the tech facts. I was suprised about the good performance of the vivo in hard situations. a few years ago nobody had expected that smartphones come that close to real cameras.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra is the best device to capture moody image at the moment.
and oppo find x7 ultra
That's debatable sagger lover
Another excellent, informative video. Thanks Ben.
Thanks for the walking photo tour. I’m amazed at the Xiaomi and it looks to be very tempting for a smartphone. Also, it would be interesting to see some more HK or other location tours.
Ben great point about smartphones like the ones in the video nailing focus. Thanks for the video.
If you had to pick one between the Vivo, Xiaomi and OPPO, which would you choose. Specs on paper say that the OPPO should be as good if not better than either the Vivo or the Xiaomi.
@@joshuabergeman354 I would go OPPO for this reason. Yes, it does have the better hardware but another thing is even without a global version it's just like picking up a OnePlus phone as far as the software in the USA. The vivo's value is going to be tough to beat though.
@@BarryJohnson the similarly to OnePlus is why I ended up deciding on the OPPO. If I'm spending north of $1,000 I would like to know that I can enjoy the software as much as the hardware. And while I know that the OPPO doesn't have a global rom I don't really need that.
@@joshuabergeman354 Yep, I only had to disable like three things that were not in English and something I would never use. It's been great.
@@BarryJohnson thanks for sharing your thoughts! I already made the purchase decision but it's good to know that I was correct in my assessment.
ben, this comparison video was insane!
I really enjoy your videos. It feels like an honest, real review. Like stuff I would do to compare phones and decide which one is best for me. Thank you, Ben
Thank you
@@bensgadgetreviews sir could u do sharp r8s pro comparisons
Damn this is your top video of street photography.. love it
great job Ben. i liked how u made this video true to your normal style of delivery and presentation. this made it stand out from the sea of x100vi content out there. im sure alot of folks considering to buy this camera would consider more carefully after watching this video. cheers mate
Thank you!
Agree
I really wanted to see this comparison, realistically you were the only person to do it haha. Your finding confirmed a lot of my suspicions, there is definitely a fashion accessory thing going on with the fujis. 🍻
More so with phones and shoes
Ben, thanks for this kind of video and also for randomly including Vlad Savov! It would be fantastic to not just *see* your everyday life, but *hear* you talk to friends like Vlad :)) I miss The Verge Mobile Show from back in the day, and you triggered my nostalgia real hard! Cheers and keep up the great work 🤘🙌
Thank you!
The HDR on the Vivo is crazy mehn 😮
Unrealistic²
actually it has been weakened in favor for more contrast since X100 series, if you comparedit for exampleX90pro+ it has stronger HDR that llike NEVER blows out.
X100 on the other hand is not good at direct light sources, but still stronger than competitions
@@AlphaVisionProwhat is realistic,like on 3:25 to have the brown door look completely black? is that how you see with your own eyes in daylight because i highly doubt and HDR can always be disabled on vivo, but i enjoy it so much.
@@petertrexnah, my x90 pro+ has perfect HDR, on 1st months it was a bit aggressive and unrealistic but after some updates it looks the same as I see with my own eyes
Honor Magic6pro vs Xiaomi14Ultra which one you recommend
Thanks for keeping it real, Ben.
I am old enough to have used film cameras, in the days before smart phone cameras. Fuji's retro design and IU took many of us back to those days, even before the Instagram fame of the x100V. I have the X100S, which feels very slow these days, as phones have improved so much! Phone prices came down with economies of scale of manufacturing but cameras don't sell as many units these days. Sorry but I am not going to pay extra for a cult camera!
VIVO X100pro Is killing not just DSLR but Others SmartPhones as well! in field of photography! Zeiss&Vivo V3 Chip is really Amazing! Best Camera phone by far....👏📸
Thank you for your details.
I like your videos, it's comprehensive and objective
Fantastic video, and you nailed it 07 man, one of my mid range canon lenses cost more than the Fuji camera and the phone, i love my cameras , for wildlife and sport they are unreplaceable, however..... for day to day use, for a relaxing holiday without having to carry around and watch over 20k of gear all the time, for every moment i ever missed a great shot because the camera wasn't on me, both those phones are exceptional, and yes, exactly as you said, they aren't just a camera, they are a life essential device for 99.9% of people so as the Fuji costs £1600 in the UK and the full 14 ultra kit including camera kit and a free Xiaomi 6 pad is on offer for £1299 at the moment, I would go for the phone. It will be a great back up, always on me camera, or a great way to learn photography for someone if they use pro mode . Again, great job, great idea and well done
Great review Ben. Thanks for your honest opinion as always. 😊
Thank you
I gave up all my dslr and mirrorless in my dry box. I agree with you, mobile phones have much more functions than a single camera. For now it is hard to tell which is which in social media. I am glad the camera are excellent in mobile phones, it is so nice to bring it everywhere to shoot especially I am a father, mobile phone is light and handy and most important it I can share the pics at once. From Vivo X70Pro plus to current Xiaomi 14 Ultra, I am very excited to shoot as many as I can with this super phone. Thanks for the comparison. As a HongKonger, I am proud of you!
In the 90s living in the OC, California, I owned a Minolta 35mm with a 50mm lens, bought and developed my Fuji film at Savons. Always chose the 5x7 photo prints. The best prints. I have hundreds of photos.
I bet you have lots of photos of p Diddy after parties 😂
Great video as always! I think we can all agree that if you want just to point and shoot the flagship phones are the way to go as you will get the best results. On the other hand if you plan to shoot raw and edit it afterwards in the lightroom or photoshop those photos would destroy the ones taken from the phone. This is due to the fact that big sensor captures so much data and shadows can be recovered so easily.
People might love strong HDR but I kinda like to keep things natural like in DSLR's...so my Vote to XIAOMI ❤
what's so realistic on min 3:25 to have a brown door come back as black in daylight, is that how you see with your own eyes or what's realistic about it ?
@@adyady3099 good photos shouldn't have to follow how your eyes perceive colours. 35mm film is a prime example of this. if photos have to be as accurate as possible to the eye in terms of colour, photography would be an extremely dull art.
@@yoshitwomibruh i want my camera to capture the moment as i see it with my eyes, not with black spots in the middle of the day or blown out sky , that's now how my eyes see, you can disable hdr on vivo and get the bad pic if you want but you can't make better HDR photos on others, also you can always increase contrast in post but if the phone have dark spots, increading the light in post will make it lack details and look strange
@@adyady3099i think many prefer smth stylistically prettier than real life. but if you really want realism good HDR and found what you like then thats great
@@yoshitwomidon't know what is so pretty at losing details in shadow areas or have overblown sky or lights at night but whatever
Excellent review and interesting much enjoyed - the vivo pics are unbelievable
Ben proved to viewers that Xiaomi's lecia camera algorithm isn't bad. It just tries to mimick the look of digital cameras which I like so much. Thanks for making such video.
LOL
Unfortunately he proved he knows nothing about how to use a camera which is not surprising. He basically unlocked 5 percent of the cameras potential by shooting in Auto mode. He doesn't know about multiple HDR settings in the Fuji cameras. He didn't pixel peep not even one photo to show the world of difference there is between a camera and a smartphone. Xiaomi colors were also good buuut, you can edit your camera Raw files in thousands of ways.
@@f.iph7291calm down, he only recently purchased the Fuji camera
@@f.iph7291lol you obviously think these two phones are like iPhones and Samsung and just overprocess shit to bits. you are so ignorant, refusing to acknowledge that these two phones' photo output has rendition very similar to the Fujifilm. I have the 14 ultra, and while IQ is obviously not as good as my x100v, it's "close enough" and doesn't look like an oil painting like most phones. and combine that with so many more focal lengths at the tip of your fingertips it makes the shooting experience on these phones super fucking fun.
so stop bragging about how you know so much and dictate how a person should do a camera review. and just letting you know an xt30ii is nowhere near the upper echelon of digital cameras. any modern full frame camera, like in the context of the street photography, any modern digital Leica will smash shit out of most fujifilms that isn't GFX in terms of IQ.
@@f.iph7291also aren't the phones also shot in auto? why would he shoot in multiple HDR mode on Fuji then auto on the rest? it's not even a fair test at that point.
Love your unbiased video reviews
Thank you
Danke für diese verdammt interessanten Einblicke. Was aber für mich feststeht, die Mainkamera ist bei allen Referenzwürdig und verdammt abhängig vom persönlichen Geschmack.
Great content and camera comprision as always Ben's brother
Great content Ben, I agree with you about people getting more often high-end smartphones for shoot than picking cameras, sadly this doesn't help on the availability of Fujifilm because still out there a lot of people like me that loves photograph on cameras 😢
x100 Pro is just a beast, absolutely love mine, especially that telephoto. The macro shots ive gotten so far with it have blown me away. My main camera is the A7C but having this phone on me at all times is such a huge benefit.
Would love to see it?😊
Ben thank you for this great comparison--you did a really good job w/it. The Xiaomi & the Vivo really hold up well compared to the Fuji X100VI!
The pics in the Xioami and the Fujifilm look similar and have the camera look but the HDR of the Vivo resembles more of the human eye during the day. Our eyes have a high dynamic range
Fuji has multiple HDR settings in the camera menu. I love this guy but he should not review cameras because basically he doesn't know anything about photography and it is insulting to some extent
@f.iph7291 True
The Vivo is made more for social media where higher color range is better I think that also the good illumination for the 1inch sensor gives an edge both the camera and the Xiaomi,yeah you can adjust ISO but it might look off
The difference is that smartphone high dynamic range looks fake because it is ultimately a blend of multiple exposures. Those Fuji files hold a lot of information that you need to recover later to get VERY natural photos with really high dynamic range. Many people don't want to do that work and a phone is perfect for them. Many others love the process, and to them, a phone will always be inferior because a smartphone photo looks artificial
@@f.iph7291true, if he did knows he would never touch these smartphones again for a photography lol
These are the camera comparisons, I like. Please make more videos, Ben. I just replied on your Twitter video about the Xiaomi saying I would dunk on you (and I would). We just need more Ben videos like this.
Just imagine how stunning the VivoX100pro+ is going to be. The Mi14ultra is also a great camera, it just needs some good updates.
There's no x 100 pro +
X 100 pro is the top model
@@harshityashwardhan There is an X+/Ultra model coming, just check some information. Yes, it was about to launch in April but now delayed for may.
I wouldn't expect any big leap. In my opinion it will be the same level.
@@Giorgiio69 Agreed it will be at same level with minor tweaks. The X100 pro is so advanced already!
@@Giorgiio69 The Camera department would be a big improvement, better and longer Zoom capabilities plus SD8gen3 would be little better in overall performance.
Very good video, I would have liked to see some 100% crops but you already put a lot of work into this. Very good comments and insights too. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you
I am a photographer who use fuji and have a lot of lenses and even I still use a smartphone for travelling around. It's just very convenient like that. Camera is mainly for work, if I just want a snapshot modern phones these day do the job. Afterall it's not about the tool, it's about the people who behind it anyway. So, Ben you don't need to feel pressure to disclaim you are not a photographer, we all know you have a good eye to take great photo and that make you a photographer to some :)
And beside not all "purist" photographer think that bad about smart phone these day, only certain type of people perpetuate those nasty stereotype that photographer hate anything that is not at least full frame equivalent lol
Do what you love, with the tool you have, with the budget you can afford to. Don't mind those naysayer, they are bunch of grumpy "photographer" who just never get on with time.
Great review Ben.
Love the way you walk through the city while explaining Hong Kong.
Since you are usually busy exploring new tech , it might be challenging but maybe in future you may want to try Himalayan landscape shooting in Nepal or India. Would be an awesome comparo
Further , I usually use Gcam mod apks on Xiaomi phones ( cheaper ones ) to get decent results
1) I wonder how Gcam apk will do HDR on 14 Ultra
2) I wonder if there is a way to get Vivo camera Apk on 14 Ultra to get the max out of 14 ultra camera.
3) Would ND filters help to cut glare and make highlights better in night shots for 14 ultra
4) I think Leica modes are bit too processed. Is there an option to turn them off or only in Pro mode photography we can get non Leica mode results ?
If you ever got the chance to play around again there is high dynamic range mode on Fuji also where it bumps up the ISO but gives you a better dynamic range without any computational photography shenanigans. Probably would make it a bit more closer to smartphones. Love your reviews or blogs or vlogs or whatever hell they are they are awesome!
Very helpful comparison video. I have not seen a single photo where the camera does a better job than a smart phone, yet people are saying the opposite on the Internet. The truth comes out from a side-by-side comparison.
Thanks a lot for this comparison. I am keenly interested in street photography. Your work help me to make decision to buy VIVO x100pro...👍
Thanks for having Fujifilm! Maybe you shoukd try out an old ccd camera as well.
I'm impress of with each year, the smartphones close the breach with a dedicated pro camera. Great vid!
thank you
Only if we talk about phone's main camera, when we switch to ultra wide, telephoto or macro lenses area then phone looks really bad against dedicated camera.
@@PatrickWithCamera not with the ultimate new phones, like Vivo x100 pro, Oppo Find x7 Ultra and Maybe S24 Ultra. In the future the best phones will come with amazing 3 main cameras, 1 inch sensor or, like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra Photo add, with switch lenses.
@@linkfucho When it happens that all 3 lenses will be 1 inch then I will agree, but it will take time, because now we are at wall with size of the optics to achieve this. Only 23-25mm can be bright aperture and cover 1 inch sensor while keeping compact size, anything wider or longer than that is impossible for now.
I would exclude samsung, they are a bit behind oppo and vivo.
I'm a professionnal photographer with om system for 15 years and I find this review very interesting, for the first time I want to change my lg v20 for this 14 ultra it has everything. I'm from Europe but even the price I need one, the xiaomi match with fujifilm quality image. Thanks for this !
Thank you
good comparison & u are right on . I own the Fuji v for # of year , still keeping it as a collection , while the Xiaomi 13 & 14 are used daily & getting many many beautiful pictures , especially in recent HK flower show .
I am an amateur photographer and if you fully understand your gear with the fuji you can have way more dynamic range than any phone (you can shot on raw for un to 7 stops of dynamic range or use dr400 or hdr800 for point and shot high dynamic range). Also the big probable with smartphones after the bad lens quality is that they tend to shot at really low shutter speed like 1/10 or sometimes even seconds. It is fine if you have still subject since smartphones have way better stabilisation than any cameras (due to small sensor) but usually nothing is really still, for example three do slightly move or sometimes there are micromovements. In fact if you look closely you will notice that most of the time (especially in low light) the photo isnt sharp enough. A bright low light image of the vivo gets absolutely demolished if you just turn up the shadows on the fuji, but i understand that for the normal user a phone is an easieral and faster experience but it is not quite as fun as the experience you get with a fuji
and worth mentioning that most photographer will use bracketing and stacking to produce HDR images, so it's important really to know how to use the camera
Thanks for the great camera comparison video, Ben.
How many years of software updates does the Vivo X100 pro support?

Your vlog is very beautiful. What’s great about your vlog is that you mention that you’re not a professional photographer and videographer. You excel in reviewing, and many people can relate to your reviews. You always put disclaimer to your video.
Thank you Ben ❤ After seeing photos of xiaomi and vivo. I'm glad i chose xiaomi
Finally you answered the questions in my head
Amazing review!
Here's hoping that you do release a full review of the Xiaomi 14 ultra,as you stated at the end of your ZenFone 11 ultra review.
Hi Ben, Which one would u choose among xiaomi and vivo... only for camera?
For fast travel, a "photophone" is the best. It does a lot. If you are a real photographer or an advanced photographer with a model for publication, a camera like Panasonic Lumix S5 m2 or G9 m2 is an obligation.
I use my huawei photophone for my photo site scouting and it is great.
Thank for your video👍
Can software updates be able to fix some of the shortfalls in still photography to bring it on par with the Vivo X100 pro? It most definitely has the hardware capabilities IMO..
Awesome video by the way. The colours were just stupendous!👌
What a surprise to see Vlad!
cool that you are not restricted to a walled studio but an extremely bful city, love it!
Thank you!
I love Hong Kong. I met my wife there. Gotta get back to see it one day. Its on my bucket list!
@ben when are you putting the full review of the xiami 14 ultra ?
Thanks Ben for this Video!!The Vivo x100 pro Pictures Looks awesome👍Im thinking about to buy this Smartphone.
I have the vivo x100 pro and thinking about returning it right now. The ultrawide camera is really bad and the main camera can't do any close-ups without loosing details. Lots of unnatural bluriness around the image (not talking about bokeh now). It's more miss than hit for close-ups. It is the big sensor and optics. The main camera is just excellent when shooting from say 0,5m or more. The telephoto is great for what it is, good also for outdoor macro shots. I need to shoot lots of close things and text and it is not possible. Impossible to shoot simple text on A4 letter. It has strange uneven and artificial bluriness, 2x on main doesn't help much and you loose details. It makes strange halo around paper edges and other objects too. Ultrawide takes the close shot fine, but looks very noisy and worse than my huawei p20. I expected more, It doesn't work for me, I'm dissapointed.
@@spaceshipearth356cap
@@spaceshipearth356 Every big sensor and small lens gonna have this problem from shooting from close distance.
@@Giorgiio69 That's why I think they should use something other for close-up shots instead of the useless ultrawide camera with poor quality. It could have been a great phone! :( I have just returned it.
@@spaceshipearth356 I wonder why didn't you just use the 4.3x.
You should have also pointed out that dedicated cameras can also shoot RAW-format which allows you to have better control over the look of your photos in post processing. You could edit all the images you shot with Fuji to look basically the same as the phone pics.
I love ur reviews
I have Vivo x100 pro I really love this device, macro mode, portrait and many more modes are very good. I love it
Xiaomi is killing it here! Closest phone camera to a DSLR ever.
An amazing review. You covered so many points in such a short space of time, giving all the good stuff with no BS or padding! We definitely have to keep using the pause key to see all of your points 🙂 One take-away for me is that I no longer need to worry about previously abandoning my SLR, since mobile phone cameras have come on so much. Thanks a lot
it seems like there is a new vivo x100s pro coming out soon....any chance of testing the old 100 pro with the new and the x100 ultra? keep up the good work!
As you said, the reason why the camera looks worse than the phones is due to phones post processing shots the same moment the picture is taken, while with the camera you're forced to do it afterwards.
The advantage the camera has is being way easier to have its photos post processed, because they come out in much better quality, allowing the user to edit any mistakes. Unless you blow out the highlights, you can fix basically anything else you don't like.
Some people may prefer a phone, others may prefer a camera. But it's up to the user to decide what tool they wish to use to produce his or her art.
I would love to see a professional photographers comparison. They would be able to use the Cameras optimally.
@@spirittravels. I've seen comparisons between cameras and phones done by professional photographers before, but I've not seen any of the Fuji X100 VI yet. I hope someone makes one soon.
Not for Fuji which is dumb down camera with simulation and processing encouraging shooting in jpeg.
Good point and thanks for the insightful comment. ❤
You said camera files are much easier to post process but all these phones should have RAW file output too. They're not just stuck with the processed jpg.
This was a very interesting comparison, and it shows how the image processing target a certain look (I wouldn't even be surprised if the ML models have been literally trained like this): in this case Xiaomi 14 Ultra targeting a "straight out of a camera" look while the Vivo targets a "post processing HDR look". One thing I would love to see in a single phone camera app is the ability to choose between these looks: "raw", "SOOC", "Post HDR" instead of having to pick a phone to have a single look.
Totally agreed, it's making me extremely torn between choosing either the Xiaomi 14 Ultra or the Vivo X100 pro because I like both of those styles and would like to be able to pick and choose which scenarios I shoot with a particular style
I would definitely go on Xiaomi this one.. i like the natural looking and sharpness of the photos
there is a filter built-in the camera app. it is on the star/wand icon on the bottom right of the preview
You'll rattle the cage of Fjallraven gear and camera on my hip trendos Ben😂 good stuff anyway man.
Totally agree with you! I own two professional camera setups and when I go on a trip - I rarely take them with me anymore. Compare carrying eve two lenses and q mirrorless camera, all weigthing well over a kilo and requiring special care (when on airplane or moving). With the phone - just stuck it in the pocket and go. Also, can pay for the transport with it. But I still use my cameras for ultramacro or deep sky photography, so in _very_ specialized scenarios.
For me, the great advantage in very bright sunshine of a camera such as the Fuji is an EVF.
No struggling to compose on a screen with the sun shining on it.
Then there are phones such as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and the Huawei Mate 60 Pro extolling the benefits of a variable aperture.
Hey Ben for videos I strongly suggest using Motioncam Pro, it has better details than stock and there is no sharpening and noise reduction applied.
Please, awaiting detailed x14 ultra review
That's so true Ben, smartphones are really being taken for granted cause we've gotten so used to having the best of them around...
You definitely didn't get the best out of the 14 ultra too, that beast is a photographer's choice...
Using automatic doesn't do it justice, it's the amateurs mode...
Unfortunately they did remove RAW10 from 14 ultra
You haven't even touched using different film simulation (if you want high dynamic range, choose eterna) or making custom profiles, with which you can boost dynamic range even more by bringing down highlights and boosting shadows, you can add clarity, change saturation, etc. So if you have the opportunity, try different settings.
Really cool comparison! Really waiting to see what the Vivo X100 Ultra is going to cost and see if it will be worth the extra money or just get the Pro global version.
I wouldn't expect any big leap. In my opinion it will be the same level. Right now x100 pro is on 1 level up vs competition.
@@Giorgiio69 That's what I am thinking too but it gives a little more time for the Pro version to go down in price as well but we'll see.
I just got the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I have a whole load of "proper" cameras. Agreed on the value you get from smartphones, but sometimes you just want a device which only does one thing! But loving the photos out of the Xiaomi, more so than the Samsung S24 Ultra, I would say.
Great video. X100 pro seems the best in point and shoot.
I see myself! Nice work Ben. It's kinda crazy how good smartphone cameras are now! Like do I cancel my X100VI camera??? haha
I'm sure you'll be much more skilled at handling a real camera than my jpeg shooting ass 😅
The only thing I wish to get an update/fix on is the front camera HDR in indoor lighting. It tends to overexaggerates the brightness and shadows to the extreme, making naturally lit indoors like night, and making brightly lit spots and windows look like the sun.
Hi bro, thanks for the comparison. By the way, I have the Nubia Z50s Pro, if what you like most is street photography, maybe you could try it, since it natively comes with a 35mm lens. Maybe I'll do a review later. By the way, what camera did you film the video with?... Greetings from Mexico.
I dont know anything about professional camera but still curious does any professional camera also come with in built photo processing and auto mode similar to smartphone camera or all camera are manual mode only?
Nice Video man!!
For me my vivo is the best camera ive ever Had but sadly the global Version has Not the Same colours then the Chinese Version but its still so good..
U have the Chinese one or Not? Its unbelievable good!
great idea, thanks!
Thanks for this cool comparison! Between the Vivo X100 Pro and the Nubia Z60 Ultra which one would you choose? I saw some reviews where Nubia colours are even better than Vivo's, now I'm a bit confused which model is the phone camera king these days :)
excellent to compare
So the vivo is better for photos ?
I need to change my old phone but I’m hesitating
Between the 14 Ultra and the Vivo X100 Pro
Bonjour Ben tu préfère donc le Xiaomi 14 Ultra que Le Find X7 Ultra ou que le X100 pro? En smartphone général je veux dire
Which filter you're using to capture in vintage look in Vivo x100 pro
Would it have been a fairer comparison if you had adjusted the Fujifilm to match the shutter speed off the phones? Or match the auto settings of the phones for a real point and shoot showdown
Thanks for the comparison. Any chance you could do a comparison between the vivo and the Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra?
in malaysia the 14 Ultra costs the same as 1000€. for that price and all the free stuff that comes with it i dont think there has a better deal on the market and im so excited to test it!!
can't wait to see the vivo x100 ultra ben ur always be the first here
When is the full 14 ultra review coming out ?
A mirrorless camera will have more controls but if you going for just a auto point and shoot, a flagship phone camera usually wins. As a holiday photographer, my setup is; handphone for wideangle street scenes and Fuji xt5 with 30mm 50mm small fast prime lens.
supprised to see how Xiaomi 14 U is close to a professional Fujifilm camera. Xiaomi is definitely producing pohotos more closer to real camera. But the perk of smartphone cameras is the computational photography. In that sense, I believe Vivo takes the lead here by a notch. Vivo's software, despite impressive, needs some adjustment in terms of color, HDR, sharpness to balance between camera and smartphone camera.
