I keep disliking this camera. It goes against any ambition of producing better - I dare not say: more beautiful, more filmic-quality - images, but throws us back into white trash reality tv aesthetics. (Chris and Jordan nailed that in their intro of their DPreview video, using it for a mock-shampoo influencer ad.)

I really think that this camera doesn't belong to this forum - but since I am neither the owner, nor a moderator, it's just my 2 cents.

If it is a success, then who knows what the future might hold for pocketable 'all-in-one' cameras. New small memory cards are on their way, making continuous raw shooting on future pocketable cameras an option.

Here's an in-depth overview of the camera: 

Your thoughts?

Personally, I think this seems like a really fun camera to shoot with.

Sensor tech is cool but I'm more excited about the overall package which Sony seems to be in a lead position with Alpha series team & Alta Cine pro line features trickling down into their new: Xperia 1 II

4K60p. Venice CS. H265. 23.98FPS. Manual focus. Shutter Angle etc..

Alongside triple lens Zeiss DPAF system.

 

Not impressed:

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III?

Can we get some decent phones with 1-inch sensors already ffs?

I like the design of the Canon XA-series.

IBIS on this camera is not looking good. Rushed product?

25Mbits/s max, H.264 encoding, 30fps max at 1080p, using the raspivid application (as of the 30th of April): https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/applications/camera.md

An updated rx100V with continuous RAW at 10-bit with autofocus and stabilization.

Would have been nice to see lidar integration for autofocus.

Anything from Frank Budgen.

It's stil worth it... if you're into buying modules and a new phone that supports it so that you could activate your product in order to use it (if you're lucky enough to pass their online activation service).

Definitely one of my favorites.

Sloppy software that needs patching... What's this, the video game industry?
