Let's Talk Tech
We can FINALLY wrap up the Sony XPERIA camera reviews!
Because the 5ii is so similar to the 1ii, we can also combine TWO reviews in ONE! Here’s the final word on Sony’s hardware this year, as I see it.
NOTHING shoots like a Sony, but does that mean it’ll be the right fit for your photo needs? Let’s dig in! Continue reading “Sony XPERIA 1ii and 5ii Camera Conclusion! A PROPER Camera in Your Pocket!”
This year marks a generational improvement to phone camera tech. Larger sensors, more pixel dense arrays, a focus on higher quality video.
The V60 takes advantage of this new trend, and it’s right on the pulse. Images are more photographic. Video is more cinematic. Low light performance is incredible.
Yet for all the improvements we see on this main camera, this is still a “cost cutting” year for LG. Some of the peripheral camera tech hasn’t kept up as well…

We shouldn’t forget that the iPhone 11 Pro was also released on the promise of features to come in later updates.
Months after launch, nearly halfway towards the announcement of the next premium iPhone, have those “pro” promises been realized? Can the most expensive (non-folding) 4G phone of 2019 still duke it out against the new crop of incoming 5G Androids?
Will this $1099 64GB phone be left behind on software features like my $999 iPhone XS was?

Let’s take a closer look at photo and video performance from the world’s top selling manufacturer, making claims of a “pro-grade” camera.

Wading in to some expanded coverage on the Nokia 9. Lot’s of people asking about comparisons, RAW vs RAW, low light vs Night Sight. There’s a lot happening here, so we can have a conversation about what this phone is doing, and show off a few samples, but it’s REALLY not ready for a full review…

It was REALLY difficult finishing this review. Getting the news that Razer was gutting their phone department. It’s tough not feeling like this is a dead end. With so much other work, I almost bailed on this. However, I spent all that time shooting. I had the samples. We should finish this. Let’s finish this.

One of the biggest issues when looking at smartphone camera performance is consistency. If you can’t compare similar samples from different devices, taken under similar conditions, then it’s difficult for consumers to gauge performance outside of a “take my word for it” attitude from the reviewer.
Real world conditions, consistent locations and subjects, mostly handheld, here’s the master list of camera reviews I’ve produced. If you want to see how a Note 8 stacks up against a Note 4, here’s where you can find those reviews for staging your own comparisons. Enjoy!
