February 13, 2021 at 5:57 pm
@Iain Wilks which of them has an HDMI port? Or a 360 degree 5G antenna? Or is made specifically to work with their pro equipment……most of it already being SONY equipment (Alpha cameras, FX video cameras, Cine Alta etc…)? You do understand that existing smartphones made for mass consumption are not actually professional devices (no matter what name they slap on them), and nor do they do what this phone does for professionals? You do know that Apple and Samsung don’t make the camera, and video equipment used by professionals?
Iain Wilks
February 13, 2021 at 6:15 pm
@Little patience for self righteous moral hypocrites We shall see if it makes it onto production then ? I know plenty of pro photographers who don’t use of need this kind or tech. Biggest fail IMHO is the size of the image when it’s being used as a viewfinder.

And how would that give a professional what they need to do their job? You realise that all the equipment you would need to buy to be able to have a pro set up for photos, video, workflow, broadcasting etc…..would cost at least as much as the Xperia pro…..most likely more.

February 13, 2021 at 5:51 pm
Reading some of the comments it’s absolutely mind boggling how many people (who supposedly follow tech) cannot get their heads around a phone being an actual professional device (not just a marketing gimmick), and being made for, having a feature set, and being priced for actual professionals. It’s not a mass market consumer phone and no one is pretending it is. It’s literally a phone that can double as several pro devices, and fit into SONY’s pro camera eco-system (alpha cameras, Airpeak drone, FX video cameras). But instead you have morons whining about the price, and making idiotic comments about iphones. Apple’s marketing sure has succeeded at making a whole bunch of people clueless, or believing that there’s only one way to do anything 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦. These same people defend Apple charging 2500 bucks for a monitor stand. And if Apple had made an actual professional level device like this they would be jizzing themselves over it.

Well, I watched professional photographers’ blog, this phone lacks many features other external screens Sony also sales. For external storage, the phone’s memory card is no better than the camera’s. 5G connection is only for city vlogger

avenuePad
February 14, 2021 at 4:06 pm
I disagree that the Xperia 1 ii and 5 ii are meant for “pros”. It’s a consumer phone with a fully featured camera. If you can customize your iOS 14 homescreens with that convoluted method of downloading images to switch icons then fiddling around with camera features is a breeze. Knowing how to use proper camera settings is not a steep learning curve. Everyone, and their dog, is a photographer now. Just watch a couple YouTube tutorials and you’re on your way.
Oh, and you can now officially rig the Sony Xperia 1 ii and 5 ii to work as a camera monitor.

Like damn it’s been repeated this phone isn’t for average consumers it’s for; like it’s name suggests ‘Pros’.
And I know other companies release ‘Pro’ phones but only as a marketing ploy but when Sony says Pro they literally mean for Professionals not us normies
