XPERIA 1 II vs SONY A7 III vs S20 ULTRA & MORE! Portrait Special - which is best? By sony365

Welcome to another rooftop review, I'm tom, the founder of b-tech and this video is all about portrait mode, we'll be comparing the Sony Xperia one mark ii with the is very difficult for me to say, whilst doing this with the Sony, a7 iii we're going to have the phone in auto mode to begin with, and then we're going to switch to pro mode and then actually, as a little surprise, at the end of this video we're going to throw in a couple of other phones just to give you even more perspective. I really hope you enjoy this video, and you find it useful. If you do, it would mean the world to me and the team here if you hit the like button and subscribe for more rooftop reviews enjoy the view. Thank you. So a couple of things about this video. What we are filming on is actually the Samsung Galaxy s20 ultra, and I'm incredibly impressed with this phone uh.

So there's that the second thing is that we will be throwing in a little surprise at the end of the video, because we've got an extra two phones that we're going to be just taking some portraits of Cassie with just to give you a bit more context, so the order is going to be the a73 versus the Xperia one mark ii in auto mode. Then we're going to go into pro mode, and then we're going to show you uh how that looks, and then a couple of more phones at the end so stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching. So here she is everyone say hi to tatty, tatty, say hi to everyone, hello, excellent! It's incredibly kind of her to volunteer to do this, because no one else um frankly was up for it or is beautiful. So let's get into it right now, okay, so we are now back into the studio which, if you follow us on Instagram you'll see is brand new.

We haven't kitted it out yet, but just as an audio test, I'm recording my voice now into the Xperia one mark ii. First, we want to look at the a7 iii here and just see how that is doing. I think you'll agree with Andres our photographer here and myself that the colors, generally speaking, are nice and natural. It's not too sharp and the area here at the top of the t-shirt is a little overblown, and I want us to focus on that, because we're gonna look at that same area with the other phones that we have here so then coming back over now to the Xperia one mark ii, and what we're seeing here is that we're struggling even more here with that overblown area that I mentioned at the top of the t-shirt and other than that, though, it's a great image, we're very happy. It's not too sharp or harsh natural colors beautiful depth to the image.

Yeah, we're really happy with this one. So when we now move to pro mode here on the Xperia one mark ii, you can see what we've done is. We've reined in the sort of areas of overexposure at the top of the t-shirt without degrading the rest of the image too much, and you can see that the face, especially here I mean it, looks fantastic. The skin is warm very natural. We were really happy with this image, and actually we don't have a problem with the fact that it's still a little overblown there on the t-shirt, yeah, the more we think about it.

We feel we've struck a perfect balance here, and we're very happy with the way this one has come out. Andres had a very, very good point here, and that is that the a73 is a thousand dollars right now more expensive than the Xperia one mark ii. So let's not forget that, so before we get into the other phones here, let's go back to the a7 3, because we've put this into manual mode here and what we wanted to do was completely rein in the overblown area there. At the top of the t-shirt and you'll see, we managed to do that reasonably successfully and, generally speaking, although the image is a bit darker, it really looks good now, what's fascinating here when we compare the a7 3 with the Xperia 1 mark ii is we're seeing obviously a very similar approach both suffer from these overblown areas, but it's worth that trade-off. We feel because the images are so natural.

Looking now when we shared these images with our friends here and in the guys in the studio, the feedback we got was that actually the Xperia one mark ii images were the most popular. We did not expect that, or what do you think looking at these pictures? I do want to say one thing before I forget, and that is that the building that we are filming here against is gold and highly reflective. So you will notice some gold here, and you'll be thinking. What is that? Well, that's what it is. It's very important that I mention that so, let's cut now to the galaxy s20 ultra and straight away.

The thing that really hit us here is that it's so much more vivid that isn't necessarily a better thing as you'll notice, for example, the gold reflection from the building is really quite extreme. Looking here and just generally speaking, it's a less flattering portrait. We feel as the some lines here are over accentuated. Perhaps, and actually, if we look at the hair, you'll notice, it's so dark, it's so black that we are losing some of that vital contrast which weirdly enough. If we now transition to the iPhone 11 comes out really well the hair.

Here, it's beautiful because you can see how layered it is, we're very, very happy with this image. It's a very warm image. The area here on the t-shirt that we had seen was sort of overblown on the Sony. Uh products in particular here isn't overblown at all, and actually it looks fantastic. The whole image is warmer visually, very, very pleasing and overall, among the guys in the studio and some of our friends here, this was an extremely popular picture.

It was very well-received. How do you think it's stacking up so far? Um, and also actually, we've got one more for you. Let's see how it rocks against the pixel four, so the pixel here. Actually, we felt it was a pretty similar overall effect to the Samsung in the sense that again, it's very, very vivid a lot of contrast. It's a beautiful image, and we are happy with it, but it's a very, very different kind of image to the two songs at the beginning.

I think you'll agree. So what Andres- and I have tried to do here- is just put all these phones against the camera- see how they compare look at the different approaches. But what we really want to know is putting all of these images together here now, which do you prefer and why we would love to know- and I personally will see you down in the comments thanks so much for watching uh here's my little outro that I filmed hanging off the edge of the building. So thank you so much for watching another rooftop review um. I really am happy so happy with the comments uh that you've all made.
