Post here your Xperia-themed videos

Couple of months ago my friend has shown me a video of the 2007 Macworld with the legendary introduction of the iPhone. And the video was great - Jobs did a fantastic job (sic) presenting all of the advantages of that device, it was a pleasure to watch and was truly convincing for the viewer. I got my Xperia recently (5th Feb to be specific) and immediatly I though that it would be great to be able to watch some kind of videos like that, but about the X1.
Well, the problem is - I really couldn't find any for download - obviously there were some on YouTube, but not only they were bad quality but also not downloadable (I realize that there are ways to download videos of YT, but that means I would have to suffer the low quality and often fragmentation).
So here I am - asking you to post anything you have on Xperia - from short ads to full-lenght reviews or presentations. Downloadable versions will be most appreciated, but naturally if you know some video that's for streaming only, don't hesitate to also post it.

Just how capable is Sony's 20.7mp camera? - Let's see

Hey folks!
I'm a hobby photographer, and I'm interested in how capable Sony's latest 20.7 megapixel image sensor actually is.
I've seen Flickr groups for specific devices only and for "Xperia photography" in general but I haven't found one yet that only features all devices with the same (or similar) image sensor.
So I created one :angel:
I'd love to see this group flooded with the best of the best photographs taken with phones featuring this 20.7 megapixel image sensor.
So if you have a couple of nice pictures already on Flickr, taken with either the Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact or Z2, please share them in this group - it would make my day!

Help me help others, by adding photos to show just how capable Sony's 20.7mp camera really is! :cyclops:
Also, if you have any questions about photography with the latest Sony phones, you could ask me here in this thread or you could even start a discussion on my Flickr group!
I'm not a Pro Photographer (yet) but I can answer quite some questions for people who just start out with photography
[Fun fact: I actually got into photography through cameraphones - starting with the SE K800i followed by the SE Satio]

Hi,
Cool idea for a group in Flickr. I have album on my Flickr account with photos from my Z1 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72157641744588983/).
I have photos from Xperia S too, but I have tons more from Z1. This phone is beast! I love it!
I'm experimenting all the time with photography and video. I recorded one advertisement and a couple of sketches for TV. It's awesome.
I'll post more later...

Please post those ads for TV that are recorded with the Z1. I'd love to see those. Please reply with quote.

Here are some of the videos that are already on YouTube.

We didn't had camera available for recording so we used my Z1. I'm losing quality when exporting the final video from Adobe Premiere. The original clips are way better than these on YouTube. But, as far as I'm concerned, nobody here noticed any difference on TV or for the Ad...
I like to experiment with the phone. I'll have to learn the camera man to record properly (since I'm in all of the videos) with the focus, the other is great. Hope you'll like it.

Camera samples:
Photos are sharp, good amount of detailed captured. But it's poor at low-light like most if not all Chinese mobiles in this price range.

Overall I really like this phone, it has a great 1080p panel that is bright, at 6.44" it's perfect for media consumption. The build is good, amazing battery life thanks to the 4850mAh battery. Great audio quality.
My only complaints are obvious, it's huge and hard to pocket. The 4k video quality is good, but some artifacts and very poor in low light.
If you're after a very large phone that offers great battery life with an okay camera and excellent screen. This Mi Max is worth a look.

Thanks a lot for this review!
Extremely helpful and really well done!
I just order a mi max 32go.?
Sent from my Shark 1 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Can you clarify the video recording format for 2160p and 1080p resolution: h.264 or h.265?

Thank you again.
Best regards,
cdr
