Welcome Back. Glad to see your new videos on UKposts again.

Welcome back! Enjoyed the video as always

welcome back! Loved the photos, they speak by themselves as you said!

I've been using Sony Xperia for many years. It is time to take a break from the models, so I've been looking into Xioami. The first thing I look for in smartphones is camera features and photo qualities.

I wish phone manufacturers enbraced the 50mm focal length more. A few years back a few phones had dedicaed "50mm" lenses but now it's just a cropped version of the main, "23mm" lens which means pretty nasty images. What I'd give for a phone with a 1 inch sensor and a 50mm equivalent lens.... (this may be physically impossible without a 30mm thick phone, idk)

So glad you are back. I’ve been using the Xiaomi Ultra14, and for the times I don’t have my ‘proper camera’ with me, it’s amazing.

Welcome back Ulysses! Missed your uploads and your work!

Good to see you’re back 🎉

Welcome back mate!

Great sound at this video! Please tell more about your audio setup?

hes backkk

So well made thank you

It's like my Samsung Galaxy Camera plus the phone features like calls and updated OS. ❤❤❤❤

Good to see you back ❤ Phone cameras are becoming more and more impressive every like 2 years, sometimes every year, but you’ve mentioned one really good point - background separation(not bokeh) and depth of field, phone cameras really lack that. I’ve got iPhone 15 and G7X Mark II, no matter what I tried on my iPhone (FilmicPro, Blackmagic Camera and other RAW photo tools), it just never gives that heartwarming and film like photo or video quality like my G7X

Hi! I entered in photogrophy because of you and that video of how to make photos look like film. I bought a Canon G9x Mark II but few months later replace it with a G5x Mark II. My question is do you really see this phone as a replacement for a compact camera? I'm pretty sure wide sensor is, and probably even better. But if you use zoom, which is most of the times for me, can hold smaller sensor and computational photography vs a compact camera? Thanks a lot and I love your videos

Whoa! you've been missed.

As you mentioned, is there problem with focusing subjects?

To think yesterday I was like "Ulysses hasn't posted anything in a while, I wonder if he's OK"

ninguna mencion hacia el modo log ? me interesa bastante

How did you take the photo @13:15? I'm trying to figure out how you got motion blur on one part of the frame but not the other without a flash. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to cause that.

Finally! A video drop. Nice street photography shots. Regarding the grip, they have the angle by the fingertips all wrong. With my hand hanging down, I would like the grip to be able to hang on the tips of my fingerstips. Without the strap, it has slipped out of my hands many times. The kit does make the whole Device bulkier and heavier, so I stopped using it altogether especially since when using filters, it adds reflections and also bounces a red light back into itself. Also, I don't like how the shutter works, especially compared to the dedicated shutter of the Xperia 1 V, which more companies should adopt since the camera system is a heavily-focused part of their devices. And I don't know why no other phone than the Xperia 1 V has smaller focus points similar to that of a dedicated camera. Instead, you get this fat AF box that covers a large part of the sensor. Oh, and for being such a camera-focused phone, I wish they had PASM modes. I mean, with the main camera having a variable Aperture, why not? I at least really to be able to lock ISO to 200 in daylight, especially when it comes to these sensor sizes/qualities and the integration of Computational Imaging, which I absolutely hate.

The photography kit also allows you to fit 67mm filters

I bought this and it's camera s just wow...The only things I don't like is hyper os and the battery😢

Ulysses I miss you so much

😅but they didnt sell it officially in japan right

A phone has a camera but its still a phone because it can call and text. If a slr camera had the ability to phone and text, when does in become a phone. At what point does the Xiaomi become a camera that can call and text

Is it bad that despite the poor value and feature set compared to a compact 1", I still want this because it looks so good with the orange filter ring and camera grip mod? 😂 I'm kind of over retro camera designs, and this looks so sleek and modern.

My problem with phones and 1 inch sensors is the lens doesn't cover the whole sensor. I'm sure it has light capture advantages but not like they should. So it feels more like a gimmick. I like the images tho, you can see some of the leica color signature

It's like Xiaomi took Nokia's Lumia 1020 from back in the day and adapted it to modern design.

Hi, can it shoot 50MP RAW?

the camera grip is the best thing about this - i wish my iphone had this. I am not too bought in with the Leica look, but the camera grip makes it into a Ricoh GRIII killer for me

unfortunate no weatherproof in the grip....... ...... .....

ps the phone has ip 68 weatherproof but NOT the grip

Smartphones are compact cameras and replaced almost all of them except RX100 because of 200mm zoom. I like the larger screen compared to 3 inch of compact cameras.

Why Xiaomi feels the need to "pay" for a review?! This is an impressive product and I am sure you couldve sell it just as well.

Tell Sony to make a better one!👍

somehow i feel that "Leica" watermark and exposure setting on a white border, doesnt fit into real photographer. especially for a "real" Leica guy like you...

Or Sauna? 😂

Sadly overpriced as hell.... For a Xiaomi it's overpriced. Anyways nice phone

How can we remind Apple that the 1-inch sensor exists?

I hope you will return to making real videos soon

if only you were good at photography
