Yes, this is the ultimate shooting experience that Sony is aiming for. It would be like this if we had the power and functions to make it happen! It is a figure that embodies the vision.
Although it is a smartphone in terms of genre, it has an HDMI input and becomes a single-lens external monitor that supports 4K HDR.
A new lineup has appeared in the PRO series. For PRO Xperia "Xperia PRO-I" has been announced. This time it's even better. Especially the camera is dangerous.
I optimized the sensor of "RX100 VII" and put it in my smartphone.
The eye-catching huge main camera has a wide angle of 24 mm. It also has an ultra-wide-angle 16mm and 50mm telephoto lens and a 3D iTOF sensor. The zoom performance is not comparable to a point-and-shoot camera, but it is a configuration that covers a wide range of everyday life with the good handling of smartphones.
However, the focus is still on the main camera. This is a 1.0-inch image sensor.
The image sensor of Xperia PRO-I is "Rxmor RS" which is an optimized image sensor of "RX100 VII". I didn't want to think that the sensor of "RX100 VII" would be thrown in, so why not overdo it? There is a feeling ...
However, by increasing the size of the sensor and pixel pitch, the dynamic range is expanded, the blurring feeling is even better, and high image quality can be expected in every scene.
As usual, the α series technology is imported, so the AF coverage of the imaging area is about 90%, and AF such as real-time pupil AF, real-time tracking, and high-speed shooting with AF / AE tracking at 20 frames per second is amazing.
Regarding videos, it is said that it is the first Xperia to support pupil AF / object tracking.
Like the Xperia 1 III, it also supports 4K 120fps high frame rate shooting. Flawless Eye compatible hybrid image stabilization, which uses a unique algorithm to enhance optical image stabilization, is also powerful. In addition to the top and bottom microphones, the in-camera side is equipped with a monaural microphone, making it easier to put your own voice on it, and other improvements have been made for Vlog.
Considering that you can edit and output still images and videos on the spot, it is the strongest camera for walking around town. If you don't mind the telephoto power, you don't have to carry the camera with you.
Full armor with Vlog monitor
In order to keep such a daily life, we have further enhanced accessories for Vlogger.
Here is the full armor "Xperia Pro-I" equipped with a 3.5-inch monitor "Vlog Monitor" for Vlog, equipped with a shooting grip and an external microphone to further enhance the feeling of equipment.
The previous model can be delivered by connecting with a single lens via HDMI! I was thinking, but this time I haven't waited for the acceleration of the high image quality and easy feeling of live distribution that can be the strongest with this alone. Since communication is also compatible with 5G, is this probably the most compact and high-quality 4K video distribution solution at the moment?
SoC and battery specifications improved
The focus on the camera was so great that it was postponed, but it's a spec.
The display is a 6.5 inch 21: 9 4K 120Hz HDR organic EL display. The SoC is Snapdragon 888 5G with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Whereas the first "Xperia PRO" was an Xperia 1 II generation terminal, this one seems to have been upgraded to the Xperia 1 III generation. In addition, the battery has increased slightly to 4,500mAh, and it supports quick charging that can recover up to 50% in 30 minutes.
It seems that the status is being pushed to the limit for the video experience, but it is also strong that it covers the functions of the smartphone that is usually used, such as being properly compatible with Osaifu-Keitai.
I think there are only a handful of people who need this device, but Sony is doing its best for that handful. I love you! I wonder how much the price will be ... I'm a little scared.
Postscript [2021/10/26] The price is 198,000 yen (tax included)! If you think it's the Xperia 1 III + RX100 series, it's cheap ...?
