Finally some brand approached a photographer for their "camera oriented phones". Im so fed up of brands letting their camera phones being reviewed by tech reviewers who takes photos indoors or just bland photos in broad daylight. All photos look shit. I have been personally texting brands to send their phones to legit photographers. Noice video Mike ❤

What a coincidence, I was in Brick Lane with my 14 Ultra on Tues. I went to the Lego Exhibition. it was dimly lit in the gallery, but I got some great shots! I'm using the Photography kit with mine, got some compliments on my camera/phone from a few people too!

I never liked using pro modes but on the xiaomi 14 ultra the quality is INSANE. Ultra RAW and all those presets (luts) makes it even for me very nice to use. Really good job from xiaomi.

Congrats on hitting 100K Subs. I always find your videos relaxing and informative as well as inspiring at the same time. Keep doing what you doing. God bless from down under Perth WA.

Thing I love to hear

Hello thanks for your review, I should be getting mine soon... I'm curious, was your coffee shot at 5:49 on pro mode or auto? I wonder why it was shot at 1/8000s with a high ISO of 2070.... did it choose to do that automatically? or was it you... and if it was you, would you kindly explain your choice? I mean I would have gone for the lowest possible ISO and shoot at 1/400s or even 1/200s ... to get as little graininess as possible... unless you were looking for grain... ?

I would add that with the photography kit, you get an adaptater ring which allows you to put your filters, hoods and covers (67mm). With that it really looks like a camera.

Loved the video Mike. Is this going to replace my Ricoh GR2 🤔

Being used to my own M11 I get a bit frustrated when I'm out on runs and then take my camera out to take a picture of something and the image quality is pretty meh, oversharpened/oversaturated, etc. I really wish apple would allow you to add custom profiles and take off the sharpening and stuff, I'm stuck in their ecosystem ahah

The review was great but my main takeaway from the video was the "sketching" I was out sitting earlier this week and did some sketches with my phone just sort of naturally. Things I wanted to photograph but didn't feel the need to get the camera out for.

Hey Mike. What a cool camera / phone, especially the Pro options for setting shutter speed etc. Frustrating that Apple don't have this feature, If I wasn't fully committed to the Apple ecosystem, I would give this some serious consideration. Chuffed about my little cameo appearance when we bumped into each other, that day. 🤜🏽

i think the super steady is up to 1080p not 4k i'm so confused and when you shoot a video you cant change the zoom when it is recording right?

Great work mate.. subbed immediately

Really loved the way the review was done from a photographer point of view. I got myself a Xiaomi 14 because i couldn't afford to get this Ultra model. If you could do a same review or just comment on Xiaomi 14 model, your opinions, it would be great. Thanks again.👍

Currently using an S21 Ultra for photography which is still an amazing camera, but i think my next upgrade has to be the 14 ultra. Getting a DSLR or a Mirrorless has never interested me as most photographs i take, are in/from places where proper cameras arent allowed. Also most of the time i dont feel like carrying around a 2nd device and needing to keep both charged. The point and shoot nature of the Xiaomi and the quality make a worthy substitute in most cases. Some of the shots in this video are incredible and you'd assume weren't taken on a phone.

Now I'm becoming more torn perhaps to get something like this rather than a RX100 VII... Looking for something with good to semi-pro quality at 5x ish zoom range and also capable in low light for potentially some concert photography

Great video Mike. Have you seen Jesse Marlowe’s series of poster photos? The posters are his own street shots. In other words he was taking photos of his own photos. I know someone who is an ambassador for this phone company. One of the great advantages is that you are much less visible than with a conventional camera.

@MikeChudley

@AsB_AfC Unfortunately it is seen in many made in India manufacturing i.e in Bengaluru city which is very humid and I am of the belief that there was some leakage in one manufacturing slot particularly in Jan manufacturing. I am from India, I too was worried but they supplied us with Made in China models which were made in March and got suddenly very hot on first boot which I believe was particularly for this very issue. I suggest you put your phone under a box full of silica gel balls while leaving camera open in recording 4k 120 or 8k for good 12-24 hours in a hot space which will warm up the phone while leaving your sim tray detached ( only way to crack IP68 seal ). All the Best. P. S - If this does not work, replace it.

Is that a bellroy venture sling ? Which size do you feel is the best for a day out shooting between 6L and 9L ? Thanks ☺️

@MikeChudley

26 күн бұрын

Yeah it is :) I use the 9l so I can carry my video setup as well (R6+lens) but if you don't need 2nd body then the 6L seems like a great option.

The photos and videos look good! The removable grip will come in handy when in need of a firmer grip (pun intended) 😜

You MUST try the sony xpiria 1 mark 5 (or 6 when it comes out)

thankyou for the pixelpeeping.

My son got a Xiaomi. It was a great device but given they are rare in the UK, when something cracked in it, there was no way to get it fixed. It would be great if the camera companies created pro camera apps for phones

What is ur opinion about it?

Just an FYI that this phone only does optical zoom at 3.2x and 5x. Anything in between, below or higher is completely digital and also won't be able to produce RAW files. As far as I know both telephotos now have much closer focusing distances than before so I think you might be able to get away with using the 3.2x instead of the 2x digital unless you prefer having the variable aperture+big sensor of the main camera that the telephotos don't have

Do the same with the Vivo x100pro

Both X100 Pro and 14 Ultra are insanely good. Pictures taken lacking the typical “smartphone” camera look that is bombarded with excessive post processing and just let the impressive Sony TYL sensor do its job.

14 ultra have ultraraw mode, open a new world

It's like my Samsung Galaxy Camera with latest tech or improved version.

try vivo x100 pro.

Honestly, for the money I want this to make sense, but it just doesn't. It's a 1" with less features than a ZV1 or G7X compact, such as flip screen to see yourself when you use the best lens, optical zoom, built in ND, LUT/Preset support, optical stabilisation, decentralised battery so if my phone is dead my camera isn't and vice versa. Honestly just better value for similar money if not a bit a cheaper. It's even more expensive than my Ricoh GRIII and aps-c compact. Granted, I can't watch KZread on those cameras though. I'd still recommend something like a ZV1F for beginners just wanting to have a play and get a bit better quality than their phone for about 1/3 of the cost of this fella. Plus Sony won't give the ZV1 firmware updates to kill the battery life and performance in 10 months time as they ramp up marketing for the Ultra 15 for another $1.2k. 😂 Spend more on a camera than a phone. $200 phone will do everything most people need with no significant hardware struggle compared to flagships.

Foo-Oooh graphy with Android 📈

Does anyone's 14 ultra keep muting itself? 👍

Pura 70 ultra is more elegant

If this was not a Chinese phone I would have bought it but now going with Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra.

In many cases, gcam is actually worse on a lot of phones. Over the years using a MI11 Pro, I have tried many gcam versions and profile settings and none came close to the all-round usability of the MI camera app, particularly for speed of use, non-primary sensors and video.

Absolute rubbish of a phone, don't bother guys. These comments and most videos (Not necessarily this one) are sponsored. Took it out today with 100% battery level. Went for bite across my house. Then went to take about 50 pictures. Nothing fancy, no video, nothing. Went back home. Battery level was 45%. I was out for 2h. We did not use the phone other than taking those 50 pictures. Phone is hot regularly, even with light use, such as web browsing. Focus is not great at all. Default pictures with HDR enabled are quiet low quality. Also it has a Game icon on the default screen. You can not remove it. You can not disable it. I don't play games. I don't need this. Has plenty of bloatwares too. I am sending it back for a full refund.

Good phone with bad battery life

This video addresses nothing about the sensor, optics or any features other than basic stuff and colors. Doesnt compare it to other camera centric phones either.
