Hi.
I'm very surprised that there are no sample videos recorded with Xperia available (30fps VGA video recordings). Exceptions are old video captures made with older firmware. Those are not great quality (compared to e.g. INNOV8).
Do somebody know where to find some video samples made with retail model of Xperia (or could someone made one in full quality so I can consider this capability ) ?
Thanx.
Note: The X1i (Euro version) of the phone is the only one that supports 30FPS VGA video. The USA version (X1a) supports 24fps QVGA recording, similar to past ericsson phones.
Also the X1i uses h.264 where as the X1a does not. Video recording quality on the international version will be about double the quality you will see on a US-Spec model.
Point being, if you are in the USA looking to get this phone you're not going to see the same quality from samples released now since the phone just started shipping the UK,Germany,Sweden etc.
Thanks for info.
I'm from EU. I've seen a few samples in VGA/30 fps from Xperia, but also these were not on par with INNOV8 (on the other side, I must admit INNOV8 has "shocking" quality of video recording). INNOV8 is not in the market yet (or it was released at the same time as Xperia) and there are a lot of video samples from users on the web (incl. you tube).
I would be satisfied if recording quality of X1 is moderately better than the sample I've seen a long time ago.

Here are older video samples recorded with Xperia for you...

(unfortunately, hard to judge because of YouTube compression)
...and here's an even newer one, this one is good because he checks different things.

video capture
Just a thought.
The video capture on the youtube videos seems ok but the quality of the sound doesn't seem much better than an am radio.
Maybe I won't ditch my n95 just yet...
here is one of newest samples...

should be original, no youtube resampled
IF THIS SAMPLE IS GENUINE, XPERIA DEFINITELY HAS MY RESPECT !!!

Hmmm, not bad at all. I had this horrible feeling it was going to suck as every HTC phone I have seen made it look like HTC were allergic to decent cameras. I had hoped that SE would insist on something better than your average HTC phone though.
forget movies @640x480, thats thumb cinema.
if you have a lot of light, the framerate will increase, but at fast movements, the picture will go very blocky (distorted and unshape). its absolutly not comparable to nokia n95.
it`s horrible, like all htc devices. i hoped that sony will insert a hardware codec and/or sony/zeiss lenses, in view of the good name of cybershot. BUT NOTHING OF THEM :-(((
but the cam it`s comparable to the diamond`s cam.
photos are ok and better than n95`s pictures!really!, if you remove the battery cover of the diamond. (diamond`s lens will have better view without battery cover`s plastic lens)
but the videofunktion is realised only by software codecs, like all htc wm 6.1 devices.
that stinks and suxx! lol
cheapcheating. i will give 10 bucks more, when htc will insert hardware video encoding of vga res or more with 30 fps *G
and i saw the x1 will save as 3gp, what about h264 vids? most 3gp has got only 15 fps
quality
Quality of video capture is not that bad at all.
Definitely way better than that of HTC Touch/PRO/HD.
its not better than diamonds capture quality. its equal
and the diamond can store the vids as mp4.
i can`t find on my x1 the function to select storing codec.
(an other vid cap application could fix thiz)
looks pretty good, but the youtube samples of the INNOV8 still look miles ahead...
but what the hell, its not meant to be a cam after all
i dont have to look @ youtube.
i filmed with my own x1. and at vga it suxxx.
when you move, its very blocky and you got a lot of lost frames.
tho years old n95 takes 30 frame vga videos under all conditions.
(low light/fast movement)
useless to talk about filming in low light conditions with x1 @640x480.
its slideshow style. and if u using low light option, 1-2 pictures will
taken, and what you see is only blur/swirl effect.
and the LED lamp .... :-((
For me, quality of these samples is more than sufficient...

Of course there are better mobiles for video capturing (innov, renoir, pixon,...). But in no way you can capture comparable video with Touch Pro or with (e.g.) C905.
the only video i can download is the second one.
the video is fluid, but in daylight filmed.
and take a closer look to the movie. while moving, its very blocky and very unclear.
(set player to pause,and slide with the timeline slider. view captures from randomly tryed timemarks. then you will see, what i mean.
but a lot of people cant see the artefacts in realtime. i am an advanced videoviewer/computerfreak, and it hurts me!!!in realtime viewing,too!)
temporarly a can`t take photos or video outside, because i`ve hurt
my legs and can`t stand longer then 2-3 seconds. :-(
but next few days, everything went`s okay, i will take some
demo mov/pix for you. and than remind my words.
and take a closer look the the used audiocodec.... 8khz mono.
and exactly this will it hear like.... :-((( on nokia phones it`s much better.
hopefully, we can wait for software updates, or registry hacks (samplingrate/other codec).
the sound recording quality in video mode is POOR!
but, this only a result of the samplingrate. with other audio recording tools
with samplingrate @44,1, the quality is very good.

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
Thank you for the review.
Can you clarify the video recording format for 2160p and 1080p resolution: h.264 or h.265?
Is available [email protected] as recording format?
Thank you again.
Best regards,
cdr
This is the reason why i bought mi max. Awesome review!
is camera better than redmi note 3 pro?
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Huawei Mate 10 come out.

1080p 60fps looks really bad, not sure why.
1080p 30fps looks better, but sometimes there is blurriness.
There's focus hunting in 60fps but if you set to AF-S it's ok. Better to use 30fps for extra stabilization though.
Unfortunately video is bad if not awful...
Just my opinion after two weeks of testing it.
It's the first time that i am so disappointed from a flagship.
Just received two days back update for my mate 10. Just by luck I recorded a 1080p 60fps video and I noticed that the clarity of video and sharpness has improved dramatically. You can proof this if you record a similar length video at 30fps. The size of 60fps video is double of that for 30pfs meaning that the frame rate has doubled.
The best video I've ever shot with a phone, including Pixel 2 and Galaxy S8. That is IF you got a tripod, or stable hand, if you don't then it's bad.
The 4K video I shot using my hands was perfect, looked like a DSLR video or some ****, noise was non existent and the processing was amazing for a smartphone. I filmed a ballet performance, with changing stage lights and fast movement, also it was pretty much pitch black in the concert room except the stage which was lit. My friend used his Pixel 2 to shoot 4K at the same time, and his looks like **** compared, too much noise and it just looks bad.. the Pixel 2 video looks like it came from a smartphone straight up, the Mate 10 4K looks like it came from a $700 mirrorless or something.
I have to say again, this was video shot while SITTING at a ballet performance, in this situation where you don't have to walk around, Mate 10 has the best video out of any phone I've seen. If you have to walk and move around a lot, then a very good stabilizer 4K is the best video phone, S9+ or OnePlus 6 come to mind..
Just a quick one.
What do you think about the video settings for Mate 10 Pro. I have the phone almost a year now but right after I bought it in around few weeks I disabled the video stabilization which is EIS and of course it has OIS built in. I mostly shoot 1080p videos do you think it is a good idea to keep the EIS on as well or just to have it with OIS. What I do not like is the image is somewhat blurred and distorted when panning and when not enough light due to the EIS. But still would like to hear your opinion. Thank you!
You may wanna watch the video link below shot entirely using Mate 10 & Gimbal.

What do you mean "since" EMUI 9? The mate 10 shipped with EMUI 8 and has for the most part has not even been upgraded to EMUI 9 except for beta versions. As with any major upgrades there will probably be some bugs with EMUI 9 (and probably with the camera) that hopefully will be fixed before the general release of EMUI 9
Hello,
Does EMUI9 includes stabilizing in both 1080p and 4K since I no longer see the option to disable or enable it?
Thank you!

If you are not familiar with the upgrade and how to perform it , then you not should type! The official release is already provided and for those who waits for it can upgrade via Firmware Finder as I did fully official build 9.0.0.161
Everything works as before.
720p HD 30 fps > OIS + EIS
1080p FHD 30 fps > OIS + EIS
1080p FHD 60 fps > OIS
4K UHD 30 fps > OIS
Thanks! I will continue to shoot in 4K anyway. Best quality as the 1080p looks more of a 720p upscale.
The only problem with 4K is 10 minutes limit but I agree with the quality, it's good even in indoor use.

I have never seen better video recordings than on the Mi 10 so far. 4K @60 fps is gorgeous in terms of sharpness, colors & artifact handling.
The video bitrate @4K is at 38 Mbps.
At 8K it has insane 104 Mbps.
The stabilisation is also remarkable.
I wonder what the Samsung S20 devices are capable of?

Question to Mi 10 owners - how would you rate 4k60fps quality?
In some samples on youtube, I saw that 4k60 isn't fluid and drops some frames. The same it was on mi 8, but using gcam 4k60fps works quite well - much better than native cam app. Would be interesting to hear if somebody uses Filmic Pro / Mcpro24fps on Mi 10 to comment if there's some video quality increase and stability using 3rd party apps?

Video quality is actually one of the best I have ever seen on an android phone (iPhone is the king of video in my opinion) at least on the main sensor (the wide angle is very, very dark and it can't do 4k60 on native camera, only 4k30 or 1080p60) . I'm on Miui.eu beta and, at least for me, 4K60 is very fluid. But is important to say we don't have electronic image stabilization at 60fps (at any resolution) so the video is gonna be a little shaky using only optical stabilization.
Filmic pro is incapable of using the wide angle or the macro lenses, only the main one (mi9 can use all of them with the last updates of Filmic Pro), but it can do 4k60 and 1080p120. You can enable OIS, EIS or even EIS+OIS on Filmic, but EIS seems to be doing nothing actually even if you enable it. Apparently it does not works yet. I appreciate the manual controls Filmic gives you, but since Mi10 already have a manual mode for video and other advanced options like a very good LOG mode, the only real benefit of using filmic is the higher bitrate, except if you want really manual precise controls.
Feel free to ask any other question. Hope I helped.

Thanks xLeonix,
Glad for your answer!
Interesting to know about the sensors availability on Filmic Pro. For Mi Note 10, I send request to devs through the app: information -> version x.xx.x (click) -> and press contact us (after that you will be guided to email, the app will generate metadata.json file and please write to FilmicPro devs to look up for possibility of enabling additional sensors. Thanks to Filmic Pro team they helped me and with latest update gave additional (ultrawide/tele) sensors option to use with Filmic Pro. Hope this would be with Mi 10's ultrawide camera too!
For 1080p/60 and 4K60, have you tried to enable electronic stabilisation through GCAM app (urnyx and burial mods)? On my wife's Mi 8 4K60 works stabilised with OIS/EIS via gcam. EIS works interestingly, but if there's not much camera movement, I would say the quality is fine. Also can use much higher bitrate without loss of quality (native camera's app bitrate is equal for 30/60fps).
Also would be interesting to see a comment from a person, who also tried the mcpro24fps on Mi 10 - does it let to use ultrawide camera, and availability of 4K60.

Answering your questions, yeah, I have tried a couple Gcam mods for photo and video (specially for night sight on front facing and ultra wide lenses, since Mi10 doesn't let you use might mode on front facing camera. It didn't let you use it on ultra wide neither, but xiaomi added night mode on ultra wide with an update).
At the moment, I have installed Urnyx and Nikita gcam mods. Urnyx surprisingly let me record 4K60 on the ultra wide (can't do that on native camera) but with no stabilization of any kind. And it freezes if I try to enable 60fps on the main sensor. Nikita let me actually use the main sensor at 4K 60 with EIS but it isn't even half as good as the native one, It's only a little better than using OIS only. Nikita by the way freezes when I try to use ultra wide sensor.
About mcpro24fps, there's not much to say. It can do 4k 30 on the main camera with OIS, EIS or both OIS+EIS. It can do 1080p120fps too, but for some reason it won't let me do 4K60 in any way on main camera. Mcpro24fps can use wide angle and macro lenses without any problem, but it can't do 4K60 on ultra wide, only 4k30 . Surprisingly mcpro24fps let me set the ultra wide sensor to 120fps at 720p, but it is really noisy (unusable) and the field of view seems to be cropped so it almost match the main sensor. So there's no use for it. It can also do 720p 120fps on the front camera. That's all I can say about mcpro24fps based on my testing.
If you have any other question, feel free to ask. Hope I helped!

That was really helpful, thanks xLeonix. Quite surprised to see you use all the video recording apps as well!

By the way, they just added support for the Macro and Ultra wide lenses on Filmic Pro's lastest update.

I've had the Poco X3 for about 1 week now.
Let's talk a bit about the video quality!
Your "1x" lens/setting will be the best overall video quality. The 0.6x (wide) also works fairly well, but even at the same resolution and frame rate, it is noticeably worse.
720p 30 fps: skip
1080p 30 fps: There seems to be some stuttering here and there. Auto focus works quite well and responds fairly quickly.
1080p 60 fps: Surprisingly good! It looks very smooth especially with the stabilization on (gimbal like). The auto focus doesn't respond well. Sometimes works, sometimes needs manual tapping. I don't know what's wrong with it.
4k 30 fps: Similar to 1080p but also some shakiness perhaps due to frame rate. Auto focus is available and works decently.
There are some other features such as fast object tracking, macro, steady cam. Those are nothing to write home about, but are there.
I upgraded to Poco X3 from a Redmi 6, so it was a pretty huge upgrade. Having never used more expensive phones, I'm pretty satisfied with the camera. Though, the other sensors like macro and wide are pretty much a joke compared to the primary sensor, I don't think I'll find much use of them.
With videos at 1080p and 60fps, there's definitely an auto focus problem, but hopefully some software updates would fix it and improve the overall quality.
On 12.0.3 EU Rom the Slow-Motion Videoo woth stock-camera doesn't work. In 720p mode there is no slow-motion when playing the video, in 1080p there is big stuttering. On previous 12.0.2 slow-motion worked fine.

Still works for me without any issues on 12.0.3.
First seconds are normal speed, but after a sec low and behold slomo
I have found my mistake. I had uninstalled VI video. Because of this, e.g. Google Photos could not play slow motion. Now I have installed VI video again. Slowmotion is running again.
the auto focus on X3 is wayyyyyy too aggressive.. it keeps auto focusing every 5s.. its very very irritating..
Don't really have much to say other than that I'm very happy with the electronic image stabilization on this device. It's actually pretty great especially considering it's not OIS. Most midrangers have pretty awful image stabilization, but this phone handles it quite well. I'm also fairly pleased to have 4K video & 1080p 60fps; in 2020 those should be pretty standard at this point, but you don't always see those options on budget phones. Beyond that I haven't really messed with the video or the front-facing camera to really find any major negatives.
Between the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC and the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro which has the best final camera, the measurements show the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. But in the many times I have seen on the internet sometimes it looks like the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC is good and other times the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro. What is the truth after all?
