XPERIA X1 camera samples: photo and video

I’ve been snapping like crazy with the new XPERIA X1 to get you a large set of X1 camera samples. According to my computer, we’ve got a total of 36 camera samples for you as well as two videos in VGA resolution at 30 frames per second. Note that the videos will be decreased a bit in quality, and they’ll look a lot more jaggy than they really are, but we’ve provided download links below each video for those of you wanting the untouched version.

So, let us know what you think of the samples. I was really surprised by how good the camera in X1 actually is. The quality is rather high, and I haven’t experienced either annoying or serious white balance or colour problems. Sure, there are a few ones with a purple tint, but this is a seldom sight that’s hardly of any annoyance to me. Press the thumbnails for a slightly larger picture, and if you want the full size picture, you simply press the picture again.

    ey,
    i’ve got a question…
    which device makes pictures more faster then the others, is that SE Xperia, SE C905 or Samsung Innov8?
    i think it is the C905? but how fast does the Xperia makes pictures? and are the pictures of moving objects/people good?
    thanks in advance!..

    pink issue/ pink tint seriously visible. hope upcoming FW can correct this

  5. [...] Writer Michell should’ve also tried snapping shots in really poor conditions, like a smoke-filled bar. The daytime images are very decent, although some light graininess makes super clarity virtually impossible. In any case, take a look at the full collection here. [...]

    with a good photo and video quality…i’d say SE has a winner in X1

  9. [...] at The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog,  Michell has received his Xperia X1 and has been “snapping like crazy” with the X1. [...]

    Well, the pictures are really great and the device  has a big potencial as a snapper … but what makes me concerned is the quality of the video samples because after some analysis i found out that the sound encoding was the ancient AMR with mono 8000 kHz which is really a big letdown. i hope they fix this problem with the coming firmwares.

    How do you compare the videoRecording against say..    N95?
    Considering Megapixel has nothing to do with quality, Do you consider the X1 camera as best of Windows Mobile? Note that there’s also Samsung Omnia.  Say both pictures are scaled to 3MP.

  12. BoyBawang says:

    Opps i forgot to ask: how fast does the camera app start? and how long is the interval between shots?

  13. sony fab :P says:

    thanks for everything … I was really in a need for anything related to X1s camera …X1’s still images capability is actually way greater than I expected!! same for the videos! … this is more like a Cybershot combined with a Handycam lol … anyway thanks a million 4 the awesome article, now I’m getting my X1 without regrets XD … here I come 2009

    Thanks for uploading the sample videos, I’ve looked everywhere for footage.

    Couple of questions, are the videos at the native resolution? How much of the compression artefacts are due to the flash video?

    i hope they make an x1 with a 5mp camera soon. i can’t decide between the xperia and the c905. help!
