Top 5 Reasons Why The Sony Xperia PRO-I Is Still Great To Buy Or Keep In 2024!

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! I am frequently asked if the Sony Xperia PRO-I is still a good device to buy even two years after its release in December 2021. Or maybe you're someone curious about why Sony enthusiasts are passionate about this smartphone, ummm, I mean camera. In this video I give you my 5 top reasons why it's still a great device to purchase (or keep if you’re thinking about switching) in 2024! And if you're not interested in buying it, maybe it will help you understand why someone like me has stuck with their smartphones since the Xperia Z1!

These top 5 reasons are the ones that have stood out for me frequently the most from the past 16 months of using the Xperia PRO-I on a daily basis. So tap that play button and let’s find out what they are!

All the pictures and videos from the Sony Xperia PRO-I and ZV1 are taken handheld with optical stabilization on (except for the scenes in my "micro-studio" which are on a tripod). The majority of them have not been edited and are what comes out of both cameras. Only for the DNG to JPEG files, I ran them through Lightroom Classic and only used auto mode.

Note: This isn't the final video I wanted to upload and only a rough cut. When I was doing final edits in DaVinci Resolve, it suddenly froze up and I had to restart it. When I went to open this video file, it had been deleted! Do you remember all of the hype over DaVinci Resolve earlier this year and how it was the ultimate video editor? Well, it also has many issues which aren't discussed on You Tube. However, I'm only using the free version and don't know if the Studio version has many bugs and other issues.
