My Xperia 1 III used to be quite disappointing at times (was too focused on RAW output for editing, even stacked HDR shot RAWs) but the 1 V is legit good and I can tell the new sensor stacking improved light capture (less noise in low light) and auto mode is much better, while I still see limitations both in auto and manual it’s not so bad. The most annoying parts have to do with focus and color balance when zooming in certain light conditions, and contrast in complex scenes in auto mode.
Well, there is no good reason for me to replace my 1 III yet, and probably for the next few years. So i might still look into sony, but it’s really hard to justify the price when there are huge compromises, even though I love a lot about xperias.
the purely analogue that just connects some of the USB pins to the jack
the digital that contain a DAC
Not all phones have the internal wiring from their internal DAC to the USB port to make the analogue type of adapter work, so watch out what you buy, if you follow SomeGuy69’s advice.
Get an USB-c to aux adapter for phones without aux connector.
Or get a phone who still has the port from a company like Sony or Asus or whatever
I love my Sony but the camera is so dogshit that I couldn’t recommend it to anyone 😢

The usb-c would have popped right out and let your phone be smashed into smithereens.
those will start getting loose. at one point if i even thought about slightly grazing the adapter it would lose connection

I didn’t even know that. Thanks for the info. But I guess an adapter is cheap. A phone on the other hand not.
