Brazilian artist puts the Sony Xperia X’s camera capabilities to the test

 

Sony has been proudly boasting of the camera capabilities of its new Xperia X series; sporting some of the best specs out in the market with its 23-megapixel Exmor RS sensor with Predictive Hybrid Autofocus. This autofocus system is said to be the fastest out in the market. Sony had Brazilian visual artist Rafael Mantesso put the device to the test with a photo shoot involving some adorable dogs in Barcelona. They had him take shots around Barcelona City using the Sony Xperia X and then adding his signature playful illustrations to them later.

We get to see how he’s properly able to put the different features to the test, especially being able to take clear shots of the hyperactive dogs even as they move around. He was able to produce images like feeding pigeons in the famed Sagrada Familia or dreaming about bones in a tavern. The new Sony Xperia X, Xperia X Performance, and Xperia XA are expected to come out this summer.
