Hands On With the Sony Xperia Ion’s ‘Fast Capture’ Camera [VIDEO]

Posted by immunk pare on 01.13

LAS VEGAS — Sony debuted a smartphone at CES 2012 that counts as a first in many ways. The Xperia ion is the first 4G LTE smartphone from Sony, it’ll be the first phone marketed under the Sony brand (instead of Sony Ericsson) and, if Sony marketing is to be believed, it’s the first phone to have virtually no lag between shots.

We checked out the phone at Sony’s booth here at CES to see just how fast the camera on the Xperia ion is. What we found is shown in the video. Take a minute to check it out if you haven’t already.

Our conclusion: Sony’s not being disingenuous when it claims there’s very little lag between shots, though that first shot may still take a second or so to actually snap once you touch the screen. Since often that first shot is the only one that counts, we think there’s still room for improvement.

Since cell phones are fast becoming most people’s go-to camera for everyday shooting, the quality of the camera matters a lot when considering a new phone. On that score, you could do a lot worse than the Xperia ion’s fast 12-megapixel shooter, though we had trouble discerning any difference in speed between it and the iPhone 4S we were carrying. You be the judge.
