Really good.

These photos don't really mean anything. We need more everyday user photos.

Most are very well lit shots. Very few action shots, except for some on the water, but those are brightly lit so there is good detail, no blur. Very few low light shots that would challenge the camera. In short, not much to learn about the camera by looking at these shots.

You guys on these device forums crack me up. As a professional photographer, these photos are outstanding. Moreover, I don't use my phone for critical assignments, but the fact that phone cameras have come so far is beyond impressive. I'll always use my DSLR with good glass any day, but in looking at these shots, they are amazing.

I'd recommend this phone to anyone and personally speaking, I don't want to see pics of cats or kitchen sinks, etc that you typically see from average users. I want to see what the camera/phone is capable of and these clearly show the camera capacity.

I guess it will be better wait until we see daily photos which shot by "normal" user, only we will know how good is the camera.

Really (currently) it's the best mobile camera in the world

I'm only amazed with the lo light photos, the others are normal nowadays quality cell phone camera photos and doesn't surprise me.

To me, it shows what you can do after editing. I want unedited photos from an every day joe since I am not a pro photographer and won't be spending time with manual settings or photo editing.

An average person that doesn't know about photography can screw up taking pictures with even the best camera out there.

Yep.

From the article:

Also note that the Pixel camera had a little help. It appears at least half of these photos were processed with Snapseed and VSCO.

Yeah, but on the flipside, a pro photographer can take photos that make a camera look better than it actually is. I've seen it plenty of times before.

I'd argue that they can only show what a camera is fully capable of if that is what you mean by better.

If you mean using it in situations like less than ideal lighting to see how it performs then yes more shots in those situations to gauge low performance are welcomed.

Unless you are printing your photos, your comments have little merit. They will look different on everyone's phone or computer unless you have them all calibrated the same.

Even if these photos were edited, you need a quality source image for you to extract a better outcome...The old adage of garbage in, garbage out applies. Putting lipstick on a pig is only marginally effective...This isn't lipstick or a pig.

I can't wait for this phone and camera. After being an Android faithful and suffering with terrible cameras for years i can't wait for Android to finally have a competitive camera!

My comments are accurate. Yours seem to have nothing to do with anything.

The photos shown by pro photographers are no better than other photos shot by pro photographers. You can find photos that look just as good taken by smartphones from 4 years ago or so because they can correct for the limitations of the devices they're using.

As an amateur photographer, I agree.

Idk man, I agree with bold9930 on this. He has a point about having a quality source, you can't just edit a bad shot and make it great.

It's like having an argument with my 5 y/o nephew.
