    Google Pixel 2 Camera Shots! Show Us Your Pictures

    I'm chasing a "look" that I want for all my photos, and I just wanted to share some before and after shots. Right now I am aiming for a more filmic look, with slightly cooler shadows and warmer highlights while getting in some contrast in. The photos coming out from the Pixel 2 really has a...

    Pixel 2 camera: massive disappointment

    I'll be honest, I am looking for reasons... Reasons why the camera would always take bad photos as the OP stated. It's either the camera hardware has a problem, bad shots due to user error or the camera's imaging characteristics isn't what the OP wants. I'm looking for which of the above would...

    Also a funny moment... I was out trying to get some low angle shots of stuff on the street for my Photo of the Day. I was setting up to grab a photo of a man sleeping in a waiting shed when this walked into frame:

    Pixel 2 camera: massive disappointment

    Even high end pro cameras can get white balance wrong from time to time.in my experience it's actually harder to get proper White balance in warm (tungsten) lighting. Where was your focus point in this photo?

    Reminds me of that old puzzle game where you had to find specific items in a room. Really like that shot. :D

    Moving on from Nexus 6p

    Former 6P owner as well. I got hit with the well-known battery issues so I traded my 6P in for a smaller Pixel 2. The downsizing turned out to be a major upgrade for me. Ergonomically, the Pixel 2 is close to the perfect size. The screen is smaller of course, but after a while, you learn to...

    A short review of the Zagg Invisible Shield Glass+ for the Pixel 2 (non-XL)

    After around just 2 months, the oleophobic coating on this protector seems to have gone off in patches. I am getting smudges mostly at the center of the screen. It still wipes off, but I thought I'd update this thread with that.

    Phone purchased from Amazon wasn't properly reset, is that fraud?

    That's a SIM lock though, it's stored on the SIM and not on the phone. So you can just swap out SIMs and you won't have to enter that number again. It's mostly a safeguard that would prevent other people from using your SIM card on another device. I use that already after learning a valuable...

    Phone purchased from Amazon wasn't properly reset, is that fraud?

    Is this still a Pixel 2 feature? I used this feature on my 6P but cannot find a way to enable PIN before boot on the P2.

    Pixel 2 XL video quality at 1080p 60fps is shocking

    Have you tried a different app to record? The stock camera app has a pretty low bitrate.
