Heyyyy.. I'm kind a photographer type of a person. And all my phones just NEED to have a good camera. Not to mention that they need to give the best phone experience as well. Having said that I've used all the iPhones till the 5S, Note 3, HTC one M8, Xperia z2 and the z3. And here's a comparison of my current Droid Turbo with all of them.
In conclusion, Turbo takes pictures of the same quality as the xperia takes and the note 3 takes. IPhone, note 4 and the s5 and s6 are more consistent and faster. Yes. There's no denying that. But the difference is only marginal (in daylight only).
So overall I think the Moto Droid Turbo is a winner. I've managed to take some really detailed shots which I will be happy to share if you want. Those include pictures of a moving car moving people and basic architectural compositions. Just as good as the Xperia series, the samsungsand the iPhone (in daylight minus the shutter lag which only hinders sometimes). Lowlight shots are just bad. Especially with moving subjects. For that the Samsungs and the apples are way better.
So what you're really giving up on is only 'a few' of the action shots in daylight. And lowlight photography. And I'd suggest taking burst shots in the night. One of them might come out right. That's what I do.
No phone is perfect.
They tried to go all in with the features in this phone and for me they succeeded in every department except the camera. And I'd still rate the camera 8/10.
I understand the frustration. I do. But none of the phones I've had before did any better. I'm so sorry to say this but indoor shots have always been tricky. Even with my iPhone.

Yay! This has been my stance all along. The Turbo has a very good camera, almost as good as the iPhone, Note, and S5. Like all phones it's going to have trouble with low light shots and extreme action shots. Still, good shots under these conditions can be had. Learn the foibles of the phone.
Based on your later post, I assume this was posted as proof of the ability to take good indoor motion pics? I Liked it at first because I thought you were suporting the low light issues problem with it.
The camera is fine , if you hate it it is your opinion , I personally do not have any problems. Also I have stated several times if you record video at 1080p or 4k and tap the screen the shutter speed is much quicker and the moving images come out great, try that then when your done delete the video and keep the pictures you want.

No, power droid has been following me post to post, and it was only a matter of time before he showed up...again...to prove me wrong and himself right.
I've barely been reading this forum in the past weeks, and have only made a few posts. Just go back to the beginning of this thread and read. I'm not out to prove you wrong and me right, I was trying to help.
Oh well. I must have gotten the one and only magically blessed Turbo camera that can take decent motion shots (most of the time).
Both jamielov and I came from a Droid Maxx to the Turbo. We both got better pictures in the same low light situations, in the same places, with the Maxx. Please explain what foibles the Turbo has that the Maxx didn't.

I think it's a fabulous shot. Look at the picture.
1. I have the digital zoom turned all the way up. That's a recipe for disaster for objects in motion photos. My focus point is the basket.
2. I captured the ball swishing through the basket. This despite the shutter lag which many, including me, complain about.
3. Look at the basketball netting. That is being violently and quickly jerked into motion yet it is in pretty good focus.
4. The ball is somewhat blurry. That's because of the extreme zoom, the fact that I tapped to focus on the basketball rim, and the ball has severe backspin on it.
That basketball shot isn't "decent" by my defintiion. If that's OK for you, then I guess that's a part of the disconnect in this discussion. That's a terrible shot in what looks like a decently lit gym.

Lol she picked them out for that exact reason. I hope it was not some kind of crack at me and my daughter ...
