Google Pixel 2 Camera Shots! Show Us Your Pictures

While not the safest here's one of the lake on my way home from work. Taken while driving 40 mph. Not bad for moving I thought.

Most comfy kicks ever, LeBron 15 Ashes.

Portrait mode works awesome for shots like this.

We all talk about how we like the pictures this phone takes. It even does better than my prior phone depositing checks though make Bank app.
 
I feel like an ***** so want to know if I'm alone... I had Samsung phones before my pixel 2 and I just don't see how this camera or interface is better. I take a couple of pictures from a concert at a small venue. From the back I will zoom in. I'm steady and my pix on the pixel just look crappy. And if I zoom in on the already zoomed pic it looks worse. Whereas w my Samsung it looked great. Do I need to adjust settings? I just don't see the better bits of the camera. Except for maybe portrait mode. Am I alone here?


Shrano, Which Samsung phone(s) did you have? Did they have a two lens system?

Optical zoom is true zoom, using actual magnifying glass lenses to accomplish it. Digital zoom is simply enlarging a photos digitally so that the extra pixels are extrapolated from the existing picture -- basically, the computer makes them up. Digital zoom can be useful in a limited way in certain situations, but there will always be a degradation of detail.

If your Samsung did not have two lenses, then they are just using an algorithm that you like better to invent the missing pixels.

A really good explanation. Thanks...
 
This is my second picture taken on my Pixel 2 (she was too squirmy in the first one)! My cat always knows when I'm trying to get a picture of her; so she keeps on moving! But even with her moving a lot, I think the image quality here is really good. I'm very impressed!
