Nexus 6P - Camera Discussion

[techaddict2]

I'll beleive it when I start seeing reviewer comparison shots. Till then its all marketing hype to me. Been disappointed too many times I guess.

DxOMark is definitely one of the most trusted reviewers in the whole photography world.

Does anyone know what the actual photo orientation will be for Nexus 6p? 16:9 or 4:3?

DxOMark Mobile report: Google Nexus 6P: Connect

Didn't like this part -> On the downside, the stabilization causes a strong jello effect, the camera tends to refocus when illumination changes and focus can be lost when tracking. The testers also found that "fine detail is lost in low light conditions and color shading is visible in low light and indoor conditions".

The Nexus 6 has that annoying jumping auto focus in videos, I hope this isn't true with the 6P too!

I'm hoping the software update mentioned above will fix some of these issues. But I haven't received my phone yet, lol.

Why hasn't DxOMark reviewed the iPhone 6s' camera? I'd really like to compare it with 6P.

Because DxOMark don't buy devices, they just wait for OEM to sent them one and somtimes they wait à lot (exemple : Note 4)

For anyone who hasn't seen, a Google employee has posted a few shots taken with a 6P on her instagram.
I don't have enough posts to post links, but her IG name is theycallmeviv & she's using the #Nexus6P tag.

The few shots she has up look outstanding!

I think the AT&T Park photo looks incredible. Vibrant greens and blues abound!

I'll admit that some of what I wrote was not very clear but you are also ignoring what else I said.

People have been saying that the larger pixels will completely negate the advantages of competitors which use OIS. (ie - P6 pixel size of 1.55 vs S6 size of 1.12, and the sensor size increase as well)
That is just not the case and not likely to make up for the 2-3 f-stop advantage of an S6/G4 utilizing OIS.

Dx to Fx camera is a MUCH larger increase in sensor size, and you're still only gaining 1-2 f-stops of advantage, as far as noise is concerned.

Hey Shepx13 I think you're missing the point. Without getting too in-depth larger pixels = more light; more light = less times the shutter needs to be open; which equals less chance of blur caused by camera movement and subject movement. OIS is useless if you're subject is moving.
Yes OIS is nice but in most case having a sensor larger pixels is going to better then having OIS. But it really depends on your subject. If you're taking low lights pics of a person you'll want larger pixels, taking pics of an apple on a table you'll want OIS.

No, I totally get it. But if you're taking a portrait of someone (most reasonable people don't expect phones to take acceptable indoor photos of moving people), ois and a slightly smaller sensor will most likely be better than a slightly larger sensor (with less pixels = larger pixel pitch), because of the stops gained.

My pocket camera is a Nikon Coolpix A (DX sized sensor, same as D7000), and I have that because I use it at events regularly where people may be moving. If I had time for traveling more, I would probably have gotten Sony Rx100 instead (smaller 1" sensor), for the OIS.

As I've said elsewhere, I think Google finally has a solid Nexus camera, but think people should temper their expectations slightly (based on responses of some people going bonkers over it).

But that's the point OIS + people moving is a BAD things. If anything you want as much light as possible as quickly as possible. But never the less I'm excited about this Nexus. I wish I could have stuck with the LG G4 but worse "version" of android I've used in the last 4 years.

Yea, the camera on the G4 is amazing. But their quick settings are appalling, and too many people reporting touchscreen issues for me to mess with it.

It's down to the 6p or Note 5 for me.

For still imagines I think it works fine, but you'll notice a performance degradation in video if you want any kind of noticeable anti-shake. Without OIS, video capture will be tedious unless you have a very steady hand.

I've checked her IG acc. Her shots are not good enough to show the majestic photography 6P is capable of.
Hope someone else soon does it justice.
