Over 100 Photos taken with the Pixel

[EnemiesInTheEnd]

out of all the Pixel photos taken by reviewers so far, very few(5 or 6) were taken in low-light indoor situations... I wonder why that is...

Yeah. I've seen several everyday people with Pixels now take low light photos and videos and I haven't been impressed with the results. The noise in both really bothers me.

Very nice pictures.
Pixel looks like a Very good photophone

The Nexus cameras are about the 5th best cameras at this point. Apple, HTC, LG, and Samsung all have better cameras. That's not to say that the Nexus cameras are bad though.

I disagree, I just got rid of my s7, and besides speed the 6p shots look better, especially when you crop them. The s7 over sharpens and uses way too much noise reduction, it looks like an oil painting up close.

Sadly, most reviewers take terrible photos with any phone. I suspect it is the lack of time and deadlines, meaning they can't spend a month looking for and taking great shots. I try to find the odd review where someone with a photographer's eye uses a phone and camera for a longer period of time than the typical reviewer can spend. This is one reason why I like to wait at least 6 months after it hits the market before purchasing any new phone. Witness the N7 debacle. Take a look at any collection of great photos, whether on Instagram or in a museum, and you will often be surprised at the pedestrian quality of the photo equipment used.

Actual Samsung photos don't look like the samples in their comparison. It has been established that the Note 7 has a better camera than the iPhone 7 does.

Not sure what you are getting at here. They took it with an actual Samsung phone. I can tell you don't like the results (for some reason), but for that sample, the results are what they are.


None of this matters anyway. In a week or so, I'll have the Pixel and I'll know. Before that many more sites will post comparisons. Anyway, as long as the Pixel shoots great shots, whether they are "better than" my Samsung's is not really critical, you know?

The S7 Edge and Note 7 reduced the sharpening a little bit. I'll take a little bit of a loss in detail over a lot of noise.

Those pictures are not normal Samsung shots though. Some claim the phone has smudges on the lens glass. My Note 5 has never taken pictures as bad as what the Samsung phone showed in that comparison.

News flash: some people like it, some people don't.

This is my shocked face...

Kidding aside, different cameras are going to appeal to the eye of different people. Sure, there are metrics that define "photo quality," but everyone's still going to have different opinions (evidenced by reviews stating this is the best reviewed camera, but some people still finding fault).

I think the pictures look great, personally...but then again, my definition of "great" for me is: "does it look like what I was trying to take a picture of?"

You don't understand what I'm saying, there's not really a loss in detail, it's just over sharpens to the point where it looks bad. I just had the s7 this past Saturday, it's without a doubt noisier/muddier than the 6p. I can't speak for the pixel till I get it in my hands.

He must be nocturnal since he's only concerned with low-lit scenarios and all else means nothing. I rarely shoot low-light, yet I'm a Nikon guy, so I have some amazing equipment for these conditions, but it's just not what I do. I would say 99.9999% of photos I take on my phone stay on it and I rarely spend much time viewing them or even printing camera acquired images. I think it's safe to say that someone is splitting atoms here.

As with any piece of technology, it's obsolete the moment you purchase it.

Oh, did I mention the Pixel photos are amazing?

Nice damn picture. Yeah I don't print much either, just upload, although I need to print some out, I've a few requests for them

I care so much about low light performance for two reasons. One, I take a lot of low light/indoor pictures. Second, any current smartphone can take a good picture in daylight. Where they separate themselves and show which is the best camera is in low light situations.

Not to me. The Pixel photos look better. And I have the Note 7 and the Note 5

AA comparison

it's taken on google warehouse, of course it looked better... and you can't say apple to apple, because this is google...

Pictures look good. But those with the Nexus 5x and 6p how do ya'll think they compare?

 

[LookArpTheStars]

They look really good imo. Some people are saying its not accurate as some of the photos have been post-processed, do keep in mind that most of the good pictures that you see are already processed in some way. It can only bring out the best of whatever you already have

?? The photos were taken by an Android Authority writer not associated with Google. Why does it matter where? Oy vey ..

I'd have to use it myself, but they do both have 1.55 pixel size. From what I understand, the sensor in the 6p is made for point and shoot cameras/camcorders. The thing I like about the 6p camera is you don't lose much quality when you crop.

i'm just kidding sorry haha
anyway, because maybe they set the precise white balance lighting

I don't see much difference at all between the Nexus 6P and Pixel phones. Maybe some software improvements.
