Very valid points. I honestly had not thought of it that way.

Here is one more from the Bastille concert last night. Did pretty well in low light

Especially for a concert, that's a really solid pic. Cameras in phones have been notoriously terrible at that. I can't say that is a terrible picture at all. I'm still not seeing how this camera sucks...

Why does this camera suck again? Can anyone tell me?

Some of my first photos. NOT set to HDR, which provides even better results. The close-up flower photo was taken about 6 inches away, and the fern shot was taken well after sunset, almost dark, all settings auto except flash turned off...

Gotta say, those pics look great to me - if the Droid Turbo I'm waiting for equals those I'll be delighted.

Panoramic afternoon sky shot.

HDR, otherwise everything else on auto...

Panoramic afternoon sky shot.

Well stitched panorama!

This is one area the 2014 Moto X blows away the 2013 Moto X camera. On the 2013, with the sun in that direction, the sky would be blown-out white with serious fringing into the trees/landscape.

Serious question: How come there is such a gulf between photos posted here and sample photos posted on website reviews/blogs, etc? I mean, they are almost all unanimous about the Moto X's average camera versus everyone here almost unanimously showing great quality photos.

What's the disparity? How can we have such polarizing results all from one camp and the other all from another? I'm not saying anyone is being dishonest or manipulating photos here in this thread. I am asking a serious question; what is causing the difference?

Because people tend not to share crappy photos while blogs (probably) look for 'typical' shots and not just the 'best' shots.

Here's one of our dogs in her chair. Clearly full sun outside - not dark inside at all. Doesn't look great. About on par with the nexus 5 I was doing side-by-sides with.

Yeah. Looks very noisy. Very cute dog, by the way.

Do you think you could post the Nexus 5 photo for comparison's sake? I'm a Nexus 5 owner.

Ugh still - low light is like no light

Indoors is like no light. Just a tradeoff when you go moto

same pic nexus 5

Looks better. The nexus 5 camera has really grown to be pretty good in my opinion. People are always really impressed with my nexus pics.

Sigh. Such a shame about the moto x camera. At this point it's keeping me from pulling the trigge . I need to wait to see a software update and see how the resulsts are before I can commit.

Thanks for sharing.

Its like this with every Motorola phone. It won't improve with updates so if its not good enough now then you should maybe go to your plan b if you have one.

I don't want to admit it, but you're likely right. Unfortunately, plan B was the new Nexus, and now that it's out, it's just too big for my taste.

Xperia Z3 Compact is a distant second choice as well, but I really dislike Sony's skin, light though it may be.

I hate to say it, but I may go back to the iPhone, as much as I don't really want to.
