This is a whole year late I know but this is also on the pixel 3, google nightsight is a software they designed that turns lowlight photos into amazing shots
What about shooting moving objects? There's always blurred parts when I want to take pictures of children playing, mtb shots, any moving object for that matter. I'm very disappointed, as I wanted the best portable camera to take with me on my mountain bike trips. Any help would be much appreciated.
If you're shooting during daylight it wouldn't be a problem especially with HDR+ (not the enhanced version). As you go to lower light conditions, a bigger sensor like a DSLR would be required for moving objects.
I own a brand new pixel 2, I was very excited about it based on all those ravishing reviews, but I've discovered a few shortcomings like uneven background blurriness and very crappy panoramic shots which are blurry and the stiching is really terrible. This is very disappointing because Nexus 5 did a great job in panoramic shots. By the way, there are no reviews about panoramic shots on RUclips, could someone point that out so Google can work hard on fixing these issues?
I have a question. The camera app seems to change aspect ratio when you change from photo to video. Can the photo be adjusted to have a wider aspect ratio like the video?
Today I'm leaving and going somewhere to take pictures and it's very cloudy out should I use light icon the setting in the pixel 2 XL were it shows cloudy or should I keep my regular
Yongki Siaw hahaha I gotta say you might be onto something. Folks with 835 can just downloaded it right now and it makes a phone like the essential phone with shit camera into a dynamic range monster almost like the Pixel.
Nickoy1 Channel but they need to optimize the app for other phones first. I mean there ways to get the google camera app right now but not all phones can use it 😶
Yongki Siaw yea it's a good idea for them but why would we want this as consumers? I don't think anyone wants ads to pop up randomly when in trying to take pictures.
"The Pixel suffers in low lighting conditions" Well... Not anymore! Night sight! I'm so impressed by my Pixel 2's camera. It's gotten better with every update. Even when a shot looks terrible in the preview, after it gets processed in ends up looking amazing. Every time. It's like magic.
Using this app on my OnePlus 6.. needless to say...the output is so good even factoring the considerable quality of the stock OnePlus app itself.. practically magic.
Ahmed Kareem iPhone looks great, but I've seen a few comparisons where it washes out the sky or bright objects in backgrounds. For portrait photography, I actually disagree with this reviewer though. I think the iPhone looks better even if it's less sharp
Ahmed Kareem photo-Pixel 2, portrait-Iphone 8 plus, Stabilization in video-pixel 2, Video quality and options like beast 4k 60fps and 1080p 240fps-8 plus- Selfie-A Tie as iphones take amazing sharp accurate color selfies whereas pixel 2 can take front portraits
Boundless Atilier u know hdr is the best feature for me on the phone camera untill now not many youtubers show clearly photo of 8plus vs pixel 2 on agrressive hdr situatuations
Ahmed Kareem makes sense. The "dull colors" is just software, but because the screen is LG, not Samsung, the blue color at an angle is definitely real. Burn-in is random and most people can't see it, but totally fair if it's caused by manufacturing issues. Granted, the pixel 2 has a great Samsung screen assuming you're ok with big bezels.
Wow what a great camera on the pixel 2 xl... And camera review on this channel are awesome... Love from Pakistan... Hope to win this great camera phone through android headlines and Caseology international giveaway
Perhaps someone a lot smarter than me can explain this to me, If each pixel is actually dual pixel? Doesnt that decrease the micron size by half per pixel/sub pixel?
maans le roux They're still the same pixel however it can use two sides of it and then combine it as one in order for better images, better depth perception and faster focussing as one pixel can do double the work whilst still being part of the same pixel... I THINK! Loool.
I've had the note 8 since it was released, I just purchased a pixel 2 xl because I caught a very good deal, I must say, I haven't used my note 8 since, but I definitely wouldn't get rid of it lol
I SWITCHED TO PIXEL 2 XL. REALLY BECAUSE OF HOW GREAT EVERYONE SAID THE CAMERA WAS. IM NOT REALLY IMPRESSED. ALOT OF SHOTS SEEM TO BE REALLY DARK. I LIKE THE AUTO FILTER FEATURE BUT THERES NO WAY TO SET IT TO AUTOMATICALLY USE IT SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO PROCESS IT.MY WIFES IPHONE X SEEMS TO BE BETTER SIDE BY SIDE FOR EVERYDAY SHOTS.
Why the phone companies can make thicker phones but smaler. It would save many eyes from wearing glases and it is much more conviniente to put into the pocket. I woukd never ever gonna but 5 inch or bigger phone no matter how good the phone would be.
Hope you folks don't fall too much in love with it. I've had my Pixel 2 for a year and 2 months and the camera is done. I spent 2 hours on the phone last night with Verizon and google and after doing everything we can, including erasing the entire phone and rebooting it, the camera is still junk! Of course Verizon isn't going to do anything and google told me to send it in and if the lite scratches are too bad they will just send it back to me and then I have a broken phone. But, if my 14 month old phone is in perfect condition they will replace it. Anyone want to take any bets on what they think? Actually I'm going to get a cheap phone with Cricket or someone for the time being, and If Verizon or google screw me, they can keep their number and their overpriced junk.
W what a great camera on the pixel 2 xl.. And camera review is just starting love from Pakistan.. Hope to win this great camera phone through android headlines and Caseology international giveaway
Is this really that much better than Nexus 5x and 6p? The camera on those with HDR+ is amazing, and everyone always seems to forget about these phones and the quality of the camera...
I m watching this review on my pixel 2 ...the only and the biggest problem which u missed to mention is that it absolutely does not show real colour in pics captured .red appear to be brick brown ...it's pathetic..it's a overpriced phone
Only hours after the pre order start the expected delivery for th XL 2 was last week in Nov or 1st week in Dec to Canada. The regular pixel 2 is only through carrier available before Nov. Anywhere unlocked it's mid Nov. I'm not interested in the small one.
That's only part of the issue though. If it was loaded with all the hardware bells and whistles it would be at least worth the wait. Like I said though, software can be updated and Ali's can be improved and camera software can be improved as well. Hardware is permanent. What there isn't changing physically from a hardware stand point. And as I do I d out tonight with the note 8, they have wife's HDMI compatibility back. That's very rare in 2017.
Bikko Looking at the 4k 60 samples from the iPhone X and it looks trash. 4k 30 on the x looked better in terms of hdr and colors. When it processed the video it can't keep up and because of this the iPhone X might be recording in more framerate but the colors look horrible. It simply isn't the best...
One of the best camera reviews
Absolutely agree !
crazy camera...puts note 8 and iphone 8+ to shame
Just got mine a few days ago. So far it looks awesome. I will be using it a lot for my social media and web videos. Thanks for sharing your review.
Watching on my pixel 2 :)
Graham c I’m sorry
That screen is awesome of pixel burn 2
Same
That's my favourite phone ever! You are very lucky to have it. I can't afford it so yeah.😭
Sameeee
Camera is a beast.
portrait mode is the best feature which i want in my phone
Actually can the camera see the same thing as you can see with your eyes
Visual Core!! That's some serious stuff here.
Don't forget there making HDR+ available to third pary software so that's were the real magic will happen
Instagram and Hyperlapse drooling.
HDR+ on or enhanced? which one is used the most?
does it takes good pictures during night? and in the front camera does it have flash? 😄
This is a whole year late I know but this is also on the pixel 3, google nightsight is a software they designed that turns lowlight photos into amazing shots
You can literally take pictures of stars on it. Night Sight is amazing.
Does motion picture take video with sound or just video?
Thanks ^^
thumb up for fast upload, so many reviewer havnt got thier content ready regarding pixel 2 camera review you are the 1sgt indept review i see so far
What about shooting moving objects? There's always blurred parts when I want to take pictures of children playing, mtb shots, any moving object for that matter. I'm very disappointed, as I wanted the best portable camera to take with me on my mountain bike trips. Any help would be much appreciated.

does it have "beauty effect" like the lg and huawei?
GamezJudger nope!
Well it's not on by default
Nice video, are you guys located in Asheville Nc?
I own a brand new pixel 2, I was very excited about it based on all those ravishing reviews, but I've discovered a few shortcomings like uneven background blurriness and very crappy panoramic shots which are blurry and the stiching is really terrible.

By the way, there are no reviews about panoramic shots on RUclips, could someone point that out so Google can work hard on fixing these issues?
Ok anyone else notice how at 8 seconds into video there's some non Google pixel 2 phone. The lens and flash are switched..
I have a question. The camera app seems to change aspect ratio when you change from photo to video. Can the photo be adjusted to have a wider aspect ratio like the video?
Hay could you not get a photo app that can over ride the camera options to make it manual ? Like camera FV -5 app ??
I enjoyed watching this and your V30 camera reviews very much. Very informative and thorough!
Today I'm leaving and going somewhere to take pictures and it's very cloudy out should I use light icon the setting in the pixel 2 XL were it shows cloudy or should I keep my regular
If google had LG V30s camera app it'd be brilliant.
One thing I wish is that it could use the front facing camera in video mode
does it record video at 60fps on 1080p?
Solid review. Good job man.
Oh my god this portrait mode!!!
Google should monetize their camera app cause it's really this good. They would make tons of money from this app 😶
Yongki Siaw hahaha I gotta say you might be onto something. Folks with 835 can just downloaded it right now and it makes a phone like the essential phone with shit camera into a dynamic range monster almost like the Pixel.
Nickoy1 Channel but they need to optimize the app for other phones first. I mean there ways to get the google camera app right now but not all phones can use it 😶
Facts! I heard they are working to do something like that online.
Put video ads in the camera app after ever 1-10 photos, and a picture ad after every 30 seconds.
Yongki Siaw yea it's a good idea for them but why would we want this as consumers? I don't think anyone wants ads to pop up randomly when in trying to take pictures.
"The Pixel suffers in low lighting conditions"
Well... Not anymore! Night sight!
I'm so impressed by my Pixel 2's camera. It's gotten better with every update. Even when a shot looks terrible in the preview, after it gets processed in ends up looking amazing. Every time. It's like magic.
Can you zoom in or out in portrait mode
No
Using this app on my OnePlus 6.. needless to say...the output is so good even factoring the considerable quality of the stock OnePlus app itself.. practically magic.
Great camera coverage. Thanks!
How many seconds to take portrait shot???? I mean clicking then watching in gallery
Ultimate King, like 2 seconds. It happens very quickly
Jordan LaFlamme Thanks for reply but with dual sensors it take time like normal shot because there is no post processing.
Can you plz make a camera comparision with iphone 8 plus specially in an aggressive hdr situations ????
Ahmed Kareem iPhone looks great, but I've seen a few comparisons where it washes out the sky or bright objects in backgrounds. For portrait photography, I actually disagree with this reviewer though. I think the iPhone looks better even if it's less sharp

Andrew Combs thank you bro for me im lil confused since the screen issues of the pixel xl 2 ..i think ill wait for the iphone x to decide then
Boundless Atilier u know hdr is the best feature for me on the phone camera untill now not many youtubers show clearly photo of 8plus vs pixel 2 on agrressive hdr situatuations

Gonna assume the pixel 2 is more comfortable to hold right?
Good review btw
simply no competition in terms of dynamic range
is it water proof
Great Job HTC !!
Wow what a great camera on the pixel 2 xl... And camera review on this channel are awesome... Love from Pakistan... Hope to win this great camera phone through android headlines and Caseology international giveaway
Great video!!
Im in love with the pixel 2

Ohhh my killer phone camera super good job Google very lovable phone in all things
I've had the note 8 since it was released, I just purchased a pixel 2 xl because I caught a very good deal, I must say, I haven't used my note 8 since, but I definitely wouldn't get rid of it lol
I keep skipping back to 2:55. Oh my gawd someone stop me please.

You didn't mention the grain and artifacting...
I SWITCHED TO PIXEL 2 XL. REALLY BECAUSE OF HOW GREAT EVERYONE SAID THE CAMERA WAS. IM NOT REALLY IMPRESSED. ALOT OF SHOTS SEEM TO BE REALLY DARK.

Wow wow wow wow wow !!!!!!!
Google Pixel Camera. *THE BEST*
I think the Galaxy S8 autofocus it is faster probably one the faster any smartphone
Best Phone Camera.Hands down.
2:29 this photo looks like photoshop
So the Pixel couldn't do video and photo at the same time? lol
Why the phone companies can make thicker phones but smaler.
It would save many eyes from wearing glases and it is much more conviniente to put into the pocket.
I woukd never ever gonna but 5 inch or bigger phone no matter how good the phone would be.

No manual mode for camera? :(
Hovhannes Hovakimyan sony xz1 has the best manual mode. And the camera is good too
Please let me know thank you
google pixel is the king of android
I totally disagree. I take about 60 pics a day for work & I want my Iphone back. These pics are not sharp & colors are off.
Sony photos wow better than Samsung note 8
Best camera 2017
Best cam
W what a great camera on the pixel 2 xl.. And camera review is just starting love from Pakistan.. Hope to win this great camera phone through android headlines and Caseology international giveaway
😍
pixel 2 on review but V30 is recording xD but i Still like Pixel #teampixel
Great review Sir. More camera comparison please...
That dynamic range on V30 is really bad.
Is this really that much better than Nexus 5x and 6p? The camera on those with HDR+ is amazing, and everyone always seems to forget about these phones and the quality of the camera...
Peter Tollan it's a lot better... You forget the Nexus 5x and 6P are now 2 generations old.. I have the P2XL and the Nexus 6P Just for reference.
I've done some absolutely amazing photos with the 5X. Just took 3000 pics in Japan. But the Pixel 2 is a totally different level
Go slower, I can't keep up with what you are showing on the camera. I have a pixel 2 and my screen doesn't look like yours.
😃 decent phone
Have you heard of a Huawei P10?
🤗🤗
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😎😎
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I m watching this review on my pixel 2 ...the only and the biggest problem which u missed to mention is that it absolutely does not show real colour in pics captured .red appear to be brick brown ...it's pathetic..it's a overpriced phone
Now if only you could buy one without waiting until December. In Canada anyways
Tyler g you weren't Quick enough to preorder
Only hours after the pre order start the expected delivery for th XL 2 was last week in Nov or 1st week in Dec to Canada. The regular pixel 2 is only through carrier available before Nov. Anywhere unlocked it's mid Nov. I'm not interested in the small one.
That's only part of the issue though. If it was loaded with all the hardware bells and whistles it would be at least worth the wait. Like I said though, software can be updated and Ali's can be improved and camera software can be improved as well. Hardware is permanent. What there isn't changing physically from a hardware stand point. And as I do I d out tonight with the note 8, they have wife's HDMI compatibility back. That's very rare in 2017.
😄
No manual :(
AgentJake third party app 😶
Yongki Siaw seriously...
Luis Torres yes seriously. That's the beauty of android or any smartphones right now, right?. U want a certain feature, just download it.
Yongki Siaw twas sarcastic......... I know. Lolz.. Im referring to the other comment and reviewer stating there's no manual controls *face-palm
No manual means it can’t be the best overall sorry, no 4K @60fps not the best camera of all time so cut it out.
Mickey Mania But it is the best. That is all.
What smartphone can do 4K at 60fps?
Bikko
Thanks. I guess it may likely receive a video score of 100 from DXOMarks
Bikko Looking at the 4k 60 samples from the iPhone X and it looks trash. 4k 30 on the x looked better in terms of hdr and colors. When it processed the video it can't keep up and because of this the iPhone X might be recording in more framerate but the colors look horrible. It simply isn't the best...
tonymtlwpg only 30fps
LG V30
Note 8 is better
Lol
In zooming. Yes. In everything else. No... Not to mention Pixel has 1 camera and does Portrait better
Not in photos. Not by a long shot
👍👍👍👍👍
