Based solely on the pics that have been posted, because I don't have a Nexus yet, I'd say this camera takes great pics. If I wanted better than that, I would take out my Nikon DSLR. Thanks for the pics everyone :D
[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
I have been using the N6 camera for a while now. I had the N5 for a year, and thought those pics (after google sorted out the camera software) were pretty good. The N6 seems to be slightly better, particularly in ultra close-up situations.

Low light pictures are great.

You have lost your mind if you think the low light pictures are like the Galaxy Nexus compared to Note 4 or iphone 6. Just got back from Singapore and Malaysia and most of my pictures where at night and they look fine. Your comparison is ridiculous.

[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
now macros with this camera took a big getting used to, considering that the nexus 4 and nexus 5 can take photos much closer to the object(about 4.5 inches or so). with the n6, you cant get as close, its about 7-8 inches away. but considering that it is a 13mp camera, you can crop it a little more to make the macro work out.

[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
Just got a Nexus 6. As a former Nexus 5 owner, I am a little surprised by how HDR+ works on this phone. On the Nexus 5, HDR+ would pretty much always result in a much sharper and overall better picture, so most of us just left it on all the time. After doing a bunch of testing with the Nexus 6 though, I can see that photos taken in good lighting (outdoors) are typically sharper without HDR+. Also, HDR+ tends to crush shadows (likely because it's bumping contrast), so if the scene doesn't have a wide range of lighting that would typically necessitate HDR, HDR+ photos actually end up with less dynamic range than photos taken with HDR+ disabled :confused:. I just find it interesting how differently HDR+ works on the N6 compared to the N5, especially with the reduced sharpness. Guess I am only going to use HDR+ in low lighting (where it does improve sharpness) or when I'm getting massively blown highlights without it.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
Almost stepped on this toad while I was taking out the trash. HDR+ did a nice job of bringing light into this fairly low light scene.

[Nexus 6  General] geoff5093:
You wouldn't want to use ISO 3200 anyways, let alone 6400. The noise at that high of an ISO on a phone makes them basically worthless.

This surprises you? The G4 is newer, and has a larger sensor, higher resolution, wider aperture, and much better software. Nexus phones have always had mediocre cameras at best.

That's not why the G4 looks better, as photos you actually look at are not shown at 100%.

These are some photos I shot with my G4 btw: https://www.flickr.com/photos/geoffjohnsonphotography/sets/72157654770914556
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
I don't find my phone camera to be mediocre when it comes to shots I take a bit of care about. Shots have been everywhere from eh to stellar with this phone, but it's also not what I shot a wedding with.

Awesome Paul! I really like the phone. The size is great when in use but it is uncomfortable if wearing snug jeans and sitting down. That's really the only drawback and not a big deal. Takes good pictures with minimal effort. The N5 was a great phone.

[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
Word. I grabbed the M8 and converted it to GPe - which is actually pretty nice. BUT - somewhat regretting it because of my love for nexus devices. Just really thought the phone would be too big. I planned on staying with the N5 for a while longer, but I got my wife a new phone - so, of course, I had to get something new (now there's no turning back). ;/

Hope everything's going well over there. I definitely miss that place. I do go to JMT sporadically. Tell K I said hi, please.

My understanding is the app has been updated and with the update have come many issues. The issues are being sorted out at the moment. My Nexus should arrive next Friday, and I've been using the paid FV5 app for a couple of years with my Note 2. I'll do a ton of tests as soon as it gets here.

i moved here to brooklyn from the suburbs of cincinnati about 10 years ago. when i moved here, i went crazy living in centralized brooklyn. i moved to manhattan beach 1 month before hurricane sandy, then i lost all my stuff. after, the owner of the house rebuilt, and i moved back in. its by far the most peaceful neighborhood in brooklyn, and the wealthiest zip code in brooklyn(im not, but a two bedroom apartment inside of a house is fairly cheap for brooklyn).

All these photos were taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

-They have not been edited in anyway

-All were taken with the stock camera app

I'm extremely satisfied.

[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
Hey guys,

Have had the N6 for about a month and been mostly happy with the camera. However, I was disappointed with the Nexus 6 pictures last night. Take a look. All shot indoors in bright light, using the stock Google camera. Some of the photos were shot without HDR turned on, some with. The photos all seem over exposed?

Anyone got any ideas on how to improve quality in these conditions? My girlfriend's LG G3 was shooting much better photos in the same environment.
[Nexus 6  General] neriamarillo:
Try using HDR+ next time. The LG G3 has the HDR in auto mode if no settings have been touched so that's probably why they came out better. You need HDR in situations like that due to the differences with the lights etc.
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
Did you try and wipe off the lens? Looks like the effects of a finger print....
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
looks like you did not use the touch to focus function, but just pointed and shot. if you just point and shoot, it takes an average focused photo of the whole scene, and the lighting wont really adjust. if you press to focus, the part of the image that you focused on will be sharp, and the lighting will adjust properly.

[Nexus 6  General] xxaarraa:
That's a really high quality photo. Can you talk me through how you are using the camera? Any specific settings? Do you touch to focus on a certain part of the view finder?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
one thing, i always touch to focus. thats the only way you will get it very focused. otherwise, itll just be an average focus over the whole shot. oh, and the lighting is perfect. many times the lighting isnt that great, even though to your eyes it seems fine.
[Nexus 6  General] kidrobot52:

[Nexus 6  General] bozint:
There are some nice pictures here, but nothing really special as "no compromises" suggested. The Note 4 and IP6+ cameras do excel this year.

I was expecting more from the camera to be honest, and I blame the camera app and its subpar processing of taken images. However, Nexus phones have not been bought because of their camera capabilities, and that's okay, but this years price of the N6 makes things more difficult to swallow.
[Nexus 6  General] das boot:
It is in the top 3 cameras on the market in one of the top 3 phones on the market, and oh by the way, it is less expensive than the other 2 (iPhone and Note 4).

$150+ less than the iPhone....done deal
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
i normally blame the lack of image quality not on the camera, but on the user. the camera does its job right, its up to the user to "tell" the camera what to do. the problem is, majority of people dont really know how to use a camera properly.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

[Nexus 6  General] j3nnning:
Really? What's your "no compromise" photos then? Note 4 and iPhone 6+ photos are not miles ahead of Nexus 6, as shown by many of the comparisons done out there. Even in this thread it self there are already plenty of amazing photos. Sick of people claiming "compromises" just because of its higher price.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
one gull landing on another gulls head..
[Nexus 6  General] bozint:
It maybe in the top 3, but the top two for now seem the Note 4 and the iPhone 6+. And those two seem like they stand in another category. I am not talking prise wise, but camera output.

Mate that, and the other pictures you posted are great, but as you said it yourself, you have some perfect sunlit situation. I've taken some great pictures with my N4, even my GNex, but most of the time in regular situations the output is sub par, and I can't even compare it to my wife's iPhone 5. Talking about the Nexus 4.

By no compromise I meant that most pre-reviews were raving about a no compromise phone, hence the price. Once the reviews came out, it was okay, maybe a bit more, and quite less in low light situations.

Guys, no need to bash me, I'm a Nexus guy, and I love the phone, I'll end up buying it once it gets released over in my country. I just thought that the camera would be much more better, and I think Google is not doing a good job with the camera app.

I am getting a Note 4 since I'm getting a good deal atm, and will switch to the N6 once it comes up (unless it really surprises me, which I highly doubt due to TouchWiz). The Nexus is not about the camera, never has been for me, but since I had my newborn, I've been wanting my N4 to take better photos and thought the N6 would do it, and it probably will do it better.

Peace and I will be enjoying your posted photos until then.
