I was blown away when Google photos first asked, "Do you want to keep this panoramic I made from the photos you took?" Nice pics
[Nexus 6P General] lonnierm:
Pics from hiking this summer. The panoramic is from Google photos automatically stitching a half dozen photos together on its own and asking me if I wanted to keep it--heck ya!

We are in the middle of a drought and have several forest fires burning near us. This one was on my way home yesterday. It was across the valley as I was driving down the highway. What impressed me was that it was still able to capture the fire on the ground if you zoom in. The other shots are from the morning coming back across the mountain into the valley where the fire is.

Hi, let me ask you something, Google photos compress the IMG? Or not? Cause I want to back up the pics into web... Another thing, the one like a panoramic, you use the panoramic option? Or how you got that? Are you using stock camera?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] thebigears:
I opted to go with the unlimited high quality backups, so they've been compressed. Still looks pretty amazing, so I've been happy with the service. There's also the option to save the originals though. Here's more info on that: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791

As for the app, yup it's just the stock Google Camera. The panoramic shot was with the panoramic mode, made it really easy.

I think the stock camera is quite slow and sucks at choosing the right focus on close objects, but its HDR capabilities are just great in low light conditions, so I'm sticking with it.

I use stock all the time. Slow maybe, but the HDR+ beats anything else available. The modded Zero Lag version is working well and a it is a little faster.

Check out the DxO S6 video review. It has OIS and barely scores higher (59 vs 55) and has the exact same issue mentioned as the 6P (strong jello effect)

Can we all now just accept the Nexus has a very good camera now?

LOL
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Comment on the shake in the video sample - narrator states he was trying to test stabilization - in other words - he was shaking the device on purpose.

And - if you do the same on the n5, which does have ois - you get the same results.

I think some don't realize what ois is capable of, and what its limits are.

By the way - doing the same on a grands worth of camera equipment also produces the same result.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Also don't forget the EIS is software... therefore it can be tweaked as they said in the reddit thread ..
[Nexus 6P General] 640k:
actually i was more impressed at the level of detail and i didn't notice any jelly/clayface.
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
Especially limited when you are dealing with such a small space in which to implement it. EIS is also only partly software, the gyroscope is still there and used, the software part, instead of moving the actuator the image is adjusted with software... like this!

http://gfycat.com/CheerfulDifferentIndochinahogdeer

That is the other way around tho... but you get the point.
[Nexus 6P General] warplane95:
he only tested it at the end of the video.

compare this video to the Z5 and you'll notice the Z5 is really stable.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
And the Z5 does not have OIS
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
I'm pretty sure EIS won't work with 4K video because there is not enough pixels in the sensor.

Basically, EIS uses pixels outside the border of the visible frame to provide a buffer for the motion and then use it to smooth the transition from frame to frame. But 4K video uses nearly all the available pixels of the sensor so there nothing left for EIS.

[Nexus 6P General] cb474:
DxoMarks' ratings and pretty bogus. They are more of a promotional wing for the phone and camera industry than a real photography review site.

They don't do real side by sides tests, taking photos in lots of different conditions, but rather try to turn photography analysis into a purely technical test. This is just a bad way to analyze a camera. Hence they come up with bizarre results like ranking the Nexus 6 (which every serious review and photography site agrees has a very mediocre camera) above the Nokia 808 (which remains the best phone camera ever made with a 1/1.2 sensor that is years ahead, still, of the best phones). DxoMark is kind of like JD Powers; rather than doing real independent reviews, that have come up with a technical seeming scheme whose real purpose is to always rate the newest thing highly, in order to help promote phone sales in general. Why do you think DxoMark gets to rank and review the phone before anyone else and be ready right when the phone is first announced? Because they're just doing PR for camera and phone companies. So, we really have to wait for the real phone and photography review sites to get their hands on this phone.

That aside, the iPhone 6S, with it's tiny increasingly out of date 1/3 sensor is far from the best camera so it wouldn't take much to do better than it. We should expect the 1/2.3 sensor in the 6P to be better, but not assume that it's going to be amazing, until there's real proof from people who know what they're doing.

Overcast conditions, essentially daylight photography, without direct glare from the sun, are just about ideal conditions for photography. Any phone of the last few years would have produced a great photo in that place at that moment. So it's meaningless.

This always happens, when a new phone comes out. Before the real photography reviewers get a chance to put it through it's paces, people post all kinds of photos taken in ideal situations that create a great photo, to make the camera look good. You can conclude exactly nothing from this, about the relative merits of the 6P camera versus other flagships out there.

Waiting sucks. But all of this is meaningless until we get real reviews, from people who aren't trying to promote the phone.

DxO measures and comments on things like slow focus, noise in low light ,etc (both were strong cons for the 808). So I mean its not entirely useless.

[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
Yep :)

It doesn't get any better than DXO reviews IMO.

There is a reason all these OEM's pay them money to provide their professional analysis of their products.

Also - asking for 'real' photos from users rather than 'what a camera can do' is even worse!

We all know the very best camera in the world can produce truly awful photos from a useless amateur behind it.

DXO are Professional, independent & unbiased - what's not to like. :P
[Nexus 6P General] cb474:
This said by someone who is posting images from the Nexus 6P created for promotional purposes.

A professional photographer can make any phone look great. Go back and look at promotional images released for older phones that obviously do not have as good cameras as today's phones and you will find they always look just as great as the images you have posted. You can find images like them from phones released years ago. It's easy to do this before the phone is out and before independent third parties have had the chance to test them in an unbiased fashion. But it does not tell us anything about the relative merits of a new phone's camera. It's just the typical PR in the hype phase for a new phone, before it is released and in the hands of people outside of the company that made it.

That aside, the reason, obviously, that DXoMark are paid by OEMs is because they are doing PR for the OEMs (as I said). Paying the company that reviews your products is the most clear possible conflict of interest you could have. Except there is no conflict of interest, because DxoMark is essentially a PR company for the industry; so their interests are perfectly aligned. No serious photographer cares about DxoMark. There are plenty of sites that do good reviews of phone cameras, like ArsTechnica, AnandTech. Or look at a real photography site like DPReview, they reveiw phone cameras too.

The whole numerical rating thing DxoMark does is just a bunch of hocus pocus, with made up numbers, that they do not even explain. Ranking phones and assigning essentially arbitrary numerical ratings to their various functions is not the way any serious photography site would review a camera. Consumers like rankings, because they are simple and easy to understand. But they are also simplistic and not insightful.

Futher, photography is an art. You can't just do a bunch of technical analysis on a camera and think that you have said much about its capabilities. Again, no serious photography site reviews cameras this way. It creates a false appearance of objectivity, while really just providing a bunch of numbers that don't mean much (if anything). If you look in photography forums you find lots of people discussing how bogus and meaningless it is when DxoMark assigns a number to a camera function, how they don't explain how they even come up with the numbers, and how they frequently rate obviously lower quality cameras better than much better ones.

Yes, it is more of a hassle to read a long complex review of a camera, than to just look at a simplistic top ten ranking or a couple random beautiful photos that a professional photographer took. But real information usually is complicated. And you can learn things about photopraphy from good reviews. From a ranking with almost no explanation you learn nothing. It's purpose is more to confuse people and prevent them from judging for themselves the qualities of different cameras, from careful examples and detailed explanations.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Dxomark gives iPhone 6s+ an 82.

Still behind the 6p, even with ois.

Nice
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Whats interesting is that its even behind the 6 (also an 82 but the decimal point is lower on the 6S)

I think everyone can agree that DxO isnt the end all be all of camera phone rankings. As you mentioned its more about the photographer. But what they do measure should theoretically translate into what the average person would be able to take better pictures with. It also means that any review no matter how in-depth is technically flawed since the person taking the picture matters almost as much as the hardware itself
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
A photographer, a real photographer, has the advantage of composition, which can create a more pleasing picture - depending on who is looking at it.

Measuring how much detail or noise a sensor has is another thing.

Composition is subjective, measuring detail on a graduated scale is objective.

The 2 shouldn't be confused as they are totally different.
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
mod edit

OEM's pay for their services so its flawed & simply a PR stunt?

Get real, DXOMARK is a professional business that does not work for free, If you want them to analyse your camera hardware, you have to pay for the privilege of them to do so.

Also, Constantly spurting out rubbish such as:

"A professional photographer can make any phone look good"

That statement is absolutely no different to a crap amateur making a Fantastic camera look bad.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
Let's also remember their 6p camera analysis was a pre-production unit. It will get better.

The N5 camera was massively improved after release. I still get compliments on my N5 shots.
[Nexus 6P General] blassster:
Yeah, saw something about them wanting to improve the 6P video stabilization algorithm further. There's lots of room for improvement on Google Camera, even if it looks like the new one compresses a bit less. I always hated the aggressive denoise and compression smear with the current one's images. Also, RAW should be interesting.

Shouldn't be any difference really. The apps just control camera interface.

Any processing should be done at the hardware level. Many a real camera doesn't allow you to play with that - unfortunately!
[Nexus 6P General] orangekid:
Ok guys, while we do not resort to calling names and attacking users (as clearly outlined by a moderator in the last page), this whole argument about the camera is pretty off topic to this thread.

Can we please just start a new thread on this topic if a conversation is really desired?

But this thread is literally just about posting pics taken with the camera. No issue with anyone arguing about how good or bad the camera is, just let's do it in a thread more about that.

Thanks.

[Nexus 6P General] orangekid:
Lol I get what you mean, and you do make a good point.

I don't mean that this thread has to stay 100% ON TOPIC OR ELSE blaaawerhwrew.

Of course discussions will come up in this thread about the camera specs, comparing to iPhone, and other stuff, and honestly that can slide, because like you say, it's inevitable and does make things interesting, but it has to relate to the topic, and really you don't want pages of crazy arguing about who knows what after a while.

Honestly if this goes slightly OT I am not going to come in a buzzkill the scene, just let's try to keep it civil and generally about the topic. Once people actually have the phone in hand I suspect it will be more pics and less argue.
