I just had one of those mad scientist, gotta try this just to find out, ideas. Does anyone have a polarizing filter for their Canons or Nikons? Can you hold that in front of your Nexus 6P camera and snap a few photos? Particularly where you are getting crazy lens flair?

I'm thinking of getting something like this, cutting it down, and sticking it over my camera lens where the case will hold it in place...

http://amzn.com/B014Q8I6DO

I think it's made of glass, so I'm probably going to shatter it... but hey, if it doesn't work, hey... I'm only out $10.

Or better yet, someone has to make a polarizing film, yeah?

I have a random selection of photos from my Nexus 6P - http://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/11/10/nexus-6p-just-how-good-is-the-camera-camera-samples/

I will upload some more directly on here. I was pleased with quality.

Few sample shots I clicked: http://imgur.com/gallery/Wudkn/new

First image is of my Tele in dark condition. All the lunch time pics were clicked in indoor lighting with big areas of shadows. All images in HDR+ mode.

The battery life screenshots were when I was waiting for my Nano SIM to arrive and and was using the phone on Flight Mode. Not bad.. :)
[Nexus 6P General] lanza6p:
How is HDR+ for capturing moving objects?

Still waiting for my 6p to come but was wondering how HDR+ performs with moving objects, both in good daylight conditions and low light situations (though I guess in low light blurriness will be highly visible). In the end my main use of the camera will be taking pictures of my kids (5 and 2 y/o) so static photography such as landscapes, skylines, macro shots and so on which is shown in most picture quality threads is not so important for my real life use of the camera.

Also, I've read processing HDR+ pictures is a bit slow. Does such processing happen in the background and you may keep taking photos while the processing is taking place in the background or do you have to wait for the processing to finish before being able to takie the next photo?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
It's fantastic!

You can look at the pic of my dog, not the best lighting, and as I snapped the pic she was whipping her head around.

What I notice is the camera is very fast - as in it takes in so much light that shutter speeds are still pretty fast and iso is still relatively low in low light. Extremely low light may show a little blur, but it's very slight, if at all.

Processing is fast. Much much faster than my n5. Snap a pic, go to view it, and you may wait maybe a sec on processing.

All in all, camera is impressive. Still no match for a 6 yr/$700 Nikon dslr, but I am very very impressed to see this level of picture quality in a $550 phone - or less if you go for the 5x.

Oh, processing is in the background. You can snap 1 after another with hdr on only waiting on autofocus, which is also fast.

[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
I think the issue is the light bouncing around and hitting the back of the glass on the inside! Just a thought, not 100% sure, but that's kind of what it looks like. Maybe hitting the edges of the glass. Try putting some electrical tape around the edges of the glass on the back and see if it still happens.
[Nexus 6P General] Elnrik:
I was thinking the same the other day. It's a pretty long piece of glass for light to bounce around in.
[Nexus 6P General] asdf916:
Any of you guys have trouble with focusing on a glass object? I like to take pictures of my beer (yes, beer elitist) in whatever glass cup it's served in and can never get the camera to focus correctly. Laser AF problems?
[Nexus 6P General] inneyeseakay:
Focused on rim of glass, first try. No issues...

(ignore the mismatched glass/beer, I'm at home... Haha)
[Nexus 6P General] asdf916:
Interesting. I'm wondering if lighting is contributing to the focusing problems because I usually do my drinking in less than ideal light condition (dark). Examples below:

I would tap to focus on various spots of the glass but can never get it right. I'd have my friends who have iPhones snap it for me. Perfect on first try.
[Nexus 6P General] Elnrik:
After 5 of those, I'm wondering: Could the problem be the beer, and not the camera? Just curious.
[Nexus 6P General] inneyeseakay:
Focus looks pretty spot on to me (on my phone screen)
[Nexus 6P General] syntrix:
DOF is thin, and that's normal with a wide open aperture.

Control the lighting by increasing it, and the "focal plane" gets "deeper". That's photography 080, not even 101.

How would I increase lighting at a drinking establishment? Ask the bartender to turn up the lights?
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
This may help with exposure in stock camera app, in some circumstances anyway.

Seems the camera uses spot metering. I've been tapping the screen to focus, and thereby metering, on different parts of the scene to "adjust" metering.

Ie - to get brighter, focus on a darker part of the scene, opposite for darker exposures.

Playing around with that a bit can make a big difference, as long as you can get the main subject in the proper focus. The further away the subject, the easier it is.

Of course, an app with manual controls, and there are a few available, would be the way to go.

Closeups - seems like about 6 inches is as close as you can get for proper focus.

Just some observations from playing with this fantastic camera.

A couple I took out at work.

I am genuinely astonished by the low light quality of these photo's, especially compared to the S6 Edge we tried to use first. That, and the viewfinder on my phone was just showing black!

All we had was a tiny bit of ambient light from nearby roads, and it was overcast, the middle of the night and raining. The only fault I could pick is the signal in the background has the orange diffused massively. Actually and they're a tad noisy, but like I said, it was pretty much pitch black.

[Nexus 6P General] fastredponycar:
So far I'm really digging the camera on the 6p. I have an iphone 6 plus and the front facing camera on the 6p stomps the iphone's front camera into a mud hole. Clearer resolution, wider FOV, less noise, better low light, etc.

Rear camera, in low light, the 6p is a little better and in daylight, it's pretty much a toss up

4K video on the 6p and low light video on the 6p is SO much better than the iphone's video but the fact that the 6p can't do 1080 @ 60fps is absolutely mind-boggling.

Also, I noticed that with ProShot and Mi2Raw, capturing RAW format, there is little to no difference in image quality when importing both file types of the same image into adobe lightroom.. just the RAW taking up WAY more space and taking a lot longer to process each image (no burst capablity)

Moderate room lighting

Very low light at the pizza place. The camera used

f/2

1/24

4.67mm

ISO1078

And for comparison another low light shot using the iphone 6 plus rear camera, just washed out and grainy which is pretty much how all my shots with the iphone in low light turn out.

It used:

f/2.2

1/4

4.15mm

ISO320

At the end of the day, for me personally, most of these shots will just go onto facebook and instagram and text messaging to family/friends. I have a nice DSLR and lenses for serious pics but for 99% of the stuff I shoot, the phone is quick, easy and produces perfectly satisfactory results.

Uggh pre-ordered 128 gig 6p Aluminum. But just came across these 2 videos of Z5p

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XgzQcwaHEg (IS OFF)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7JNUZEvd_A (IS ON)

I take more photos than videos and I am now really torn between 6p and z5p. Both have brilliant battery life. 6p has dev and OS upgrade benefits. But z5p looks like it might have better camera. I really hope in terms of pictures the 6p is same level as z5p (if I am not wrong the IS of z5p is software based).

Coming from a droid turbo user both the devices will be a massive massive upgrade for the camera.
[Nexus 6P General] Skitals:
That is almost entirely EIS, not OIS. N6P has the same EIS provided by the 810.
[Nexus 6P General] marc.ientilucci:
Coming from the Nexus 6, the OIS was not very well implemented - also photojojo, or any other magenetic lenses, don't work with OIS.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
6p took a slight hit on video, but Google said they were working on the algorithms. A little improvement here and it should match the z5p.

They are pretty close now. I can't imagine the z would be cheaper.
[Nexus 6P General] gauravahluwalia:
Yes but sony still seems do have done a very good job with the camera. Hopefully we have some full reviews out soon.

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 AM ----------

tbh the price is not too much of a big deal for me as I usually upgrade once in 2 years or so. I would rather have something that's on the top for now than have something that's already in a way 'outdated' (something I have faced with my previous 2 choices of going with droid turbo and HTC m8 earlier).

Both the cases the camera was the biggest source of my disappointment and I don't want the same to be repeated.

Hopefully the reviews of 6p are out soon. Also, I would probably be using the manual camera app than the google camera app as it has quite low features.

I think DXOMARK are correct in their statement of the Nexus 6p having the best performing low light performance on a smartphone....

Even on this screenshot from a video, its clearly noticeable!

This is not a still photo already taken, this is of the live camera app.

& to think this is without a flash or light turned on!

Its quite remarkable!
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The only thing the S6 has going for it is the camera, I'm sad to leave it behind. I can't wait to get back to a Nexus device though either, hate Touchwiz.
[Nexus 6P General] Nitemare3219:
We'll see. Nexus cameras have always been hyped up and a huge let-down. The G4 sensor/OIS implementation/software has been the best lowlight as of yet. Without OIS, the 6P is going to really struggle.
[Nexus 6P General] chrisjcks:
So you don't trust Dxomark?

These guys know really do know what they're doing.
[Nexus 6P General] ivtec07:
Exactly. That plus a beautiful display. Hopefully since the 6P has a current gen Samsung display, we won't be missing out on much.

Is it just me or did that NYC skyline at sunset picture look just straight up bad. Look at the freedom tower, it's not clear at all. This shot was taken by Google as well, which chose the best pictures, probably out of hundreds.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Yeah, I'm not convinced by the Google pics quality. I also find the fact the sensor is "only" 12mp disappointing. The pics lack detail somewhat I think.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Smart phone cameras will always disappoint - compared to a real camera.

The limitations of the form factor will only allow the cameras to get good to a point, and that point will always be below a device dedicated to the one purpose.

But as they say - the best camera you can have is the one you have in your hand when you need to take a shot. Any camera is useless if ya don't have it available for the shot you want to take.
[Nexus 6P General] mke1973:
In addition to the points you've raised, most of us need to realize that the beta testers out taking these pre-release photos tend to be employees, most of whom, like me, are amateur photographers who use auto settings. Put a great semi-professional camera in the same hands and you might see terrible shots taken simply on auto modes. The pictures aren't just a reflection of the camera quality, but also of the photographer.
