[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] z06mike:
I had the Note 3 and 4. The Note 3's camera is a joke compared to the 6p. While the 4 fairs a little better, the 6p is miles ahead in low light.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] guruhiten:
I don't often use the camera in low light situations, so I can't really offer any arguments against that, but as far as fast motion/moving objects and daylight photos go, the Note 3 is superior (imho). Too often than not the 6p camera blurs my photos, I have to take several shots to be sure I can get a decent image.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] z06mike:
Are you talking about movement in low light or daylight? Do you have HDR set to ON as opposed to Auto?

4:3 has a far greater all round field of view. 16:9 crops a lot of the ":3" to make the image look closer. I've posted some pics a few messages back, have a look.

My rule is anything cinematic, e.g. landscape - 16:9

Most other stuff e.g. people, objects - 4:3

This is my first picture with this phone.. I took it with the selfie cam and the settings are stock, or how u say it in English.. Nothing is changed, just out of the box.

In darker situations the camera is excellent, in daylight my S6 is at least good as P6. But love this phone ?

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] bobwonderful:
I came from a Samsung S4. I've been hesitating upgrading as the phone was fast and I could continue to upgrade to the latest/greatest Android and camera pics were great in bright light. I used DSLR Camera app 2.8.5 and that did a decent job. I debated on going to the S6 or S6 Edge+ or to the Nexus 6P as the major upgrade would be the camera. I've read many of the reviews between the S6/edge and 6P and decided it wouldn't make that much difference especially as a daily portable camera. What I have realized is that the optical image stabilization system is not there, therefore the pictures may be blurry at low light. Bummer, because this is where it really counts as you can capture pictures in bright light without blur easily. The low light sensor on the camera is probably the best around, so you can capture great pictures even at low light, if you have a tripod or a really steady hand. I'm trying out a new camera app called Manual Camera that seems to have some features which allow for really quick shots and much more granular control over the shutter speed and ISO levels. Over all I'm very satisfied with the pictures it's taken, however haven't had the time to really test it out.

16x9 ratio

You can always change to 16x9 ratio but it'll lower the megapixel from 12.2 to 8.3. Not much difference if you're not printing them out on a letter size photo paper. Check it out under setting and see if the quality to you is that drastic difference.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] ultyrunner:
You know that, provided you're ok with a bit lower resolution, you can set your pics to be 16x9, right?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] CandyAndy:

I don't take many close-up pictures, but I do scan QR codes and bar codes quite a lot for various apps (e.g., Package Buddy, MyFitnessPal). I have noticed that it takes much longer for it to focus and get a good reading than it did on my previous camera, a Galaxy Note II. The GNote2 would focus on and read QR codes almost instantaneously. The Nexus 6P requires several seconds of positioning the phone back and forth and just so, before it will get a good reading.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] ipmanwck:

Very impressed with the camera! Here's two shots I took downtown at night.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] padde0711:
I like the quality of outdoor shots, very nice.

HDR works well and is subtle. Would be nice to have a setting to make it less subtle sometimes.

Low-light performance is good but not extremely special or anything. Denoising could actually be improved to make it less apparent on first glance, as Sony does it (somehow they manage to get rid of the color variance of the noise, which goes a long way in hiding the noise when you look at the images resized to low resolution).

One major issue I found: Somehow the camera chooses too long exposure times for my taste. Out of 50 images ~10 had really a lot of motion blur. And the standard camera app gives no control over this.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] mihovil13:
It's not a too long exposure, it's just that there is no stabilization.

Anything under 1/40 will cause visible motion blur, try putting a timer on your shots cause pressing the shutter button causes a "shake" and it's the 99% source of photography motion blurs around the world
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] BankZZ:

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] jeffreynew23:
You may be disappointed. I am coming from a Note 4 and Note 5 and I struggle to take pictures at times with my 6p of my daughter. The images tend to come out blurry sometimes. It was easier on my Note 5 to get a solid image when she was moving. I don't know why that is. That just my experience though.

I live on the coast. Ocean, waterways, marshes, lot's of green spaces. I've always taken a lot of panoramic pictures. The panorama pictures are horrible. All other parts of the camera I give an 8+. The pictures are unusable. So bad that I literally am not sure about getting another Nexus. No response whatsoever from the company on what should be a doable software fix. Makes me worried that they don't give a crap about fixing major bugs.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] siveZ:
Is it just me or they've broken auto HDR+ detection in Google Camera 3.2? It is now always enabled for me until I shake the camera a lot. That frustrates me, HDR+ previously was only kicking in when appropriate - in low light or against the lighting source.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] marko82marko:
Unfortunately it's not just you [emoji36]

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] siveZ:
This is the very first time I had to revert the app and disable auto-update. Camera 3.1 auto HDR+ works just great. I also understood the logic of (allegedly bugged) auto HDR+ - it kicks in once camera got the focus, taking the laser one into account you have very little time until HDR+ gets enabled. I posted feedback via the app as well as left a review on the Play Store page. I'm hoping it's just an oversight and is not an intended change, otherwise I don't want to get a Nexus again.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Ghisy:
I'm wondering the same thing. I compared with my Nexus 6 and the older device focuses on macro shots the way it should. The 6P is on focus for a second but goes back out of focus almost right away. A little annoying.

Is this software or hardware?

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
I've found one pet peeve about this camera. It doesn't do well with shadows. I've taken a numbers of pictures where the picture is unnecessarily dark in certain areas of the photo. If it's a bright sunny day but light isn't hitting a particular part of a scene forget it. It makes it even darker. Kind of getting annoying. HDR+ doesn't help and neither does any other modes. I think it is a hardware limitation.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] feis:
6p is known to produce a bit darker pictures compared to competition, but they are more realistic looking. And no, its not hardware limitation and it was intended this way, many phones use same camera module as 6p(one example would be htc 10) and while they produce brighter pictures, quality and dynamic range fails compared to 6p.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
It's not that the picture is a bit darker. It's that it creates dark shadows that aren't there to the naked eye. ie. If I take a picture with trees in the background. Anything under the canopy of the branches is just black with in actuality there are objects under it that are clearly visible. The rest of the photo is fine.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] glevitan:

Dont understand how would anyone in their right mind use anything but google camera on this phone, since its the only app with hdr+ working. It makes pictures so damn better, especially in difficult conditions and lowlight
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Seko91:
I can prove you wrong :)

Though this is a special case in extreme low light. I used a tripod for this scene and stacked 3 images each to get a cleaner image with less noise. HDR+ was ON in Google Camera.

You can clearly see that the picture taken with Pro Shot has way more details in the shadows and is brighter overall.

But you are right, on a daily basis, you can't beat Google Camera with its quite superb processing! Wished they'd give us manual controls, such as ISO, shutter speed up to 30 seconds, etc. ... But it will never happen since the Google team never really cares about these things like giving us more and more features over time. Google Camera doesn't even support 1080p 60p recording...lol

Some ROMs are experiencing this issue, and the recommended fix is to flash the stock vendor image overtop of whatever one your currently running. Since I don't know what android version or ROM you're running, you can go to androidfilehost.com and search for *.img (where * is the version of android you're running - like nmf26f.img) and it'll pop up the vendor image for the verison you have.
