[Honor 8 Real Life Review] ibilln:
Did you use any special settings? HDR? Thx

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

So none of these photos are HDR? thx
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] eksasol:
I find HDR pictures aren't any better than regular photos, because the second camera improves the dynamic, but I still think they can improve HDR mode to reduce sky exposures.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
I find HDR best used when it's lowlight.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Erik1974:
I didn't use HDR for those pictures.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Pictures are awesome even without HDR. Superb.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Magic2010:
One more..
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Crimac95:
Hdr would have been nice here imo
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Awesoome... Thanks guys for posting your stuff. :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] LateForDinner:
Not bad for a quick shot while running.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Ok

I'll give it 9/10 for photos
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
The dual camera setup on the Honor 8 is more or less the same as that on the P9 without the Leica branding.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
But on honor 8's stock camera app, you can't use the monochrome lens alone like the p9 :(
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
But you can alter the picture taken afterwards.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Yes, but no RAW mode in stock camera app
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
It's a shame that Huawei didn't include that option in their camera app too.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Yeah, thankfully it is possible with 3rd party apps like Google camera
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
Do 3rd party camera apps work on the Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Yes, they do
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
I'm really surprised about that. I figured that the dual camera system would mess things up.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
No, they can only use the RGB sensor.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
Interesting so in order to use the dual camera system at the same time, the device has to use the stock camera app that is provided with the device. Otherwise it defaults to using the color sensor only.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Exactly :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
Does the camera app supplied by Huawei take better pictures than 3rd party camera apps?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
Absolutely yes, since it is optimized for it.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] DarkGuyver:
I expected as much but thanks for confirming my suspicions.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] CronaMell:
I've had honor 8 for two months, so if you still have questions, just ask
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
Hey!

So couldn't help but notice you've got a little one. What's the shutter speed like for catching moments with your kid? I've got 3 you see so I would say about 95% of the photo's I take on my phone are of them, and about 80% indoors. 4 years ago I bought the HTC One because it looked like the king for indoor/family pics. So far it looks like the Honor 8 smashes the M7 out of the water but actually shutter speed is very important to me....

Anyone else with kids feel free to let me know your experience too. Cheers!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
Anyone able to compare the Honor 8 Camera to the LG G3?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] b1tt1:
This info has been on other threads, but since Emui5 is now starting to roll out, I'll post it here as well:

In Emui5 the stock camera app lets you to take raw+jpeg in pro photo mode. And the user interface of the app is better (imo) as well.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] eksasol:
I owned both phones and the V10. Honor 8 is better than both. V10's HDR mode is terrible, Honor 8 with the secondary camera improves the dynamic so it doesn't need to use HDR mode.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
Yeh that's what I was hoping.

What's the actual shutter speed like on it? Am I going to struggle to catch pics of my fidgety kids for example?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] eksasol:
It have a pro-mode that let you adjust the shutter speed. I set "holding the fingerprint scanner button" to turn open the camera app, so you can take photos quickly.

The only issue you might have is the lack of image stabilization when taking photos with shaky hands.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
What about low light performance
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] eksasol:
It's decent, but it's hampered by lacking OIS, which help alot in low light situation. The sensor has 1.25micron pixel size so it does do a decent job, but nowhere as good as the 1.55micron sensor on the Nexus 6P and Pixel.

The pro-mode helps because you can adjust the shutter speed, but I find the layout to be so bad on EMUI 4.1 that it makes it useless, and it have strange behavior that doesn't work correctly like the LG V10. Maybe it's improved on EMUI 5, the layout looks better at least.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mejgs:
Today I made a comparison between Honor 8 and my old Galaxy Alpha. Photos are nowhere near as detailed as those taken with Alpha, especially close-ups... Don't get me wrong, camera is pretty good but....
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
I'll be able to let people know how the camera compares to the HTC One (M7), Lenovo K3 Note and LG G3 very soon. My new shiny phone is on it's way to me today!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] spix123:
Let's see some proof :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
Ok so first impressions right now are that this is the best camera on any of the phones I have owned. Smashes the old HTC One M7 and the LG G3. Seriously great stuff!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] ceroglu:
I can say that pictures are much better than LG G4 that I owned before and I can even say it is on par if not better than LG V20 which I used for about 3 weeks.

Try out the wide aperture option while taking pictures.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] krispy321:
Its much better than lg g3, but struggles in low light shots
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mejgs:
Ok, i will upload a few pictures later today. I was also a little bit surprised ;)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] horsetastic:
Doesn't seem to struggle in low light at all for me!
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mejgs:
I downgraded to MM because it seems to be smoother than Nougat, at least in my case, and also bug free. I can also confirm that photos look a little bit sharper than in 7.0 update.

Just the kitten. With little editing in original gallery Photo editor. Im really satisfied about the camera depth effect
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] TorpedoGirl:
I'm in love with this camera, it's amazing. I got some pretty nice shots in these days, a sample can be found here.

EDIT: another one.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Tomar777:
very nice cam for the price. You can check photos on my flickr account

Manual focus by GEORGE GEORGIOU, on Flickr
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] tboy2000:
What about the lack of OIS? I really want to buy this phone for my mother but i am worried with the lack of OIS her photos/videos will become blurry if she doesn't hold it steady enough. Is this a valid concern? Is this an issue?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Tomar777:
The auto mode is pretty ok (point and shoot) but sometimes (i think in low lights conditions mostly) the moment you take the pic, a message appears after the click for half a second "please hold device steady to perfect the picture" so for older people this might be a no go, for example indoors with medium light.

Outside during the day it focuses pretty fast and you can do nothing wrong in auto mode.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] TorpedoGirl:
Another macro shot ;)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] faeArai:
I have had the LG V10 before that has a OIS. It is the best camera I've ever had. Best UI and best pictures. With the OIS you could even do long time exposure pictures with you hand.

I switched to the H8 after my screen had a strong ghosting. I must admit that without the OIS it's a different world and it feels like going back some years ago. This and the bad UI on Honor's photo app. Sure, the cam makes great pictures but not as good as with a OIS. And you need OIS when you go to 1/8 because it's getting dark.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] tboy2000:
So is OIS only really needed for night time shots? However during daylight photos are clear and not blurred?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] faizalotai:
It is needed for long shutter speed with hand hold captured.

With ois, you can achieved good crisp photos with 1/10 shutter speed with hand hold,me myself can do 1/8.

Without it you can never archived that and its required tripod.

Honor 8 Picture Quality

Guys check out GSMArena's photo comparisons. Honor 8 is quite bad in good light, bad light and even video is poor. I previously owned an Honor 8 and returned it due to the camera seeming like a sham. Compare it to the OP3T. OnePlus is miles better.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] mwatson:
I must have got incredibly lucky with my Honor 8. It takes amazing photos! There are many reviews online with good results.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Tomar777:
Same here. Im very happy with the photo quality for its money. I think its still the best camphone offer for the price.

I even read possitive reviews in photography sites about it.

Most sites say cam is good, some say not so. Best way is to see samples your self, and if you dont like em, ok buy something else.

The oneplus cam is good on daylight but i think in low light the honor wins.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] manu0888:
amazing
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] M1ck1:
Really good quality., there are phones with better camera, but the differences aren't that tangible
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] netvorCZEK:
Macro's photo are good, but other is miserable. Before I had LG G4 which makes much better photos.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] sltwp:
I attended Rammstein concert yesterday in Prague. The photo quality is good, with some bad photos here and there. Most photos were made in HDR mode. However, when recording video, the sound quality is horrible. You can't hear anything except for a grumbling noise. Friend next to me recorded with their iPhone 4 and he had clear sound. Not sure where the problem is. I will post a few videos to Video quality review sometime this week.

How my Honor 8 sees the stars, with a little help by Snapseed. I know that an elaborated photo is better than a complete stock one, but here there is no Photoshop. Only details from the sensor behind this magnificent screen

If you want here you have the original photo.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] b1tt1:
I got the 389 upgrade yesterday, so I'm able to test the new monochrome mode in the phone's camera software and compare it to the other modes. After initial tests, a couple of observations (sorry, no images yet):

- Yes, I too can confirm that the new monochrome mode really uses (only) the monochrome sensor

- Typically the new monochrome mode can achieve 1 stop difference in exposure (1 stop smaller ISO or shorter shutter speed)

- In high ISO situations, the 1 stop difference is really visible in picture quality. When I shot the same scene both in pro mode (dng+jpg), colour jpg in default mode and the new monochrome mode, all colour images used ISO 3200 and the monochrome ISO 1600. There was no way to bring the noise and sharpness of the colour images to the same level as the monochrome image. I used ND monochome filter of the phone's camera software, tried noise reduction and monochrome conversion in Lightroom (from the raw dng), but the lower ISO image of the new monochrome mode was always better. In good light (low ISO), the difference is much less noticeable.

- In good light I would still use the colour modes even if I wanted a b/w image, since that way there are more ways to tweak the monochrome conversion in Lightroom (or other software), i.e. use colour filters, bring up shadows etc. Of course for in-camera b/w images the new monochrome mode is ok.

- As a side note I noticed that in pro mode & dng+jpg it seems that the generated jpg does not use the monochrome sensor's information at all (which the normal colour shooting modes do). Or maybe the camera software is much more conservative in its processing in pro mode. Either way, in high ISO situations the pro mode produced inferior jpgs compared to "normal" colour modes (more noise, less detail). Even doing noise reduction etc. in Lightroom to the dng produced inferior results compared to jpg of the "normal" mode. This seems to suggest that in low light situations it's better to shoot in jpg than dng+jpg, because that way the camera software uses the monochrome sensor's data to enhance the image.

I heard that honor8 doesn't support optical anti-vibration

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

and doesn't support digital zoom either
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
Anti vibration and zoom are not good at all

But to avoid zooming I usually take high resolution pictures as

near as possible

And then after that edit the picture and crop it

It gives me almost always better picture regarding details after cropping

then if I would make i big zoom
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
But u will loose some pixels:rolleyes:
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] brljak83:
Yes, you do lose resolution width

But I find that better then to zoom..

Like when I am outside and want to zoom things far away the picture if

you zoom to much gets to blurry.. so I compensate it this way
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Yes both are not supported.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Isn't it optical zoom?

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] evilpaul13:
That post was 17 pages ago and from about 8 months ago... Yes, the Honor 8 can take 4K photographs and 1080p video.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] bshi:
The photo quality is amazing for me. It compares to my another phone zuk edge.

The prices was down when honor 9 was around.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Saeem:
4k photograph! Would you mind to let me know where it shows in the camera settings or maybe the phone box is written 4K photo?

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

That's what i also know. But he is saying we can ?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Can't find it too.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Saeem:
I believe it's only 1080p, that's why we cannot find :)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
I believe 4k photo is produced by taking a 8mp image
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] evilpaul13:
You can download the images posted in the thread (mine at least aren't resized if you follow the link) and check the resolutions.

Swipe from the right side of the screen to the left and this menu pops out.

2160x3840 is standard 4K resolution on PCs. So it's very slightly higher res than that, but still 16:9 and I don't feel like Googling at the moment. It's late here.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] nestojean:
Hello all, quick one guys, How do i take pictures in monochrome mode? can't seem to find where to toggle it on.

[Honor 8 Real Life Review] pijes:
Press the top button next to the wide aperture button then select mono mode?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
Maybe it's needed a mod like the one for fingerprint in other Honor/Huawei devices
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] b1tt1:
If I remember correctly, monochrome mode came in B389. It's available by swiping from the left (just like pro mode etc.)
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Saeem:
Do you mean a little modification on the camera app? If so then we would get better photos but it's not supposed to change the resolution of the camera. Isn't it?
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] joe2k01:
If you think that the camera is capable of 4k images but there's no option then the feature could be hidden
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Exactly.
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] Saeem:
Why would Honor in this world hide a ground breaking feature? They could sell a lot more devices just by saying 4k. It's not like i don't admit that the camera app could not process a 4k video or photo, it's just the camera that cannot shoot at 4k. If you have done rendering and things you already know that. ??
[Honor 8 Real Life Review] evilpaul13:
If you think the "take 4K photos feature" is hidden: You don't know what 4K is.

I included screenshots and explanations on the last page already.

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Honor 8 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

I am very impress by the selfie quality...it comes with some nice little neat features that I have come to enjoy....if you use snapchat camera, you will feel right at home. Honor is aiming to attract the "younger" generations and the selfie camera does JUST that. But hey, if you are not into smoothing out those wrinkles, shrinking your cheeks, making your eyes "pop" and detect your "good" side, a simple snap will be just fine.
