Just returned from a trip to Japan, took the risk of the P2XL being my primary camera. Did bring my SLR only with a Telephoto lense and GoPro for some stabilized videos.. other than those on selective days.. it was all the Pixel.

It was really fantastic experience. I have always found previous phone cam experience lacking and this is the first time I was happy with the output not having a SLR.

Used the Portait mode heaps not just for people but for food and selective closeups. Most surprising was the quality of the front (selfie) camera. Don't much selfies period and was able to use it on occasions to get some great shots.

Posting some samples below.. not touched up at all and except for the first one that was rotated slightly and cropped. Really shows the hardware and software to maximize it.

The double click on power button(to start the camera even when locked) was so fast to get a shot off and almost never missed a quick snap (combined with the volume down as shutter button).

Portrait mode was mostly great.. but could use some work in selective adjustment. Being able to keep it at default would be good as well.

The hand turn/motion camera swap was nice and intuitive as well as quick but didn't always work depending on angle of the phone.

In my case. I've been using my phone as main camera for trips since the Nexus 5 (2013).

With this phone I've stopped using cameras. (Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 weren't good enough, specially in low light photos).

I've only regretted doing this once, in one trip to Paris......when I switched from Nexus 5 (2013) to Z5 Compact. Night and low light photos were ugly, close-ups were blurry...it was a failure...the only advantage of that Sony phone camera was the wide angle.

So I came back to the Nexus with the 5X, then the 6P and now I'm rocking the Pixel 2.

HDR+ quality has been improving slightly since the 5. Photo quality improved greatly from the 5 to the 5X because of the MP. Minimum focus distance improved a bit from the 6P to Pixel 2 and close-ups are a bit better now.

What improved the most is camera speed, much better in the Pixel and Pixel 2 compared to the 5X/6P camera.

If you always want to maximize your photo quality I recommend using HDR+ Enhanced. Take a bit more to take a photo, but will always maximize details, specially in out of focus areas.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I made the same mistake by taking my Sony Z3 Compact to Brazil as my only camera. Even during the day, the details of the beautiful scenery was lost due to the camera's overly aggressive post processing. Leaves on trees turned until a splotchy oil painting looking mess. My Honor 8 at half the price of the Sony was a huge step up. But now that I have the pixel 2, the only situation I feel it can't handle is fast moving subjects in low light situations. Things start to get blurry then, but that's just a function of the small sensor vs a dedicated camera.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sychen79:
I've had N5 (as well as GN and N1) as well.. as good as the camera was(for its time) still not something I would use in replacement of a DSLR even for most things. The points you said is why, Min focus distance/slow to start camera/Dynamic Range as well as the ability to get a small DoF. This is the first phone that can do all that adequately, Not even the iphoneX (wife's)can match it.

Yes the DoF is a software trick but get the effect and shot I want in most cases and happy to run with its limitations in exchange for not carrying an extra 5-10Kgs all day/trip.

Really really late replying to this, but did you by any chance have a clear case on one of the ones with the round rings around the flash and camera? The cheap cases online have this effect when the flash is fired. Side note, flash is mostly best turned off on the pixel 2

Hello Team,

What are our options for long exposure captures with these phones? I went through the menus and it appears there isn't any options for it. If like to take waterfall and surf pictures and having this would be letter cool. Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dehnhaide:
Well... Welcome to the club if dissatisfaction! Unfortunately Google has decided to stop one step shorter from creating a super camera. Thus in doing so they completely left out any poweruser features like aperture or time priority. In short, no you cannot do that.

What's even more sad with Android world (compared to what one would get as paid option on iOS) is that there are extremely few real, serious camera alternatives to the one already embedded by the OEMs. 99.9% are pure junk from no matter what perspective.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] skip24ftlb:
I remember reading that Nokia is releasing an updated Lumia app that made the Nokia 1080 so versatile and powerful.

Yeah, the sky is intentionally overexposed to bring out some more detail in the foreground, but it has the unintended consequence of making the photo a bit more dramatic.

My Pixel 2 should be with me in a couple of days, what's the camera app like? I'm coming from a LG G5 that had an advanced mode giving ISO, shutter speed and exposure settings, does it have that?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I must admit that I'm surprised you would purchase this phone without knowing this already, but it does not come with a native pro mode or manual controls. A third party app will be needed if you want that level of control. But the auto mode is the best you'll find.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3dd1:
Having been away from a Google phone since my Nexus 4, I longed for quick updates again plus I had read that it has one of if not the best camera. Although auto settings are great, when in good light I love to turn the shutter speed down for high speed pictures such as my kids on a swing or roundabout.

Do you have an app you'd recommend for manual settings, I see Camera zoom FX has them.

Always take full resolution photos in 4:3 mode and crop as needed afterward. Typically, I only crop to 16:9 for a landscape shot.

Edit:

I'd like to clarify that when I say landscape, I am referring to the scenery and not the orientation of the camera.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I've been using 16:9 since Nexus 5.

In Pixel 2 recently i tried to take a few photos in 4:3 and crop to 16:9 and compare with originals 16:9, quality (when zooming in) was the same. So I'll keep using 16:9, I don't have time to crop pictures and I want to see the full 16:9 picture before taking it.

Portraits are better in 4:3 (when looked in horizontal TV's / Monitors).

I'd like to setup 16:9 for landscape photos, and 4:3 for portrait.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_0b:
So I got a new Z5 compact phone, and it has android 5.1.1. I've been "using" it for 3 weeks now. It lasted a week on the first charge, and two weeks on the second. I am not really using it, it just stays in my pocket. I have listened about 3h of music and 10min of facebook, and shoot couple of pictures in this past 3 weeks. So I am satisfied by the battery. The only problem I think I have is when I call the screen turns off and I need to press the power button to be able to quit the call. I have not had this problem with my tipo, it turns off the screen only when the phone is near my ear.

So in short I am kinda satisfied by how it is now. So I don't know if updating will make it better or worse.

Also if updating should I just update through my phone, since it is showing me the update( and can't get ride of it :rolleyes:) or through a pc?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novahob:
In simple terms, from my experience.....

To update - security patches and nougat has a lot more functionally which I found very useful.

Not to update - battery life! It's drastically different. I used to get 2 days but now only a day with between 2 and 2.5hrs screen on time. Standby time not that good either.

Depends what you value [emoji6]
