Can anyone please explain why the Sensation has a lower framerate when in camera mode (not shooting, just panning around) than say a Galaxy S2?
I had a GS2 for testing a few days and it's amazing how it maintains high FPS (perfect fluid panning motion) even in low light conditions. The Sensation can't do that, it turns almost into a slideshow...
I noticed the CM7 AOSP camera does a better job than stock/amaze mod, but it's still not 100% fluid.
I'm not expecting RED quality when shooting video, but the differences are quite visible between phones nowadays.
Thanks!
I would say that it the app. Because I bought anther camera app, and the FPS is much better. It still lags a bit, but not as much as the stock one.
so i've been toying with my note edge a little, and as i own a note II i decided to place them together and
check out the differences in the camera viewfinder. at first i launched the rear facing camera, and well..
some differences, but all in all both seem to work great. i did however notice something when i launched the
front facing camera. if the regular selfie mode is activated on the note 4 / note edge, the viewfinder gets REALLY choppy.
all movement is also easier blurred. i tested this by making some minor movements with my phone while taking a few
photos, and sure enough, they ended up being really blurred.
i could literally nearly write alphabets with my fingers if i did it fast enough, that's how laggy the movement was.
i have seen several reviews on youtube where this problem occur, even though most reviewers usually don't
pay that much attention to it. as for me, i find it really annoying. i have to keep the phone extremely still to get sharp shots
due to this viewfinder blur/lag issue.
if i activated the wide angle selfie mode, the viewfinder had normal smooth motion and the photos taken were
sharp and crisp, even if i did some elaborate shaking with my hand while shooting.
i paid a lot of money for this device, which makes the disappointment even bigger knowing people buying phones
at half the price still has a better working front facing camera than i do. sure, it does work and it takes great video and / or pictures..
but this doesn't make it flawless. why the normal selfie mode is so choppy and laggy i do not know. pretty surprised this hasn't been fixed,
as i have noticed several others with the same problem.
how about you? is your front facing camera also making the viewfinder seem laggy / choppy in selfie mode, compared to the wide angle selfie mode?
i'd love to hear your opinions on this. :good:

hi there !
i had a bit choppy main camera, it doesn't bother when taking photos but it shows up when i play recorded videos
hey guys, today i tried using the slowmotion mode in the camera, and before you start recording the camera show good details but after you start recording the detail drops a lot, its like 360p or 480p....the resolution in fact is 720p but it doesn't look like it at all....is this how it supposed to be??
I've been wondering this as well. The slow-mo function on my Z3C was really crisp and miles better than what the S6 produces. Really weird, since the S6 camera beats it hands down in just about every other sense...
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 Google Pixel XL 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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So far I'm highly impressed with the video quality. Comparing the 4k to Samsung for instance they both take really good quality videos. (and huge videos). But the fact that the Image Stabilization on this blows away the competition and it's SOFTWARE based is INSANE. One of the first things I did after I got the phone set up was to walk upstairs while filming 4k and then quickly moving back down them and the optical stabilization (although it gets slightly bumpy on the way down from how fast I was moving) it was the best I've ever seen on any phone.

Video in low light is practically useless with so much noise

I have not had any halo effect, seems like I am in the minority
This is a video of Metallica Concert in San Juan, PR, 10/26/16. The video is supposed to be 4k but only shows up at youtube as a 1080p, not sure why.

why 6p video quality in low light is better than pixel?

Video quality in 4K with anything other than direct sunlight is pretty disappointing.

When you go indoors the quality goes down tremendously.
Here is a quick comparison I did between the Pixel XL and the Nexus 6:
Nexus 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWhoCGFh_JA
Pixel XL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1dwmw33M98
The desk area looks fine, but looking around the room the quality is horrible.
Sorry to link to reddit, but I mainly post on reddit.
I also made a comparison of the videos in low light. Here is the thread if you guys are interested:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...eo_quality_is/
I just feel like the more information out there on this issue the better.
So far in test videos the mic sounds really muffled.

What were the settings on both cameras for each video?
Took a video at night low light conditions
Looks like a white bug on the video .
But it's just noise from the camera not a bug.
Tried again Dave enjoy bug thinking about getting unit replaced.
Has anyone else noticed this effect?
It bounces stuff on screen when I'm recording.
My wife's low light video (S8 Plus) and daughters 7 Plus) crap on my Pixel XL.
Guys, is anybody annoyed with the twitchy autofocus? I was shooting on S7, ois was not comparable with Pixel's eis, but autofocus was 100% accurate and lightning fast, you won't be able to notice it working. What's wrong with Pixel's AF? Is it curable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
I came from a Nexus 6P and the video on the latter was just brilliant!!! Specifically to low light video, it was crystal clear!!! I do a lot of metal shows records and this is very big for me...
The minute I got the XL, tried a low light video record, wow, what a disappointment!!! The video in low light and even in mid light, has a sort of smudge, like grey halo or if lens are not clean up and adding to that there's a lot of noise in the video. I did not record anything from concerts, but I'm very apprehensive... I did not expected this... not after having a 6P and knowing that this phone is one year more recent than the 6P.

I just saw this and this is the exact problem that I experience when recording in low light!!!
I also learned on google products forums, that using a 3rd party app to record video, using a different ratio/resolution can help a lot!!!
For instance, with Open Camera, if recording a video in 1440x1080 resolution (it stays at a 4:3 ratio, the same aspect when taking a photo at 12.3 MPixel) then the recording is so much better!!! The bad of Google Camera is that it's not possible to change in between many video recording resolutions. Also, in Google Camera, 4K video recording is a little better than 1080p, because it doesn't have the grey/smudge halo.
If only knew this and my 6P didn't had the battery shutoff problem, I wouldn't never get a XL !!!!
The video recording is pretty good, I usually record at 720p60 and even though it's not the sharpest video I've ever seen, it's decent.
Though at 4K it looks great, but I don't see a big improvement from the Nexus 5X which I come from.
I have watch a lot of videos recorded by Oneplus 6 and I have notice a very dusturbing thing that isnt on previous models, as long as the camera is still the picture is really sharp but when moving everything in the picture gets blurry, It isnt sharp at all.... Why? And can it be fixed?
I dont know if there is something with the autofocus, because it is like it loose the focus all the time.
Here is an example(the problem is much easier to see on a larger screen, montior, tv)
