Share pictures taken with your Pixel 4 XL - Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

It looks like we don't have a thread to share pictures taken with the awesome camera on this phone, so I'll kick it off with some Astro Mode shots

I have a feeling there will be a lot of astrophotography shots here lol. My tripod is broken, waiting for a new one. Going to Niagara falls next month, it'll come in handy.

Smile detection in camera. Genius!

Anybody else using this feature? I didn't know it existed until I was poking around the menu in camera last night. It basically will detect faces and then wait until the person smiles to take a picture. You don't have to press anything or do anything, makes taking portraits and pictures of people dead simple and with the fast shutter makes capturing those rare smiles much easier. Love it. THIS is what HTC needs to do more of.

I saw this feature, but haven't tried it yet. I've actually been using Burst Mode in these situations...I figure if I take 20 back-to-back pictures, at least one of them will come out right

Same here was using best shot/burst mode but the cool thing with this is the camera shutter is triggered by a smile so you don't have to press the screen which in turn gets clearer pictures because the phone can be steady. Great for unattended pictures too, just set phone up, run into shot and smile. Done.

I tried it, RARELY works. My gf had smile for damn near 3 mins before the phone finally snapped the photo, smh.

So sometimes I'm a bit dyslexic and I thought that read "makes taking portraits and pictures of dead people simple"
But anyway, does it work with multiple people?

Mine works well, I just pointed it ay my wife, she asked what I was doing, I said nothing, then she smiled and it snapped a pic. Then she tried not to smile, but when she did it snapped another.

Nexus 5 camera vs old school

So how does our camera compare to a old school one in the late 90s? In high school my sister used to be in photography and the pictures came out great.

Not even a comparison... 90s stuff just can't compete.

Granted camera's itself is good because of the lens type and aperture of the camera
you're comparing a mobile device's camera to a full sized camera
its like comparing a mini van and a truck
but for the specific question id say the Nexus 5's camera is better than that 90's piece of ****

Are we talking SLR or point and shoot? An SLR is going to kick the N5's ass.
Also, why are we comparing the two?

So an slr is still going to beat the nexus 5 camera in every situation? And internet Connection is a little different then a camera comparison.

What exactly do you mean by an old school one from the 90s? Cell phone cameras have come a long way, no doubt but a 8MP camera is still not going to produce a picture that's as detailed and crisp as a DSLR camera. You might not be able to notice the difference on a small screen but try zooming in to a picture and you'll notice the difference
Wasn't everyone using film in the 90s? Better than a phone camera today if exposed correctly.

Digital in the 90's was a novelty. The cameras used a floppy disk! Not sure what the point of this thread is.

That's what i'm thinking too. It has been cloudy here and I haven't been able to get a good balanced picture of the landscape and sky. It looks like it can handle clear sky pretty well. Would htc be able to really fix that over a software update though? or is it more of a hardware thing. I really don't mind the 4mp camera, it picks up decent enough detail, for my needs anyway. Really don't like the exposure issue or lack of dynamic range i'm seeing though.
Haven't really messed with settings yet.

The shots were probably sharper with the 16mp vs 12mp but the S7 is better in nearly every other aspect. But yea I do get what you're saying
There's parts of me that liked the Note 5 camera better as well. But one thing I will say is, the auto focus on this phone if freaking insane. It's faster than a lot of DSLR'S I've used.
I got the note 5 last week and will also have to agree that the over all picture is better but low light and auto focus is going to the s7 edge. Both great phones. I'll be holding on to these for a while. I know the note 7 is coming in a few weeks and I could still take it back and wait but the note 5 has full root and there is no guarantee that the 7 will ever get it at lease for tmo. Awesome cameras on both, oh and the note 4 also still has a great camera.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Google Pixel 2 XL come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not taken by the "average consumer" but I have to admit, these picks are AMAZING!!! Cant wait to have my 2XL in hand to test it out! https://9to5google.com/2017/10/07/google-pixel-2-photos-videos-samples-gallery/
Updated link with Full Res Pics

Sure, they're nice photos, but if you download them and view them on a PC with a proper monitor you might be disappointed. They're not sharp or detailed, at least not compared to N6P pictures.
Are they showing being uploaded a full res?
Update:
Not sure which ones you were referring to, but these are the full res pics

Well of course there will be some twist to the camera. Once we here get them then, that can be discussed but, right now it seems a little early. I also really like pictures from the Nexus 6P the camera on that phone was amazing and can even outperform touted smartphone camera at times.
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA Labs
Yeh, they are not full res and when you reduce image size they will sharpen some, sometimes too much. As a photographer and Photoshop user don't trust or judge anything other than what you capture and display yourself.
Make sure your monitor is calibrated also.

Dunno what you're talking about, my PC is hooked up to my calibrated 50 inch Pioneer Kuro Elite and they look sharp and detailed. They're not from a full frame mirror less or DSLR.

It's very short. I kept the default HDH+ on option and after taking a pic it's done processing in maybe a second. Haven't done multiple back to back shots though. It's really good at one and done.

Anyone notice strange fluctuations in light when using Slo-Motion at 240fps? I mean it looks like the light is actually rolling ... I can't figure it out!! This is my 2nd XL 2 because of an RMA exchange and I don't remember trying it out on the first phone I had.. I'll try to get a video uploaded to show it..
