Thank you for watching!

[@williamsolis1]

I was legit saying "I wish they gave this phone to a pro photographer to see what it can do" Literally answered my prayers

[@benhumphreys1871]

@Tweed Penguin Redditor moment

[@stevenboesky6692]

@Tweed Penguinnot a pro? She's very successful as a wedding photographer, KZbinr, and on all social because of the quality of her work. And she supports herself with her photography. I think that qualifies her as a professional. Let's see some of your work..

[@iainm1594]

@tweed penguin, if you are paid for your work you are a pro; why do people find that such a difficult concept. Nothing about the term pro refers to quality but if you are being paid then people must value the work. What I’ve seen on her KZbin channel is extremely good. As someone else said, let’s see your work. It’s very easy to criticise from behind your computer keyboard so put your money where your mouth is.

[@johnjonz2472]

I'd trust what she has to say about this camera over most tech reviews. It's a no brainer

[@juliatrotti]

Haha yess thank you!

[@justinballa]

Finally a real camera review with real life situations compared to the weird 'reviews' by other KZbinrs focusing on situations which mean nothing to the average user meaning 99% of us. My phone will be delivered this week. Pixel 6 Pro. Thank you!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@alcylon]

totally agree 😀

[@projectmudi]

Love how in-depth your review was for this! Thank you for going into so much detail and really testing out the camera functionality of the pixel 6 pro

[@tazzyreign2629]

Even if someone doesn't have interest in photography, from these review you teach so much about capturing such amazing shots by explaing how to frame, how adjust exposure, when to zoom and a lot more. Love the reviews!

[@cafekyoushitsu]

Excellent review! Best in-depth review of the camera I've seen thus far! Thank you!

[@benleonheart]

You're literally one of my favorite people to go to when it comes to camera reviews. Great job, Julia!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!

[@mrtech2259]

I just wanna say that you did an amazing job presenting all the bells and whistles of the pixel 6 pro camera. Beautiful video.

[@mmrichards5]

I always look forward to your pixel reviews! Great work!!

Great review as always! Good job 👏 The Pixel photos look really good, I like the skin tones.

[@SSB]

Thank you Julia for your work. I have pre-ordered the pro and wait time is killing me can't wait to try out the camera

[@ingridkollmer6102]

Great review with a beautiful model! so well done!Thank you!

[@StormyP101]

Thank you Julia! Love your reviews.

[@aci25tv]

I always like to come to your review because you, as a professional photographer, have a better perspective than a tech dude that just wants to make a quick 6 minutes video. Thank you for making this video. I appreciate your time in making this review.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

[@HassanRaashid]

Omg literally

[@zahid802]

Where from u got this model

[@abeeshake96]

Thank you for providing a clear review of the camera. The amount of absolute dropkicks who know nothing about photography using this phone and saying its photos are bad had me getting annoyed.

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Same

[@jefforz807]

Thank you for such a great review! 👍 So refreshing compared to other Pixel 6 Pro camera reviews. Love the natural rendering straight out of this phone.

[@SunshineVocals]

Best demonstration of the quality of this camera and it's all amazing. Video is also not given the just that this video does, the improvements are absolutely great.

[@YannR34]

Great review, thanks. The night view on the bay is amazing.

[@heathernoland9587]

Love this review! The skin tones on you and the model came out real well. You can definitely tell the difference when the camera man is filming and you have the pixel to the corner right. I did find the background, at times, fighting with you and the model when it came to contrast making you both blend in. Otherwise loved it!

[@TimLucasdesign]

Great review, and what a backdrop Sydney makes! ❤ Keep up the good work.

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Julia 👋 - Excellent work by you & Heidi. Always enjoy your 📸 📷 😃

[@Danieltrotti]

Great review Julz! Outstanding phone, lots of features. Thank you hija.😀📱

[@deepcoolclear]

Always trust your reviews - very practical and helpful commentary and photos

[@777timsmith]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Hope you're doing great

[@antozgeo5598]

Appreciate your efforts. Such a great video!!

[@superg50zero32]

Finally a review from someone that knows how to use a camera. Very impressive photos form the pixels 6.

[@Overlord1241]

This review is very insightful, amazing review!

[@MR0B0T0]

I really liked how you superimposed the pixel 6 pro screen capture around 4:00. It's cool to be able to compare what your camera and the pixel 6 pro are seeing side by side.

[@geo230172]

Great review. You are the first reviewer I have seen on here who actually knows about photography and understands how to get the absolute best from this phone. Keep up the great work 👍

[@nepunsajjad1505]

Wow.... One of the best pixel review .... lots of love...good work!!!

[@BrendanGeels]

This is the best review of the Pixel 6's camera that I've been able to find!

[@IkesTechTalk]

not sure how I missed this, awesome camera review. Really enjoy looking at smartphone cameras from a real photographer's perspective

[@pspr33]

Great review. First time viewer of your channel 😀

[@mikefr12]

Good to watch this review. The camera is an important tool for me. I am convinced this to be my next phone purchase. Nice to see it in action in my Sydney backyard 😊

[@brucehessenthaler3173]

Awesome review Julia, really appreciate it! I have a Pixel 3XL and "love it" and can't wait to upgrade to the 6-Pro. Astro is what I'm more interested in and can't wait to experiment to explore the universe! ;-). Look forward to future postings from you.

[@engadgetnerd]

Thank you for doing this! Love your phone camera reviews! It always shows how many of photos these things are capable of...if we had your talent.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@wael-ahmad]

The best review of this phone I watched in terms of camera so far 👏

[@tedwarkentin2211]

I love your reviews! I actually have a Pixel 6 Pro on order due in next week!

[@OnlineLuc]

Well done! This was one of the best reviews I've come across. The way the information is delivered, filmed, edited. You've got a new subscriber from Canada. Keep it up. Now to receive my Pixel 6 Pro possibly tomorrow. :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much and enjoy your new phone!!

[@MrRiverwind]

Astrophoto time lapse!?....WOW, yours is the first review that mention this feature. Great video!. Thanks!.

[@maryannstatham5958]

Hello from Queensland! I've been watching this video before and after I got my pixel 6 pro😃 Thanks for this very informative video. All the best on your career.

[@BlackNess00]

I randomly stumbled upon this channel, OMG you're amazing, great review. I am more and more excited about this phone. Great Content ma'am. 😄😄

[@otavioalmeida3491]

Amazing video, as always! ✨✨

[@toukirkhan8442]

thanks, Julia, I like your reviews!

[@DoctorDevify]

This was such a lovely review!

[@limsokhorn7919]

Thanks a lot for your great work. I've watched many reviews of Pixel 6 pro's camera quality, and yours is the best with so much detail. You got my "Like", and "Sub"!

[@tsunarun]

👋👋👋👋👋 great review as always. Thank you for this moment with the pixel 6 pro 😁

[@shaqshuka8392]

Excellent review and great production. Thank you for the vid and review you've done the phone some real world justice instead of focusing on irrelvant tech specs or details which may differ from the competition. Things that ultimately do not matter! Now to look through the rest of your channel :) ps its a BRUSH Turkey haha

[@calebrasak6941]

Fantastic review! Cant wait for mine to come in!

[@ADZ8811]

I really love the how the pixel renders skin tones but it was making the models shirt too blue by bringing the highlights so low. Other wise fantastic imagine quaintly. The 4x zoom is would be so nice with a f2.8 lovely! Awesome camera review!

[@juliatrotti]

Yeah skin tones are great with the camera and thank you! For some context, the location we were shooting in was pretty blue in general due to it being quite shady and a super green park. The makeup artist I was working with had her iPhone to take behind the scene photos and in those pictures both mine and the model's white shirts were also turning out blue lol. I shared one of those behind the scene pics to my Instagram story today if you wanted to see.

[@krisdonnelly8122]

Love your pixel camera reviews 🙌

[@nguyenhuynhphuocthang8206]

Camera King is back

[@ToThePowerOfFour]

i always look forward to your pixel reviews! i'll be waiting for the pixel 7 one, because that's probably the phone i'll be upgrading to :) still enjoying my pixel 5!

[@theskgaming1181]

I Love to watching yours reviews and photography training and I hope I am become a nice photographer in future 😊

[@ElScientifico]

Just got my Pixel 6 Pro. Enjoyed your video!

[@justinbrown471]

Exceptional review. We are very lucky to have this objective review. Many thanks.

[@krajca666]

Finally some real test of the camera in real situations. Thank you Julia. Maybe you could also include an information whether or not there are any color profiles when shooting a video ? :)

[@johnreypines6538]

Finally! Someone who is professional in photography can evaluate the quality of the phone camera and video capabilities. Thank you, Julia. 🤍

[@freddybell8328]

Yeah tech reviewers will take one or two photos or clips jump to a conclusion and everyone takes it as gospel lol

[@juliatrotti]

Ahh thank you so much, I appreciate it!

[@bmomosaik]

the biggest problem is they have all this expensive equipment yet they dont understand that a 4x len will take better photos of people as the default len on smart phones is normally around 23-25mm which just makes a distorted photo and non flattering photo of peoples faces 4x will give you something around 80-120mm

[@GeorgeLeausa]

I was thinking the same thing 😂✊🏾

[@detroitquinto6676]

I totally agree with your comment

[@phamtam2219]

Really awesome. Cant wait to see mine soon.

[@gurupreetsingh6751]

Thanks for such a detailed camera review :)

[@kmigellano]

My most awaited reviewer of Pixel phones 😍

[@lemuricolli]

Muchas gracias por tu trabajo, bien hecho.

[@vicx62]

Thanks a lot , the pictures are really stunning abd the night mode is awesome !!

[@ferysjournal]

I just subscribed! This video is so well-created and insightful. Thanks for making this ✨

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much!

[@tolonggesvlog3561]

I would say this is the best camera review with professional photographer and professional model that's pretty awesome ❤️💯 thumbs up 👍

[@tomybudiabadi]

The best pixel 6 pro camera review right now🔥

[@samnanglucky5146]

Love it ♥️ thank u for this beautiful video 😍

[@stranger6741]

Hell of a amazing video ❤️

[@jaketoffeebabe]

Beautiful all of you, and the photo quality is the point

[@xpga2rcaddy]

I concur, refreshing to see a review from a pro. Thanks for the free download of the RAW image as well. After seeing it and playing with it in Snapseed, one realizes what a great job the computational software of the phone does. Time to upgrade from my LG V30! P.S. Sydney is my favorite city in the world...hope I can return someday!

[@SokChansy]

Such a professional camerawoman I've ever seen. Thank for your review, cutie 🥰!

[@walkingdaveoutdoors]

I Love my Pixel 6, just start with making my own channel doing some epic time lapse's and still. Thanks for the great info. keep up the great vids

[@98Meshala]

When I see you , I smile without feeling 🙂 Great job 👌

[@Starphixx]

Thank you 💕 As a fellow photographer, you're the only one i trust when it comes to the camera review of a phone. Excellent coverage and thank you for doing portrait shots with the 4x lens, no one else is doing it. Btw, you can get pretty close with the 4x so might be some macro potential there! 😊

[@juliatrotti]

I appreciate it! Ooh I'll have to see how close up I can get, didn't think to try that during our shoot!

[@BoltRM]

I saw 1 review that showed excellent images they got using the telephoto for macro shots.

[@enriquetorres9427]

the front camera is very bad

[@rahulduhan5851]

Coooool love it and love you for this ❤️

[@soyleche]

Ive been watching ur pixel camera review since the pixel 4 lol, ur video always amazing

[@rcdhi1g]

Nice and honest review from one cute and pro photographer .

[@plusleID]

I came across a few reviews of the pixel 6 camera, but most of them just trying to compared it to S21 and iPhone 13 and not trying to deep dive into what can we do with pixel 6 camera features, but I your reviews giving me a whole different perspective how to maximize the pixel camera potential. Very nice review..

[@wonderworld8603]

Wow julia you had so beautifully reviewed the pixel i like that ..so impressive photos cool ..cool guys! 😉

[@abhishekdharme8563]

yeahhhhh i was definitely waiting for your video for pixel

[@JcSontinou]

The model so beautiful, like her styles ❤️

[@JayneNicoletti]

Great review thank you!

[@kikon6233]

Forget about Pixel 6 pro... Just came here to see u...😍 So beautiful.

[@Quoutub]

1:35 It seems that Google doesn't reset the sliders when you focus, that's very nice! On my Pixel 3a, the brightness slider is reset whenever I focus, that's very annoying.

[@wanrawan]

Same with Pixel 3

[@juliatrotti]

Yep it does not reset unless you close the camera app or press the reset button yourself :)

[@Jazminzesati]

Is there no way to lock it? In my samsung a double click locks the brightness, not very stable but useful

[@dani1179]

Julia loved the vid! what would be your phone camera tierlist?

[@johnyoungblood]

Loved your review, Julia! Curious to know if you experienced delays when pressing the shutter button? My past phones have not given an instant click like my cameras which makes it annoyingly difficult to capture my beloved dog photos. TY!

[@abtinzarei788]

This video presented one of the best comparisons of the Pixel 6 Pro.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Great review…showing it in action is the way to go

[@Hud1849]

Thank you your your realistic video. Like every normal person do, take the camera, shot and done. Niceee ❤️❤️❤️

[@kristenmerkel1072]

Thank you for this! ❤️

[@kanpuriaa]

Subscribed...!! Excellent very informative pre-ordered pixel pro. Thanks.

[@markshirley01]

At last a photographer doing the review - well done Julia. 🔥 Just wish google had included 25fps - Im in a PAL region and my timelines are 25fps. The iphone 13 has includee this. This forces me to use filmic pro.

[@BrialMusic]

Nice to see the camera perform so well. I've seen a lot of tech reviewers saying it's not that great and I think it's just in terms of consistency that the iPhone is probably better but for the amount of money you pay for the phone I think it's a pretty sweet deal.

[@AmazonUnboxing]

Thanks a lot. Video part helped me more 💯😊

[@cedrickbrindou8594]

Just amazing.👏💯 very good content.

[@masakiejji]

Amazing review

[@maaz2505]

My gosh both the photographer herself and model both are drop deap beautiful oh lord

[@BrianMosleyUK]

Lovely review, thank you. 🙂

[@danielremillard1016]

Because of this review my pixel 6 pro comes tomorrow ❤️❤️

[@MJG70]

Great Review!!

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

Im already on the wait list for the pixel6
