The camera on here isn't a budget phone camera. It's been used for years on the Pixel's but they also have refined their camera software and this camera has gotten better. I can't wait to see how the Pixel 7a does because it will be getting a camera upgrade from this older one.

[@LisaOsta]

Thanks for the video. I got a pixel6a too. I primarily use iPhones but due to my work in IT I like to keep up with android as well. Google gave me $300 for my Pixel 3a so it was a no brainer to get the 6a plus the Google buds for less than $200. I haven’t tried RAW on it yet but I will due to your inspiration.

[@anushka_c5046]

fun fact is both pixel 2XL and 6A have same camera lens but look how insane pixel 6A camera preform 🥵💔 Google have godly software optimization

[@charliejg]

Love the images with the second dress, especially in that tall grass and wildflowers scene. The light/shadows were awesome. Funny, I just got rid of my Pixel 2XL this summer because the battery was finally giving up on me. But, I loved that phone and it's camera. I used it as my camera for 2+ years before I finally bought my XT-3. Always loved that it shot raw even though I didn't to much editing back then. I ended up with a Pixel 6 because it was on sale. There is one thing I really miss about the 2XL..... I loved that fingerprint reader on the back of the phone. When I first got the phone I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Now, I really miss it. There is an interesting thing about shooting with a phone. It lets you focus on composition. I think it's a great way to learn to compose because you don't have to worry about anything else. Sometimes I find myself getting frustrated when my composition sucks using the XT-3 because I'm thinking about exposure settings and less about composition. Recently, I decided to set that thing on aperture priority for some shooting and it definitely helps. Great video Lee! Have a rockin' week!

[@stephaned3072]

I did the opposite. i had a sony a7iii which i used as my main reliable camera.nowadays phone cameras are so reliable i sold it and got an s22 ultra.now i just shoot on auto and dont have to do much edit as phones hdr is already good.

[@drinkinslim]

At 2:24 etc -> I realize this is an older video but I noticed that, even though it was shot at 60 FPS, it looks "flickery" - almost like it's at 15 FPS, and I wonder if it's how your video editing software rendered the clip(s) to 24 FPS. I don't think it's *because* it's 24 FPS, but maybe it is. Thoughts?

[@LeeZavitz]

It’s the shutter speed fluctuating because it has to be so high when you aren’t using an ND filter

I broke my S20FE ultra a few months ago and have been stuck using an S9 Plus cus I didn't have the money to repair or replace. The only thing I'm looking for in a phone is a good camera as I like to take alot of pics. I was gonna buy the S23 since I have the means to purchase but I saw that video of Marques Brownlee reviewing all the 2022 releases with the ELO rating and the Pixel 6A camera was impressive, punching WELL above it's weight. I came across this video after looking into the 6A more and damn. The price and the photo quality you can get out of this phone is crazy. I am officially sold.

With whitch camera have you done this video please ?

[@LeeZavitz]

I film all my videos with Sony a7siii

[@slyfox8900]

I find it funny that people are complaining about the sensor in this device. Its the same as the pixel 3-5a. You're gonna get more or less the same looking photos. The biggest difference with this phone will be the video quality since its using Tensor to run google's HDR algorithm through the video capture. And the low light wont be as good as the 50mp Pixel 6. But even then its mostly noticeable in extreme low light situations. I did a detailed comparison video on my channel between the pixel 2, pixel 5 and pixel 6 last year if anyone is interested in seeing the results. It was quite shocking to see that even with the 50mp sensor the pixel 6 looked nearly identical to the pixel 2 in some cases. That IMX 363 sensor is old but if you shoot in raw there is a ton that can still be done with it and the image quality is fantastic.

[@onraj9mm]

Google proves that mobile photography is not about hardware but software!

[@davidletterboyz]

I have yet to watch your video. But I'm surprised with your last sentence because it holds true for other phones for RAW output. If we were to shoot RAW, then all the computational photography advantage of Pixel will be erased. It that case, why buy a Pixel?

[@slyfox8900]

@@davidletterboyz most people choose a phone for the phones feature but from a purely photography standpoint, i still think pixels take the best looking photos.

[@davidletterboyz]

@@slyfox8900 I mean if I were to shoot RAW on Pixel (which this video did), that will not have any Pixel's recipe of computational processing. In that case, I do not gain any advantage.

[@slyfox8900]

@@davidletterboyz that's not the case actually. Googles raw mode is what's called computational raw, which does all the same mult magic that their JPG processing does. It just doesn't apply the noise reduction, tone mapping, sharpening, etc. They leave that up to the user to define in post editing applications like Lightroom for example. Google's raw from pixels typical exhibits wider dynamic range than normal raw capture from say a DSLR, because they are merging different parts of the frame together from all the captured images before being combined to a final singular raw file

I am from India and I am confused between 6A and samsung A53 (the one you mentioned here in this video). here in India there are no service centres (might be 1 or 2 all across the nation) for Google so I would be taking a risk at buying 6A, if there is not much of a difference between A53 and 6A's camera I would definitely be more satisfied with the A53. So should I take that risk just for the camera?
