I thought instead of comparing the Pixel7a vs iPhone 14, to compare it to a flagship which is 14 pro. In this video I compare the main cameras, selfie camera, audio test as well as comparing Pixel 7a to iPhone 14 Pro in Portrait Mode.

pixel is the best of photo iPhone the best of video?

[@dr.sanket]

Tpying this from a pixel 7a and i bought this device only for the camera and google software experience. Love it honestly. I usually take a picture, if its dull (bcoz of the environment), i go to edit and select dynamic. Google photos have superb editing options.

[@StevenDivish]

Awesome! Congrats on the new device! I agree the software on the Pixel 7a is really nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@gauravhooda919]

Me too. Been using it for a over a week now and the experience is unmatched. The camera is nice and sharp, performance is enough. Best part installations from play store are super quick, no lags whatsoever. I am loving mine so far.

[@vastateofmind]

Steven, I absolutely LOVE how you review Pixels (particularly the 7a) from a photographer/videography perspective. I'm only a hobbyist, but the camera is one of the primary reasons that I choose my phones, and I just downgraded from the Pixel 6 Pro (which takes darn good pics but the connectivity is HORRIBLE) to the Pixel 7a, and I am just as pleased with the 7a as I have been with all other Pixels I've owned (Original, the P4, and the P6Pro). I most appreciate how you approach these types of review with an open mind, without allowing a bias for either iOS or Android creep in. PLEASE...keep up the great work!!!

[@user-jb7sx7eq7e]

can you please tell me how to take macro shorts

[@vastateofmind]

@@user-jb7sx7eq7e Sometimes I stand a foot or two away from the subject and then use the 2x zoom on the 7a to reframe tighten up the focus, which also...sometimes...creates a nice boneh effect. Other times I'll just use the main lens and Portrait mode.

[@AbhiPatel-pb9pp]

[@corsinivideos]

I'm a pixel guy and still use my 5, will probably upgrade to the 8. But...I think googles image processing has got softer over the years. Used to have a more HDR detailed look that I preferred. I find the front camera especially on my pixel softer than older pixel models I have and less detailed. The images from the 7a look similar. Almost like there is skin smoothing or beautification going on even when turned off.

[@bandit8708]

I noticed this as well ony 5a, the selfies look so smoothed on the face and it always looks much clearer in the viewfinder

[@davidnguyen2292]

Absolutely true man. I am using the pixel 6 pro, and most of the time, the images look kinda like painting pictures

[@sanketudyawar469]

Bingo! Upgraded from pixel 2xl to pixel 6. Well I am disappointed to say the least. My pixel 2xl is sharp and gives better results as compared to pixel 6 which is soft in comparison.

[@souravbiswas9537]

Because of tensor soc , snapdragon isp is better than the new tensor models

[@maheshkumartak3096]

Switch to raw image you will get the best shot in hdr . You'll find it under folder name RAW. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BUY NEW PIXEL 8.

[@StevenDivish]

Absolutely agree! if only iPhone had it...maybe they will give it to the users with the next generation of iPhone 15

[@StevenDivish]

Can more affordable options like the Pixel 7a challenge the camera experience of the pricier iPhone 14 Pro? What do you think?

[@kaffeice7]

this video proves YES big yes

[@funkam0nkey]

No. The wife has the 7a and its images are over processed. The Pro features are very limited meaning you really have to put up with what you get, whereas the iPhone gives you a lot more data to play with and you also have a more natural looking image.

I know it's a little late but a very good review, I don't know if you could tell me about the photos at night where the rays of neon and LED light hit the faces and good photos don't come out. On iPhone I know it doesn't happen much but on other brands it does. So I don't know if this pixel 7a handles the rays of lights well like in bars and doesn't cover faces.

With the portrait mode the iPhone can actually adjust photos taken in portrait mode later on. Different blur, even disabling it. But it cannot make a portrait photo from something that never has been portrait...

yes!

[@jamiesplinter8758]

Yeah i definitely prefer the pixel im going invest in a pixel 7 a have been mulling it over

I think it's because of noise cancellation at work, with iPhone you can hear much background noise of vehicles Where as pixel 7a it filtered it out!

Pixel wins for me. I'm actually rather disappointed with the iPhone 14 Pro's cameras (I preferred 13 Pro). So I just got a Pixel 7a and I'm very happy. The only downside with Pixel 7a is video recording in low light - not one phone does it really well, but iPhone 14 Pro does better than Pixel 7a in this regard.

[@StevenDivish]

Yes I agree, they really nailed the software part of the phone too! The tech Feels ahead of its time almost

Hello Steven Your videos are beautifully shot. May I know what sort of equipment do you use to shoot your videos? Appreciate your reply.

[@StevenDivish]

In this video I used: Sony 7iv as my main KZbin camera Lenses- 16-35 f2.8 to film most of the sequences in the city For portrait shots I use the Sony macro 90mm on the train station and some broll As a microphone I use the dji mic Editing machine-m2 mbp 14’ (I recently upgraded like a month ago), used the 15’ mbp 2017 before that Google pixel 7a with insta 360 Flow gimbal. Freewell VND filters. And I think that’s about it. There’s also some lighting I use, but not in this video. I will make a separate video about the best gear for filming commercials/KZbin videos sometime soon too. Some of the gear I put in the description too. Thank you David for your support it helps a lot! And if you have any questions just ask 🙏

That's very kind of you to explain in great details all the gears you're using. The Sony does an amazing job! You're truly very welcome regarding the small contribution.

[@yhangr]

This is just very aggressive sharpening being applied here, not true details. It looks fake and terrible IMO. I prefer the less software sharpening in the Pixel photo. If you like over processed look to photos, it is easy to apply sharpening, but impossible to take it off an image.
