Mkbhd : Let's ask the masses who took a better shot. Also Mkbhd : The masses don't know what a better shot looks like.

[@CookieAsArrow]

I think people think more in focus was better, because they thought that that was the intention for the shot. Had he done a portrait the same way, a situation in which the bokeh(blur) is very commonly used to isolate the subject and people are used to the look, they'd probably choose the huawei.

[@akmalaziman8864]

It's kinda Marques fault. Nobody knew if the photos should be a potrait mode or not. It doesn't necessarily needed to be bokeh. Samsung is able to predict the need of bokeh effects and in that photo it didnt need that. Hence, 2.4 aperture is used for that. He is so butthurt about Pixel losing that he immediately blaming on people for that. Thats absurd. And it is blind test for a reason. Its what people voted. You have to respect that instead of being so salty about what the mass majority voted simply because your opinion differs. That's like shoving down our throats. And we don't appreciate that.

True. It's always about perception. And it's not unexpected. If you put a color chart in a picture that's being used to rate a camera, it should be in focus. Even if it's not the central subject. The final composition favored the smaller aperture phones, which is probably fine. Most people want vibrant colors and good focus from their phone's default settings, not great bokeh or a shallow depth of field.

[@halfcreative]

There are also times when certain effects look better and some times when other effects look better. Having more in focus looked better in this case. Just because you disagree or know that the blur comes from larger sensors doesn't make the photo taken better. You can take a worse photo on a nice camera and take a nice photo on a bad camera.

If there are multiple interesting objects at different focal lengths, I'll often stop down my lens to get more of it in focus. Bokeh does not equate to quality.

[@Evelina_412]

Oh god, this. People associate the blurry background with a "professional" look, but it purely depends on what you're shooting. If it's a picture where the background is important, my phone defaulting to an artificial bokeh look would just annoy me.

[@ArisRoutis]

Finally someone said it. Bokeh does not automatically equal quality. There are times you will use it. There are times you will not. It depends on the subject, the moment, there are times you need focus, there are times you need blur on the background (ie. bokeh).

It makes no sense how people who know photos understand why it’s a better photo, but why are there people who believe the other photo to be worse.

The problem is that people are not judging a technical photography contest, they're just looking at photos and deciding which they prefer. They're not wrong. While the shallower depth of field and higher contrast photos are strictly better from a photography stand point, are they better at showing people what they want to see? It seems not. I suspect that people prefer the brighter and more in focus images are more popular, because you can just see more details in the photo. Most people are going to be using their phone to take photos of people and things, in less than desirable circumstances and want a photo in which they can see their subjects clearly and don't really care about the artistry of the resultant image. Most of the time it is desirable for as much as possible of a photo to be in focus and bright.

His reasoning seems to be "I think this photo looks like it was taken by a more expensive camera therefore it is better" whereas the actual point of the test and the way most people voted was "which photo do I prefer?".

[@loamymtb]

I found this quite interesting as well, Marques is a smart guy but he's asking which photo is better and expecting people to pick which photo was taken by the better camera. These are two completely different questions. Just because I can stop down one my lenses to f1.2 or f1.4 doesn't mean I'm always going to do so, many of my favorite shots from my favorite photographers have everything in the photo in focus. Stopping down to f8-f16 to get all of that detail in the shot is something you learn to do depending on the scene. In fact it's quite a beginner mistake to always keep the aperture wide open and get all that "bokehhh." I love nice out of focus backgrounds as much as the next guy but it's far from a requirement for a good portrait.

[@_Super_Hans_]

I thought this too, if I prefer a picture taken by a smaller sensor where more things are in focus then that's my choice and that's the photo I thought looked better because there's more detail...I don't really care if the larger sensor is "more expensive" or in his opinion "better" just because he prefers photos with blurry backgrounds.

Well soft background doesn't make a better photo always. Portraits with softer/blurry background looks good. But when you are taking a photo of something that has lots of details and you use shallow depth of field, it's simply a bad photo. That's what happened in 2nd round. The photo have lots of informations, like the car, the color chart, the hands, shoes, green chair. Simply the camera should have had higher f stop or deeper depth of field.

@@TechSwatch That's what I think too. The colour board takes a lot of attention from the model car and when it is not in focus, the photo is considered worse. I did this too. If it was just some random background without any standout features, I am pretty sure the bokeh photo would win.

@Cee Z I've never used the pixel myself but seen some results from friends, I guess it comes down to preference in the end. I really like the saturation on the Samsung's.
