I think the pixel is dual pixels if I'm not wrong. But Pixel 2 mostly uses AI and software to overcome the depth perception that can only be done with dual cameras
Honestly, DSLRs and other more professional grade cameras are mainly best at shots that are pre-framed and have a little bit of staging or setup. As far as just point and shoot goes it's very difficult to beat what a smartphone can do.
@TheLingo56 , That sounds like bullshit. Smartphones don't have good zoom, or any tools, really, to make a good shoot. I would never make any good photos with smartphone no matter the occasion, just because of quality, or tools I have with me.
And the fact that any of these phones have so much more to offer for the price, while hasselblad is just for taking pics, which is great if thats your job or you are loaded af, but to me the portrait modes look amazing for what they are.
I'm a photographer and I already knows these basic concepts, but I am AMAZED by the quality of this video and the way you visually "teach" this concepts. Good job Marques, this will be my reccomended lesson on depth of field for newbie photographers, rather than books!
Eeriewolf ikr. And he's still just a kid. For a guy who's born in the 90s this guy has accomplished a lot. Quality content each time. Definitely the best tech-youtuber on the planet rn. Nikki is a really lucky girl! Keep it up Marques! Love you man!
I Am If you're going to say Android, it needs to be iOS. Android is software, Galaxy is a phone line, and Samsung is a company. Just like iOS -> iPhone -> Apple
Yea you can. As much as I love me some MKBHD... he should have used a bit of Google himself. It's Qualcomm IP that outlines the subjects, not the camera(s). Apple uses it and doesn't pay... hence the reasoning behind Qualcomm adding patents for portrait mode to the lawsuit. Need Marques to explain it better. (pun intended)
Yep! Had a dual cam specifically for doing things like artificial bokeh, but then again, HTC decided to use that crap ultrapixel thing and make every photo crap if it was viewed on anything with less pixel density than a smartphone (Had one for almost 3 years, loved every last thing in the phone but the camera).
The HTC One M8 was actually fantastic! They kinda low key released a One M8S which fixed the phones only issue (the 4MP camera) but seriously the m8 was the closest phone to perfect I've ever had
I've used that phone and what you're saying is just false, there's no "bokeh" effect. HTC's approach to the dual camera system is rather useless, they call it ultra pixels, photos were good for a 4MP sensor but no portrait mod whatsoever.
totally sure, I had 2 of those myself, not that it did it in real time, in editing menu, but still it was offered option because it had 2 cameras on the back so it could do it
IMHO this is the best video you've ever done because it combines your unrivalled production quality with the technical aspects of photography which fascinate me.
Marques is slowly integrating the word "trash" and "garbage" into his vocabulary,idk if thats a good thing or a bad thing ,but someone has to mention it ,there I said it...
The pixel just shits on every phone when it comes to that fucking camera. This is coming from a long time Apple fan. I still believe the Note 8 needs to work on stuff like contrast, white balance and Saturation.
yo I hope you read this, every time I watch one of your videos and I can tell that ur not tryna purposely make it past that 10min mark I get so happy. Been watching u forever ur just an honest ass dude who does really well for himself and makes great content. No sellouts or bullshit, glad u made it this far man 👍💪
When you realize apple has triple cameras one on the front and two on the back. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. so does other smart phones, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Man you put up some interesting content. At the start of uploads like this, i have not a single clue what you're talking about, by the end of you're vlog I have a reasonable gRasp on what you're talking about. You dumb it down just enough that someone like me can understand but not to much that I'm questioning what you're on about. Thanks for the time you put into you content. Between you, Lew & Willy Do and CJ knows tech, you all seem to have hit on your own right formula that you can teach man the info youre putting out there..... thanks for all your hard work.......
Tech Talk With Devesh Bohra Google assistant, duel front facing speakers, waterproof and the best camera on the smartphone market. Only complaints I have is the large bezels on the smaller phone and of course NO HEADPHONE JACK!!!
Pixel 2 is garbage. That phone is already crapping out for a number things even after software update on a pure android phone. Wholly google made/designed.
How could someone thumbs down this video it was soooooo informative...they are HATERS! GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! I appreciated this so much it went beyond my expectations 🙌🙌🙌
Vijay Kather you guys didn't get the point. Watch the video again. The portrait mode increased the distance for the blur effect to work. It was before but the object needs to be close to the camera.
Exactly. When I've heard that iPhone 7 Plus was the first phone which had this feature, I thought "Wasn't something before 7+ released with background blur feature?"
You have the best tech channel on RU-vid to me. Makes the homies proud to see one of us with one of these channels. Keep doing your thing. You and Flossy Carter should do a joint show. I think that would be dope.
sorry to burst your bubble but no phone camera will ever be better than the Hasselblad or any dslr camera. the pictures you see on billboards, magazines, posters, etc are always taken with an actual camera. why? sensors and lenses. bigger sensors mean better low lighting and field of view, different lenses for different use, and sky is the limit with editing due to the large size of the picture files. There's a reason why billboards, magazines, posters, etc. dont use phone cameras. theyre just not as good.
Adrian, how about you turn down the snobbery and argue rationally instead? It seems you are the one in a bubble you just got scared will burst. I'm a photo hobbyist, but agree it did look better than the Hasselblad one one or two of the pictures. The reason is that the smartphone companies are quite aggressive on automatic editing of the pictures: The phone guesses what type of picture it is, considers the color space in the picture and makes adjustments towards what humans generally find more attractive: Vibrant and warm colors, with some exceptions. This means that the JPEG straight out of camera the phone will sometimes look better, and it's easier and quicker to share the photo. Reasons why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera just yesterday? 1: Picture reliability: Phones often guess wrong, or guess something really stupid, resulting in an unusable photo other workaround than trying again and praying to the AI gods. 2: System reliability: High end smartphones are inherently quite fragile compared to cameras, due to thinness and having a full side covered in glass. The phone lens is prone to smudge, wear and mechanical damage over time due to being carried unprotected in pocket and used for all kinds of other stuff. The camera app and interference from other apps and excessive chains of software updates is less of a problem, but I'm sure we've all experienced the camera app randomly shutting down or refusing to open. 3: Accessories: Flashes, tripods, audio recorders, filters (UV, ND, gradient...), remote shutter releases... For most any randomly picked camera compared to any randomly picked flagship phone, more and higher quality accessories are available. 4: Glass: Optical zoom, and an interchangeable selection of lenses with various fields of view, gives enormous advantages. The lens is what really determines what image you get, the sensor and camera body are just there for support and to record the image. With a phone you are stuck with one lens, and it's not a particularly nice one. It's equivalent to about 28mm focal length on full frame, which is a quite boring focal length right in between the "normal" range and wide angle. It doesn't quite give the dramatic scale of a wide angle, nor does it give the natural look of something in the 35-60 range when shooting half or full body portraits. It's a very practical focal length, perfect for recording an A4 page and for getting everything you want in the scene without making them too small, but it's not really a very nice one for well... anything. Point and shoot cameras often have this focal length because it is so practical, but for an interchangeable lens system it's not common for a reason. Search RU-vid for "focal length perspective" and you will understand. 5: Manual control: The camera and lens has physical dials to directly and quickly control all the elements of the picture, letting me have exactly the compression/distortion, depth of field, motion blur and grain. This means it is *my* picture, looking exactly how I want it to. There are camera apps that allow some level of manual control, but it's quite limited and super inconvenient hidden under menus compared to turning an ergonomic dial that is always available. This is the biggest factor for me, as it changes photography from simply recording a view to creating a look. It's the difference between taking the bus or driving a motorcycle. The bus is cheaper and the driver knows the way, you just have to go on and get off at one of the preselected stations, which usually are close to something useful. A motorcycle takes a lot more time to maintain and store, and you have to drive it yourself, but you can drive it exactly the route you want and sometimes take a creative detour to something you've never seen before, just for the experience and exploration itself. 6: And lastly, yes the image quality is better. Not so visible on a tiny mobile screen, but for print or displaying on a large screen, the difference is massive. If the colors aren't as interesting straight out of camera, a quick edit can catch up on that and a thorough edit can create magic. Phones have made great strides to catch up, but there is still a long way up and each step is becoming more difficult as the easy steps have been made first, leaving the tougher and less impactful challenges, such as diffraction and fast moving subjects, still ahead.
7:27 what's up with all those "dots" all over the shot?? Marques???? How could that slipped through your exquisite eye? 😂 great video man! Love your channel and all your videos
To be fair, there are instances where parts of the face are blurred out using a dslr with a fast lens. The nose compared to the ears are definitely not in the same plane depending on the composition of the photo.
Yuri S Well, it depends on the apeture you're using. The faster the apeture, the smaller the plane of focus. If you take a picture at f/1.4, you're not going to get the full face in focus like you might at f/5.6.
that's why you take classes and keep learning. like what the person before me said, you play around with the aperture and f stop, and you'll get it down.
Yuri S Of course. With a large sensor and a fast lense you can get a razor thin dof. Take a wide open headshot with a Canon 85L with the focus on the pupal and the ears will be blown out. That makes the lens awesome and it certainly isn't nearly the same thing as some garbage algorithm that can't figure bout where to apply a gausiann blur... Want a wider dof, stop down. Furthermore, you don't get the pleasing compression with a phone. All the proportions are out of whack. Portraits should be taken with a 50-135 no matter what size sensor or the compression is all wrong.
S8 camera also has issues with overexposing in my opinion. I know this is a software update, because turning the exposure down myself yields even better pics than the iPhone
wowwwwwww, the way you explained. that's why i really love to watch your channel every time , i never missed any videos,that is the reason you are number 1 tuber in tech reviews. if you have to choose apple phones vs android phone which one you prefer as a primary phone ?
