Comparisons are always fun when the reviewer demonstrates to be unbiased. The phone is already at a disadvantage by default, yet the fancy cameras were the ones to get tripods while the phone was hand-held and not even with elbows tucked against the body for stability. Would be nice to see apples to apples comparisons or at least a fair shot for the underdog, I'm this case, a cell phone lol
I think he showed that the phone had zero chance of winning. Doesn't matter if he used a tripod or not. It's not the camera that wins but the lens. You can't get a good shot without a good lens and no phone will ever compare. BTW his a6500 is at least five years old and it still bested the Google Pixel 6.
@@ckdesignlab my point exactly. The phone was already at a disadvantage... So why compare your 2010 Lamborghini Aventador with a few performance modifications against a stock 2021 Toyota Corolla? The Aventador was destined to win already so did it really need the added help of the performance mods if the Corolla had zero chance from the start? Makes absolutely no sense.
@@AlleyAutoChicago I get it but it's a huge thing with the photographer community. Careers are on the line if you don't make a living from this. I'm a full-time designer and now you have to defend work against ppl who think they know what they are doing. I got a Pixel 6 a few months ago and my 6 year old Sony a6300 takes amazing photos of the moon. He's a great photographer and there was no bias in this shoot IMHO.

This wasn't even a fair comparison, a quality point and shoot on a tripod vs a handheld phone with a picture taken at 20x digital zoom. I wonder whos going to win? 🤔
I don't get why you don't use a tripod on the pixel, I get better pictures of the moon with the pixel 3, that only has a 12mpx 1x lens, use raw and low the exposure
I'll have to try it next time. I would think it's reserved for actual dark sky photos (milky way type stuff), and away from the city. With my big camera, shooting astrophotography and shooting the moon are two completely separate things. Shooting the moon is actually shooting daylight, it is only visible to us cause it is lit by our Sun, so you don't need long exposures. Shooting the stars, milky way, or distant galaxies...that requires much longer, locked off (tripod), or even motorized tracking shots since there is so little light. But maybe the pixel's astro mode handles things differently.
Yo tome fotos con mi pixel 6 el normal y déjame decirte que salen muy bien , le baje el brillo de fondo bueno empece a jugar un poco con esos ajustes y salió muy bien, deberías ponerle más ganas al momento de fotografiar, agarras el teléfono y solo tomas parce que ni ganas tuvieras de tomar la foto con el celular
Using a tripod you'll get better results in any dark conditions with any camera. Get a tripod adapter for smartphones...however Pixel 6 Pro won't be able to take good moon photos. Maybe a longer Samsung optical zoom would do it much better.
You held the Pixel in your hand when it should have been on a tripod as well. Night sight needs the phone held just as still as the camera, and why didn't you shoot them Pixel in RAW and edit the images on Lightroom like you did with the Sony? Not a good comparison in the slightest.
The guy at the link below actually got some nice shots of the moon with the Pixel 6 Pro and explains how in this tutorial. I think if you also get a telephoto lens attachment for the Pixel it would turn out a lot better. ua-cam.com/video/7-hFcRKExfI/v-deo.html I'll stick with my Sony a6300 though and the Tamron 70-300mm, which is a full frame lens and becomes a 450mm on an ASPC sensor. Using Sony's 2X clear image zoom it then becomes a 900mm lens and looks incredible! It's on par with a $1,500 telescope. Telephoto FTW
Awesome video! fun, beautifully edited and put together.. I hope you have a million subs soon!! Thanks for this though, I've been trying to get some decent shots with the moon on the pixel, but can't, I guess the conclusion is.... don't try lol..
Not sure you gave much effort in taking a good, steady photo with the Pixel. Nonetheless, I think we all know a phone camera (not including the S21 Ultra) is going to fall a bit short of a much more expensive stand alone device.
You are right, I just tested it as a casual user would instead of applying my professional photography knowledge to it. A normal user doesn't want to carry a tripod, shoot in RAW, adjust aperture, ISO, and shutter speed with a non-native camera app lol. I'm hoping for camera software updates to improve the process in the future...when that happens, I'll give it another go 😉
@@thatsginter I thought someone must have done it and sure enough I found an old video of a guy shoving a telescope in front of a pixel 4. He took a picture of Saturn and some other planets. Probably overkill for a shot of the moon...
well u kinda triggered my point because u took the photo as fast u can without adjusting the bright level and temperature and don't say it would not have made any different because u wrong it'll do somewhat better
Cool video, I think this was nice. They focus on astrophotography with the phone, but if it can't even take a "normal" shot of the moon... :( Maybe it's worth buying some small smartphone telelens for it.
Use tripod for pixel 6 pro bro
I was going to type the same mesaage...hahaha...👍
Or use Nightsight? 😶
A tripod clearly would not help much because of the zoom factor. Yes the tripod will help focus, but you need a much longer lens.
yup nightmode needs a tripod. It must detect stabilization to perform it best
@@ckdesignlab Disagree. The phone absolutely needs a tripod. Your hand shakes and the tripod is steady.

The dslr most likely shot in manual mode vs auto on phone
Bullshit you took a hand held photo at 1 second v an SLR cameras on a tripod at 4 mins
It's not an SLR. It's a mirrorless camera 😂
I get some sweet pics of the moon with my 6 pro. So far so good. Zoom, point, tap, adjust and shoot. All the way with 20x isn't bad. Pretty easy.
where can I see that
@@32ewing my link comment keeps disappearing 🤷🏻♂️
I saw it disappear too (it's not me!) - let me see if my comment sticks: instagram @mattworboys - BTW...that astro shot is fire!
@@thatsginter Ah ok sweet. Thanks 👍🏼

Yo eh tomado fotos a la luna con un Google pixel 4a, el secreto está en jugar con las sombras y el brillo en la cámara
Why didn't you use the astrophotography mode with the pixel 6 pro?

Bro!...use a tripod for the Pixel and let that Gcam "Astrophotography Mode" kick in!...You ain't doing any justice to the Pixel without the tripod!
good compairisan:tripod versus non tripod
Go ahead . Lots of love
You know what dual exposure is in the Pixel 6 pro right? Use it
Great video! Actually I took a picture of the moon with 20x and it was pretty good. Didn't use a tripod btw.
"Full moon rise usually lines up with sunset…"
Thiiiink about it. ;-)

Full support🥳
The Pixel 4X lens is great, but 4X is not enough to take good moon pictures. Maybe Moment have some good telephoto lens for this kind of jobs 😉
10:22 the moon makes an appearance
Glad I read the comments and didn't waste my time. Amateur mistakes.
Would an ND filter held in front of the Pixel lense help? I'm going to try that and see how things pan out. Thanks for the video.

Moon photography with S21 ULTRA is amazing

The question is what would the pixel photo look like with an external lens?
Or even better a small telescope.
Ya, would be interesting to try with some of those Moment lenses. I'm still really impressed with this zoom lens otherwise.
@@thatsginter I thought someone must have done it and sure enough I found an old video of a guy shoving a telescope in front of a pixel 4. He took a picture of Saturn and some other planets. Probably overkill for a shot of the moon...
Why didn't you shoot raw with the Pixel as well and edit in light room as well?
You didn't even lower the exposure for the pixel .also no tripod
well u kinda triggered my point because u took the photo as fast u can without adjusting the bright level and temperature and don't say it would not have made any different because u wrong it'll do somewhat better
Can you make more videos on pixel 6 astrophotography please?
Wow. A handheld photo in low light at max zoom didn't look good? Really?
It's not too fair that you are not putting the phone on a tripod as well.
Lets see this stabilized comparison.
Lol
The moon app?
Bro 20 x hand photo
Pixel phones need manual mode
Buen manejo de la cámara Sony pero no sabes usar el Pixel en absoluto. De todos modos el 20X es insuficiente para la luna.
Ur doing it wrong
You should try a Samsung note 20 ultra or Huawei p30 Pro with 50x zoom. It takes really great moon shots
Don't cut the hair. It's hot 🔥
Lol, thx man!
Cool video, I think this was nice. They focus on astrophotography with the phone, but if it can't even take a "normal" shot of the moon... :( Maybe it's worth buying some small smartphone telelens for it.
It can take good shots of the moon. It's not hard. I've done it with my 6 pro in seconds.
This comparison is absolute garbage 🤣 .. dude's doing 30x res zoom without a stand and expects the output to be decent
you gotta be kidding me you call that a fair comparison? you're not even putting that p6p on a tripod lmao
