Man we have become hostile humans. The dude simply took some pictures of a subject and let us see what a cool new Pixel phone could offer and he gets just crushed. Thanks for you and your subjects time Lee, some of us appreciate the great job. And the Pixel 7 line is insanely solid btw. Loving mine.
Appreciate it. People don’t know how much work is involved and it’s all at my time and expense. Most people turn hostile when they don’t hear what they want to hear. It’s mostly people that some how attach their identity to the phone they are using. If you love the pixel 7 pro that’s cool. It’s a great phone but it has flaws like every device. I’m just real with what I show. Im not in googles pocket $. If you want to hear how it’s the best phone ever go to a channel that is :p
@@freud1025 it is all at my time and expense. Some videos cost me at least $600-$1000 to shoot and I can only hope that over time it will break even from ad revenue. I dont do a ton of sponsorship deals and when I do I pretty much put all that money into the video.
@@LeeZavitz This is the first time I have seen a reviewer use the exposure sliders on a Pixel phone. Your content puts these YT Celebrities like MKBHD, SuperSaf and mrwhosetheboss to shame. 🔥🔥
iPhone 13 Pro user here. I like that your video showed that the camera app has a white balance slider. I also learned that it could do raw+jpg in the app which is good to know, as sometimes I'd rather process the raw with less extreme HDR. Nice video, cheers
I have the 13 Pro also, and there is an app called Camera M that I use a lot of times in place of the standard camera app. It offers full manual control and allows you to shoot raw+jpg. It takes a while to learn the interface, but I highly recommend it.
Hey Lee. I saw your video about the Pixel 6 Pro camera and I have just compared it with this one. One thing I really can't explain to myself is that the quality of the portrait of the Pixel 6 Pro is way better than the Pixel 7 Pro. Just watch again that video, the portraits were absolutely perfect. I have the Pixel 7 Pro and i'm really disappointed for the portraits. Greetings from Italy
It's easy...stop using portrait modes. Use 1x , 2x and 5x lenses to shoot portrait pictures in normal mode. You're going to get smoother and much more natural bokeh and even more detail. Portrait modes are ok just for smaller sensors.
Definitely iPhone vs Pixel by a real photographer would be great, and thank you for pointing out the bugs with portrait mode, I think it has to do with the fact that they force a crop into the main lens instead of using the 5X which is ideal for portraits, so when the algorithm processes detail on a cropped image it just goes too far. For what is worth, I actually prefer to add portrait blur AFTER I take the picture in Google Photos, it works great, allows you to control the point of interest and intensity, which can help hiding imperfections, also can be applied to almost any picture. In terms of the hdr processing bug, I never had an issue with that and I find it pretty damn accurate and predictable, sometimes even too accurate because if the ambience light is colorful (neon signs, rgb, etc), it corrects the color to a point where it looks like it was taken on regular/perfect conditions which is not bad, but can be annoying if you are actually trying to get moody/creative results, raw solves this too tho...
Can i take photos with the 2x no portrait mode and just adding blur to it with the software ? Will it look good without oversharping or crunching the face ?
You're amazing photographer that is why I look to your insta account and it blows me out from what I see. You definitely a PRO. Keep it up. Please upload more!
It sucks portrait mode is being left to the wayside. Apple updated theirs in the iPhone 14 Pro to do shallow depth near and far this year but their main lenses without portrait mode are still doing better. All cameras kinda gave up on it.
they need to add a big sensor 50mm 2x specifically for portraits and fix the processing. also the 5x raw pics are the closest thing to a dslr I have ever seen in a smartphone
I have a Pixel 7 Pro and what I don't understand is the aggressive luminance noise reduction for daylight photos (especially noticeable with leaves/trees in landscape photos). Already the 6 Pro had this issue, previous Google phones like the Nexus 5x didn't have this issue in HDR+ On mode. The raw files don't have this issue and the raw files are often even not noisy. So it's unexplainable for me why they destroy details in good light conditions. Even the live photo video frames can sometimes look better due to the noise reduction.
It’s a really solid camera system. I still don’t know what’s up with portrait mode. I’ve yet to see it look good even when people giving it camera of the year praising the portrait mode when it looks awful. But I think Samsung is nailing portrait mode more than iPhone
Iphone 14 pro VS Pixel 7 2x zoom comparison would be great! That's the focal length I found the most usable for every day use (mostly taking photos of people). Thanks for the video!
So digital zoom vs crop zoom on iPhone. iPhone beats almost everything (including dedicated 2x lens) with it's clarity and per pixel detail and sharpness. I was comparing 2x iPhone 14 Pro shots with the sharpest 2x lens on Phone (Galaxy S10) and I can put them on par during the day and iPhone just crushes Samsung during the night. The difference is... huge at least.
Did you take a look at when the Galaxy S10 and when the iPhone 14 Pro was released? A good 3 years difference, with much AI and chip development in between.
It would be great to see an interior shoot. The only time reviewers seem to go inside is to test night mode! But Most people actually use their camera indoors regularly in just normal interior light.
I could make a video like that but it’s just harder to plan out a shoot indoors unless i find a cool location or studio. These videos I make aren’t your every day photos. I’m a photographer and to me it’s more about creative shoots using a phone instead of my real camera.
yeah, the portrait mode on pixels doesnt look good, usually wht i do is tht i capture a normal photo and then apply portrait mode in photo editing. also my pixel 6a sometimes does make the subject dark but only in portrait mode. so yeah, pretty consistent bugs across pretty much all new pixels
First time seeing on of your videos. You're doing a great job. You know what you're doing. Just one question. Do you think a noob who has no idea about photography can still get decent portraits shots when not using the portrait mode? And do you have any tipps on how to get good shots? Just using 2x and 5x zoom lense and that's? Or is there more to know?
I think that you used 2x for portrait photos. This is bad on the pixel phones since it corresponds to an actual zoom of 3x (ie digital from 1x). On p6s and p7s you should use 1x for portraits which corresponds to 1.5x actual zoom.
I stopped using the fake portrait mode after p6pro has the telephoto 4x lens. I hate to see a photo using portrait mode from any phone, it look so fake. agree with Lee, 5x telephoto and 2x from main camera are awesome.
It’s just a weird comparison when one would have a telephoto lens and the other wouldn’t. Obviously there is a big price difference from iPhone 14 pro to pixel 7 pro
The raw files of the 7 Pro are extremely desaturated when I open them in Snapseed or Lightroom mobile. One usually needs the maximum saturation value. Previous Google phones had this issue as well. For example my Pixel 3a. But with my Pixel 3a this issue was only fixed many months after the release and of course the update didn't fix the raw files of the photos that had already been taken.
When I open the raw files in camera raw they have the exact amount of saturation as the jpg. But if I just preview them in finder on my Mac they are desaturated
I have just installed a new update for Lightroom mobile and now the raw file isn't desaturated in Lightroom mobile (rather too saturated), but still desaturated in Snapseed.
No, sadly, you can't take 50 megapixel photos. The 12 megapixel main camera photos are not downsampled 50 megapixel photos. The 12 megapixel photos are created by the sensors in their 12 megapixel modes, the sensors behave like 12 megapixel Bayer sensors in this mode. The 50 megapixel modes of the sensors are only used for digital zoom. (The 6 Pro never used the 50 megapixel modes of the sensor, the 6 Pro gave you 3 megapixels at 2x zoom).
Honest question: does the Portrait modes are required anymore? Why not simply keeping the "Portrait Mode" button on the UI, but switching to the proper lens and insuring the processing will focus on skin tone. Do we really need the faked bokeh effect anymore? A few years ago, it was nice because the lens weren't capable of doing good shallow depth of field.
1x portrait would have done a much better job than shooting on 2x. The 1x is already cropped shooting 2x is double crop and reduces the quality. I've taken amazing portraits on my pixel phone from the 3 to the 6 I'm currently using. And the best portraits is taken on 1x
The issue is 1x is 24mm and not a flattering focal length for portraits. I’ve also used the 1x portrait mode and found similar processing issues. But it does look more detailed because it’s not a crop
@@LeeZavitz No it is not. On pixel phones, portrait zoom 1x corresponds to actual zoom 1.5x, while portrait zoom 2x corresponds to actual zoom 3x. Please see the metadata of the portrait photos for verification.
ok so i guess the problem isn't the phone, it's the photographer... i'm guessing meg is a model? no normal person can do those poses that well right XD
I don't know what happened to Google's processing but portrait mode hasn't been great since they switched to the new sensors on the 6 series. It's really a little hit and a lot of miss since then. Processing looks terrible but when it does hit it's amazing. I hope they can solve this with future updates. Portrait mode works best on my 6 Pro when I turn on the flash and then it destroys everything else. But when flash is turned off it's a gamble.
@@uriel3368 exactly. I take all my selfies with the main rear camera and at arms length all my photos come out gorgeous with natural bokeh that far surpass any fake portrait mode.
You have to realise that the 6 have had over a year's worth of updates.... You need to give it time for the software to be updated. I think people seem to forget this.
Hmm same I remember taking pictures with my 5a and one of my friend's 6 pro and my 5a turned out to be the better in portraits mostly and overall as well! I was kinda in a strange position, but since it's new hope google will figure it out soon
I will say, the RAW shots are definitely one of fave off a phone. Pretty crazy how nice and natural they look!!! You would never think they came off a phone.
@@therealzuluking The issue of the Pixel 7 Pro is that focus lock isn't working correctly in the photo mode. It often resets and still shows the yellow lock symbol. I just examined the issue a few days ago on the Pixel 7 Pro because I wanted to take macro photos (ultra wide angle as well as main camera +2x zoom). At first I thought that it isn't working when you adjust the zoom level (for example from 2x to 3x), but it can even reset when you don't change the zoom factor (no matter whether "macro focus" is turned on or not). Google's focus lock is full of bugs.
I wonder whether the dark skin tone was due to Google's "Real Tone" feature? By the way, a few hours ago I took a portrait photo with the 7 Pro and it nearly looked as if it inverted (!) the colors of the face. Looked terrible, but was not reproducible and the issue wasn't in the raw file.
Could you do a Pixel vs Iphone comparison? the only thing that really matters to me is the camera on phones, but I haven't found a good comparison yet, it doesn't even have the be the 14, the 13 pro or pro max could do too.
Yea even the non portrait mode pictures on my Pixel 7 look terrible oversharpened and with ugly HDR. Im very disappointed. Im very tempted to just return it and get an S22+, Xperia 5 IV or Iphone 13
ce genre de vidéo est faite toujours a l'avantage de l'Apple a cause des sponsors et le fait que Apple paye bien ces partenaires , apple a toujours mis en avant sa marketing, les photos en plein jour ont été modifié du coté google 7 pro pour le désavantager je suis photographe et retoucheur depuis plus de 15 ans , ca se sent a plein nez quand je regarde ces comparaisons qui ne sont pas juste. google pixel pro 7 tensor gen 2 prend en charge avec l'intelligence artificielle les 7 cadres de mise au point afin de travailler avec son logiciel incontournable la luminosité et l'exposition mieux que n'importe quel smartphone ici on voit bien que l'utilisateur a mis en mode manuel et il a aussi baissé le contraste ou bien il a mis un filtre miroir pour désavantager google 7 pro, on bien vu dans le temps quand GOogle pixel a mis tous les smartphone en péril quand il a sorti le google pixel 3XL avec un seul capteur mais malheureusement ce téléphone on en parle pas beaucoup car il avait dix ans d'avance au niveau de la modification de l'image avec son logiciel incontournable.
This is a great impression! usually the camera aspects of smartphones are focused for persons that will use it in auto and not as photographic tools, which is fair of course as most people will use it that way; but is a pity as it negates the technological improvements in smartphones.
I see your gear (SONY A7IV), films better than your 7 pro either the Iphone... Mobiles needs years to overcome full frame sensors and premuium lenses...
That portrait mode issue is same on Pixel 6 too, it was like that from the beginning and Pixel 7 is already out and they still haven't fixed that... Straight up stupid.
great video! I'm searching for the definitive camera phone, and I can't pick one between iPhone 14 pro, samsung s22 ultra and pixel 7 pro.. I'm not so much interested in the portrait mode, but I need a really good pro mode where I can manage all the settings, and I think the pixel is too much "auto" mode (does it have a por mode?) and maybe the s22 is the right one.. can you help me? (sorry for my English)
1. anyway you can include at the end or in between of you editing the raw pics step by step and then hold it up side by side with the jpg/regular raw to see how you got the results. 2. second question, which lens was the best one because the regular 1x is the 50 mega pixel one, so wouldnt it make sense to just always shoot with that one instead of doing any zoom ins or switching cameras.

Yeah she’s awesome, my only problem is she is use to a normal camera and switching poses quick where the phone can’t really keep up haha.
@Lee Zavitz she's a true pro lol 😆
Google really need to hire people like you who actually are very honest and clear about what makes good photos and video's and where the flaws lie.
Who ever google hires would never talk about flaws haha
I wonder whether the dark skin tone was due to Google's "Real Tone" feature? By the way, a few hours ago I took a portrait photo with the 7 Pro and it nearly looked as if it inverted (!) the colors of the face. Looked terrible, but was not reproducible and the issue wasn't in the raw file.
Could you do a Pixel vs Iphone comparison? the only thing that really matters to me is the camera on phones, but I haven't found a good comparison yet, it doesn't even have the be the 14, the 13 pro or pro max could do too.
Working on it. End of the day they are both good. They both have strengths and weaknesses. If you want it for video the iPhone is much better
Yea even the non portrait mode pictures on my Pixel 7 look terrible oversharpened and with ugly HDR. Im very disappointed. Im very tempted to just return it and get an S22+, Xperia 5 IV or Iphone 13
i love she s boots ahah
ce genre de vidéo est faite toujours a l'avantage de l'Apple a cause des sponsors et le fait que Apple paye bien ces partenaires , apple a toujours mis en avant sa marketing, les photos en plein jour ont été modifié du coté google 7 pro pour le désavantager je suis photographe et retoucheur depuis plus de 15 ans , ca se sent a plein nez quand je regarde ces comparaisons qui ne sont pas juste. google pixel pro 7 tensor gen 2 prend en charge avec l'intelligence artificielle les 7 cadres de mise au point afin de travailler avec son logiciel incontournable la luminosité et l'exposition mieux que n'importe quel smartphone ici on voit bien que l'utilisateur a mis en mode manuel et il a aussi baissé le contraste ou bien il a mis un filtre miroir pour désavantager google 7 pro, on bien vu dans le temps quand GOogle pixel a mis tous les smartphone en péril quand il a sorti le google pixel 3XL avec un seul capteur mais malheureusement ce téléphone on en parle pas beaucoup car il avait dix ans d'avance au niveau de la modification de l'image avec son logiciel incontournable.
This is a great impression! usually the camera aspects of smartphones are focused for persons that will use it in auto and not as photographic tools, which is fair of course as most people will use it that way; but is a pity as it negates the technological improvements in smartphones.
Man make a pixel 8 pro video ❤️💜💜
I see your gear (SONY A7IV), films better than your 7 pro either the Iphone... Mobiles needs years to overcome full frame sensors and premuium lenses...
The way she gives a 100 poses in a matter of seconds bothers me a lot! How does she do it so fast??
“so we’re shooting raw in JPEG”
Raw & jpg
That portrait mode issue is same on Pixel 6 too, it was like that from the beginning and Pixel 7 is already out and they still haven't fixed that... Straight up stupid.
Great video, please do a "video & photo" comparison, Google pixel 7 pro VS iphone 14 pro max VS samsung 22 ultra please
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice
Straight to the point, organized. Man, you got a new sub today. Thanks.
great video! I'm searching for the definitive camera phone, and I can't pick one between iPhone 14 pro, samsung s22 ultra and pixel 7 pro.. I'm not so much interested in the portrait mode, but I need a really good pro mode where I can manage all the settings, and I think the pixel is too much "auto" mode (does it have a por mode?) and maybe the s22 is the right one.. can you help me? (sorry for my English)
came to see iphone vs pixel part
Vivo x80 pro Professional Photography ... Vs Pixel
where is loacation sooo much beautiful for pictures and all the stuff
1. anyway you can include at the end or in between of you editing the raw pics step by step and then hold it up side by side with the jpg/regular raw to see how you got the results.
2. second question, which lens was the best one because the regular 1x is the 50 mega pixel one, so wouldnt it make sense to just always shoot with that one instead of doing any zoom ins or switching cameras.
3. question, can we see videos of you beating the iphone 14 pro with the most compact/mini cameras and how you did it
hiii may i know where this place located ? it's so beautiful
Would you say the 7 Pro is better camera than 14 Pro Max? ❤
can you do video comparison as well when doing 7 pro vs 13 pro
Will wait on that iphone 14 Pro vs Pixel 7 Pro shootout!
Main cam, at 1x does HDR superbly, but 2X seems to be an issue
