Moto X , Samsung S4 and Iphone 5s camera comparison here:
http://www.averytuttle.com
Moto X has recently received an update that among other things improved the camera. So I did a small photo shoot with the Moto X, Samsung S4, and Iphone 5s. All phones camera settings were set to auto.
You decide which one is best...
Did he label each pic with what phone took which picture? Am I missing it somewhere? I'm just going to assume the purple photos are the Moto X lol

Mouse over the thumbnail, it gives you the camera. But, essentially, its iPhone 5s, Galaxy S4, Moto X in that order for each set of 3 photos.
The other 2 are still better, but I don't really think the Moto X is bad.

So do these photos include the new update that improves the Moto X camera, or are these taken before the update?

The MotoX used in this comparison had the new update.
How is the camera compared to the horrible Droid Razr HD?

better
the one thing I noticed in those pictures was the ISO was much higher for all of the X shots than it was for either the iPhone or the S4.

That is logical compared to Iphone; as Iphone has a fatter lens (2.2). But not sure why it would need higher iso than the S4 as it is 2.4 lens like moto x. Good observation, but dont have an explantion.

the S4 pix in your gallery report its a 2.2 aperture.
There's still some pink hue sometimes on the Moto X from the avery blog
Quick shootout between the Moto G, Moto X and Samsung Galaxy S4 for anyone who's interested.

I should add that all images were downsized to 5 MP to match the Moto G.
This is all old technology by now, and your milage will vary, but my general observations are as follows:
The Moto G has a pretty decent imaging processor. It's lens is rubbish, with lots of purple fringing and chromatic aberration, but it seemed to be consistently mediocre. Motorola seemed to attempt to make up for a lot of it's shortcomings by pumping up the saturation.
The Moto X has much better glass, but it's white balance shifted quite a bit, and seemed to favor the cooler spectrum of colors. It also seemed to underexpose images slightly, and was a bit on the low side when it came to saturation. At least for my taste. I couldn't help but feel that the hardware had much more potential than what the software offered.
The Galaxy S4 has excellent glass (lens), but it's camera software seemed to be very inconsistent - At least the T-Mobile variant. It handled white balancing the best, but seemed to overexpose images slightly, with an inconsistent saturation level.
All three phones seemed to have sloppy camera software, with hardware ranging from decent to excellent.

Sounds a little defensive there. Take another look and you'll see that the Moto X did best in low lighting, and retained more dynamic latitude detail than the S4. Aside from that, it's always interesting to compare devices and their abilities.

I am just talking about your moto x photo's capability..
I have pretty much at least one of every phone ever made in the last 3 years, and I love the Moto X camera. my wife has an S4, I have an S5. While both have higher resolution the Moto X seems to be a much more stable sensor. Specifically, its much more forgiving of motion, low light, etc. The Galaxy phones seem to work best when its posed like a portrait.
Seems like a lot of devs are throwing it in these days to help out with the shakiness problem of cell phone photos.
Has that been mentioned anywhere for the Turbo yet?

I know the Moto G doesn't have it, I checked again and couldn't see any mention of OIS in the new Moto X. Can you send me a link to where you saw that? It's true the Nexus 6 has it but they have been promoting that feature prominently and I was thinking if the Turbo had it that would have shown up in the user manual leak or elsewhere by now. I assumed OIS was something Google's Nexus department might have insisted on and which was easier to decide on given the size (more room to cram everything in/less decisions on what to cut) of the Nexus 6.
Of course you could be right and I am hoping you are.

your right the moto x does not have OIS. i was thinking of an article that said the nexus 6 was borrowing the same camera from the moto x and that the 6 had OIS. With that being said, i still believe the Turbo will have OIS b/c moto make the nexus 6 and the turbo is going to be there true flagship, it better have OIS to be king. That would be a huge deal breaker for me if it didnt include it.

the fact that the Turbo has a seemingly different camera altogether (21 v 13MP) + completely different flash configurations...leads me to believe that features wont align perfectly...
I'm actually wondering if the Turbo will have the 1/2.3″ Sony IMX 220 Exmor RS sensor. It's listed as 20.7 MP so the round up to 21 would make sense.
It doesn't have it if anyone doesn't know yet.
OIS is a hardware feature, not something that can be implemented in software. The Turbo does not have it. I was hoping it would as well, but I really feel like it could be a new gimmick anyway. I would like to see some testing comparing devices with it and without it.
I have to add that I just came from motorolas version of a nexus being the Moto x pure and I immediately had way more interest when i got my hands on the N5x.
Regardless of the Moto x specs 21mp cam and ram .... I get better pic quality by far even with only a 12.2 mp camera better keyboard response better feel with screen size more unique development and mods available and easier root etc...
Anyone agree coming from a Moto x ?

I fully agree!
I was switching the devices too and I'm far more "impressed" by the N5x, than I was when I unboxed my Moto X Style/Pure. Impressive Cam, very light, perfect size (at least for me), the battery stats (getting up to 6 SoT with Custom Kernel and deactivated encryption). I'm pretty happy with the switch and I'm not regretting it one bit.

Moto Display is much better than ambient display. It's one killer feature for Moto.

True.
Switched from moto x pure to N5X 3 week's ago. Was a bit hesitant because of the smaller battery and the 2gb ram on it. Somehow everything on the N5X feels right... The camera, the fingerprint sensor, the size and weight. I bought the moto x thinking I was done with rooting and modding my phone's but I was wrong. I enjoy playing with it too much and the dev support on the moto was just not strong enough for me. Indeed moto display does work better but then again...the N5X does have a LED on it. Getting 4 to 5hrs SOT on both phones and no lag so far....I'm really happy I made the switch!
Nexus 5X V Moto X Pure
I was considering between the two and decided to go with the 5X mainly because of the screen size and Nexus branding. Although, I was really on the fence about it because of the Moto X's superior memory (3GB vs 2GB) and video stabilization. In the end I am glad to hear the opinion of someone who has had experience with both #TeamNexus
I also sold my 2015 Moto X Pure Edition for the Nexus 5X. I would have probably kept it if it weren't for the size. Moto Display is better than Ambient Display, but they both suck on LCD screens. All of the Moto features were quite nice and added more value to the phone than most ROM features (IMO). It was near prefect but was too big and heavy for me. I probably wont ever own another "Moto" phone now that Motorola is now dead.
FWIW, before I got my smart watch I enjoyed a feature on Light Manager that would wake the screen up whenever I got a notification.
I've gone back an forth between both devices a few times and here are my thoughts. Battery life on the moto X is better. The Moto does not have input lag, where it can make the 5x at times very frustrating to use. You can certainly feel the difference that extra gig of ram makes. The nexus has the far superior camera and usability from a size stand point. I love the size and weight of the 5x. For me, in the end it was the moto x. I like the expandable memory and smooth operation of the device. The moto features are also a huge plus for me as I drive a lot in my job. Hope this helps.
Pixel 2 still number one without soc enhancement.....

If you look at the individual scores for the Pixel 2 vs iPhone X for photo, all the measurements for what COUNTS (exposure, contrast, autofocus, etc...) the Pixel STILL beats the iPhone X.

I know. It's going to be interesting to see what the soc brings to the mix over time as enhancements occur to the software logarithms and machine learning stuff etc.

Pixel is far better grabbing detail. Colors are not as vivid and warm as iPhone but that is not always a bad thing. you can fix color to your liking, can't add detail.
I have comparisons in auto mode on this thread.

I don't think the SoC will bring much at first other than faster processing I believe.

This was my impression as well.......the pixel core was just to relieve the main chip from it's photo processing duties....which will produce faster processing and maybe save some battery.
