Really sucks!
Santa Monica pier from 300+ yards away you can leave your own thoughts. Mind you hand held no tripod or anything. Yes 100% daytime photos are better but still for what it is. Amazing. 2nd shot is using the pop out feature that I love.
Please note the 4 lane freeway sign is even decently clear.
Lol good.

Looks like you are on wide angle mate ☺ it does not have the upper hand when it comes down to low light
I LOVE IT
Just took this low light photo at 1030 at night. You can easily see the Pleiades Cluster of stars right above the trees. 30 Second Shutter, 100 ISO (I believe, it might have been 50)

How can anyone take you seriously after that...
It's obvious that the pic is taken with the wide angle camera instead of the regular one.
Did a thread cleanup. Please, if you are an actual reviewer and own the device participate in this thread.
Back on topic.
Took my first shot last night with my brand new Nov 17 built 933 with the only light being the glow from the TV on one side (TV screen is out of the shot) and a little light glow from the light on in another room on the other side and it was amazing, I couldn't be happier. Quick focus, great pick, sharp considering and surprising colors.

Regardless of optical material, improved aperture, or better controls and software modes... The camera on this phone is terrible for this price point. Side by side, my LG G4 and LG G5 performs comparably (and even favorably) in most, if not all, conditions compared to the V30. The front face ING camera is especially terrible.
I really WANT to love this phone, but the terrible camera is INEXCUSABLE. My wife's Note 8 and my LG G5 (another hunk of junk that had a terrible screen and a body that destroys itself with the battery door under normal usage) both have better camera's than this thing, SPECIFICATIONS BE DAMNED.

Just as an fyi I create albums on facebook and link the photos here.
Auto mode, unedited. I think it is too bright as the actual scene was way darker. Still, pretty good.

I am coming from a Pixel 1 which had an excellant camera and so far I have not been let down at all. I wanted the manual controls and was pissed when the Pixel wouldn't let me keep the shutter open for more than a second, the v30 allows up to 30 seconds!!!
Here are some pictures I took tonight while at kings island. All the pictures were MUCH darker than what they look like here:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/fAG370lZHqqc8VVA3
https://photos.app.goo.gl/fAG370lZHqqc8VVA3
Most of the pictures show both the normal and wide camera. The ones on the table outside were at 9pm EST. It was pretty much pitch black out. And that's only at 20 second shutter speed. The garage shot is in complete darkness. The shots of Kings Island were on Auto

Pretty good 20 sec considering iso was at 800 but since aperture is 1.6 it's way to much light . I would lower iso to 50 and you could get away with even 10 sec exposure and cleaner photo . As for auto settings I only use it in broad day light . Once it gets dark you have to play with manual . It irritates me that people use auto mode at night and then complain how bad photos are . I don't care how much you paid for your camera ( Almost ) all cameras make bad decisions at night in auto mode .
I assume a tripod is mandatory with those extended shutter speeds. DIdnt even know this could be done on a phone. Nice!
I currently have the V20 and I am looking to upgrade to the V30, depending on how much the camera has improved. Manual mode which I love, is how I shoot all my shot. A tripod is required for even more than a second of shutter speeds. This was shot using the V20 with a stutter speed of 30 sec and a ND filter with a tripod.
Just took this low light photo at 1030 at night. You can easily see the Pleiades Cluster of stars right above the trees. 30 Second Shutter, 100 ISO (I believe, it might have been 50)
After doing some research I found out you can even see Andromeda Galaxy near the top center of the photo, it's the "blurry star"

That's pretty.... stellar! I couldn't help it. But really, that's amazing for coming from a cellphone camera. I'll have to give it a try. I have a photo idea on tap that needed a night sky shot. I was going to do it with a larger camera but I will have to try it with the phone so that I can have an all in phone shot.
So far, I've been extremely impressed with the main camera in low light most of the time. Once in a while there's a little bobble here and there but overall, really good stuff. I was able to shoot with it in an area I normally test larger cameras. The wide angle is far better than that on the V20. I even shot one shot in the museum that I later used for a composite. The V20 was a pretty good photo tool but the V30 is looking to be much better! I've already got a handful of shots with it that I really like.

The way I achieved it was the way most people with DSLR takes night photos. I had it propped up (Don't ever hand hold star photos) and took 7 pictures. I then used the free windows program Sequator which stacks the photos and compares the differences between the photos to remove noise. It only takes about 20 seconds to do it. Then WALA. The final picture came out about 22 meg in size and looked amazing. I want to go out to a place with less light bleed from the environment to take some but it might be a while

I might be able to test that tonight I'm heading into Joshua Tree to check out the meteor shower. I'll be doing most of my shooting on my DSLR but I'll grab a couple from the v30 as well. I don't have a cell phone tripod but I'll just lean it up against something.
I'll test both cameras. I'm expecting slightly better results from the wide angle than main camera just because the shorter focal length will allow for longer exposure without star trailing. but that f1.6 would let it some pretty decent light too. I'll try and update when I can with results, sometime this weekend!
Can someone upload some more pictures in LL please? I wish I could get some more samples with real environment. Could be outside and interior sceneries. Please give us some more.

Here's my V30 photos on Flickr so far:
https://flic.kr/s/aHsm4J9TWL
EXIF info is open for viewing for each shot. Anything shot in the museum or a performance setting is low light. (There is a "duplicate" which is a concept I was working on with one rough three minute job and the other a little more worked over.)
can somebody do a camera comparison with note8 and google pixel 2 xl? I want to buy v30 but not sure if camera is good enough
@CHH2 thx @serhiopinkoli I'm also wondering **** one to those of those two. I heard that camera sensor is really little in v30 and pixel aren't big that could be complicated in LL conditions. Sometimes can get his shot, sometimes not - depend on scene and software correction, that's how I thing. It's more sure to get more with bidet pixels in sensor and better software, but less mpix rich is also not to good now I've got 19 mpix with pixel size as v30 has about 1,12 and in the dark outs terrible also because of poor software and dark camera glass f=2.0. But I like it with good light conditions . Shots has far more details than note 8. So this 16 mpix in v30 really make me confused, if note had some more mpix it wasn't even a question.
That's why I also wanted some real live pictures. It was the best to get comparison.

I was really worried about the smaller sensor also. So I was able to reach out to a contact at T-Mobile to arrange a no restocking fee purchase so I could test it out and if I didn't like it, return it. I was really worried it would be worse than the V20. Well, I'm keeping it. It's better than the V20. I still get a weird photo once in a while but a very large majority of the time, I'm really surprised at how well the V30 does. You won't be doing action shots at night. That's just not the realm of cellphones, that's why there are still massive DSLRs. I still have quite a bit of testing to do. I still want to shot a low light portrait as I'm looking for a certain characteristic that I've had to give up on DSLRs for smaller sensors still have.
@ CHH2,
WOW! Those V30 shots you have on Flickr are great. That pretty much put me in the 'Should I get the V30 camp", LOL, it seems a lot of people dont realize that LG offers a boat-load of camera options to use. I have looking around and wondering what cell phone to get and I love how the LG 30 looks as I dont really care for the Sammy thinner style at all. SO after seeing a lot of pros and negs reviews about the V30 I'm sure glad I saw your V30 photos, plus you know how to set up a camera so that helps too.
Finally on Oreo on yesterday, and while the camera was already good for low light, the new Bright Mode does an excellent job (IMO) - for those who do not want to fiddle around with Manual mode. Pretty much surprised, that a smaller sensor (than the competition), can pull off good low light pictures.
http://drtechnno.com/2018/05/10/lg-...e-camera-and-lg-v30-camera-app-in-oreo-build/
See my comparison with the Google camera app in Oreo. Hope it helps someone.

This is the area that I most confused about. They say that it lets 10x more light in than other phones, but the low light is not better than my Pixel 2 without Night Sight, let alone when I turn Night Sight on. It gets good results if you can do a longer exposure but in very low light to no light, this phone is not performing well for me.
Yup it couldn't beat an iPhone XS Max with just point and click. Might actually return this one. Darker grainier image is the Nokia. Lumia 1020 beats this one. Sorry.

If that's the best it can do in low light, I'm cancelling my pre-order.
Looking at photos, honestly it looks like the extra cameras are only used in raw shots. I think it's a really bad decision for that, but that's how it appears to me.
See the screenshots attached. Darker image is 'point and shoot'. Brighter image is raw of the same shot.
Edit for Google Drive link. DNG and original JPG are in there. Screenshots of both as well, in case you don't want it check the DNG file.

I was only interested in this phone for the camera. To see a 2 Lens iOS device beat this one is atrocious. A lumia 1020 till this day gives you thrills for the photos it takes.
Look at this picture of a cat taken in a lit room, the one with a warmer tone (first pic) is the one with the XS and is closer to how the room looks in real life. Both pics taken with flash.
This is going back. What a waste. Will wait for the Xperia 1.
Nokia, step up your game.

as some review have said, N9 is not really flattering for PnS without retouching, have you tried lightroom to get to the same color mood? Then try to compare, because the details in the cat's fur is good, but it needs to be retouched

First , your shooting with flash. Since it are 2 different phones your shooting with 2 different flashes, so your actually comparing the flash here. Shooting with different lighting (flash) makes it difficult to compare the images.
From what i can see in the cat pictures : the Nokia's flash is much brighter : look at the reflection on the rear wall, and the cat is brighter illuminated, on the XS photo the backlights are to bright and close to the cat for my taste , they give me a "get that light out of my face" feeling .
In this case it destroys the mood a bit , in other cases it wil be usefull if the subject is a bit farther away.
Also if you have auto whitebalance set to on then it should compensate for the yellow lights in the room and return a picture more adjusted to white light , so +1 for the nokia if that was the case.
Here's a sample comparison without flash.
I understand that with lightroom, and time spent, that one can probably get truly great photos out of this camera. But on the other hand, unlike the 1020, the pics out of the box are just meh. So in this case, its a good thing they made this a limited run, because most people will not go for this phone anyway. Also, they should have made it at least a 6.5 inch phone. The display is too small to truly appreciate the photos this thing can eventually take. The lag time for processing is excessive as one cannot edit a photo with a depth map unless one waits atleast 5-10 seconds.
Needless to say, the one that's darker is the Nokia.

to my eye, the iPhone one is more pleasing to the eye at first sight, due to the warm color balance and slightly upped saturation.
but if you look at the N9 one, the details and color of the cat fur is better preserved, as are the sharpness of the background, but maybe that's due to wrong focus.
So, if you want photos that looks good at first sight, go for iphone, but if you prefer details and dont mind doing post processing, keep the N9
Personally i post process everything i post anyway, so i prefer the N9

The iphone image is objectively much worse. Much less detail, much more noise, much lower dynamic range. Colour balance can be changed easily in LR (which is on the phone).
However, something definitely does appear to be amiss with low light images. They should be far, far better than they are if they're really stacking images / data from all 5 sensors. The XS Max is far worse than Samsung or Huawei's latest offerings, or the product of GCam in low light.

I'm pleased with most of the pictures posted in this discussion because of the amount of information captured and the balanced exposure. I agree that they aren't always as immediately appealing as other phones which step in to tinker with the images. But at the same time I appreciate the potential gains from having your images available in this format.
Having the option of automated processing would be nice for when you don't have time to play around in Lightroom. And they may do this through software. But seeing as they have already stated that their target audience is camera enthusiasts then they might leave it alone.

I own a P20 Pro , and while the night mode is a nice gimmick it's nothing more than that.
I much rather have the quality of the images under normal light that this nokia produces. And not the over processed jpg's and the unusable raw files that i get from my P20 Pro. Nightmode or not.
Very good when using Raw.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 7T come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

Quite disappointed to be honest. Think I will send it back. Pictures with the OnePlus app are fuzzy, not sharp at all. Installed gcam, pictures are sharp but in low light color is lost, washed out, almost grayscale filter. Coming from p20 pro. That device also sometimes applies weird sharpening/smoothing, but mostly it's very good. Had high hopes as dxomark rated the OnePlus 7 above the p20 pro. Not!
Images are too punchy and water colored, hopefully it wil get fixed soon in updates

Happened to me with different xml files. Try with another one?
Just got my 7T today and took some pictures tonight with the pro feature in the camera app with nothing but a flimsy 5 dollar tripod lol. I have to say, it's a pretty darn good camera, and that's coming from a Pixel... Don't get me wrong, Pixel Cameras are amazing and the quality on the 7Ts are a bit washed out but It's still up there with the big boys.
Here's some of my pics from tonight. Keep in mind im in NYC and it's extremely hard to impossible to see the night sky like this.
A friend and I were playing around with our cameras the other day. We were in his basement and it was kind of weirdly lit. His new iphone the pictures he would take would be completely white like the room was normally lit. On the oneplus 7t the picture was a lot darker, the shadows were a lot more noticable some to an extreme point. I took another picture with it in night mode and it looked more like the iphones picture but things like fabric looked fuzzier than it should have. He then took a picture with his dslr camera... suprisingly it looked very similar to the picture that I had just taken from the oneplus 7t. When we compared all the pictures the white balance looked better on the oneplus 7t. It looked more like the white balance from the dslr. The iphones picture looked more on the yellow side imo. So take it with a grain of salt in that one situation.

After trying another version (7.0), same version as before did not work at all. Reboot solved the issue. I guess the 7.0 version messed up the camera hal.
Took several photos around a park in good lighting and also when the sun went down and I gotta say I wouldn't be too sad if I had to stick with this as my main camera(I have a note 10+ as well). Ive had all the Oneplus's since the 3t and they have come along ways. Looking forward to more improvements to nightscape and HDR.
Took some photos yesterday. It is not the best camera there, but you can still make some really good photos.
I definitely find photos a bit too saturated... especially that I come from using Pixel device where colours are usually more colder.

Too much yellow in photos
Using the latest 7.X gcam from the thread and I got some surprisingly good results. If a camera can get sharp results in mediocre lighting on a somewhat bouncy dog then I'm happy.
No edits straight out the camera btw
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OPPO Find X2 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Had a brief session today with Find X2 Pro. Compared it to S20 Ultra. Awesome

Random tries in nightmode/48MP....
Have the phone since yesterday and used a Pixel 4xl before. Will post some comparison here later but till now I would say that for landscape the oppo is superior but for portraits the Pixel is by far better. Skin tones and also the perfection of the bokeh is just amazing. Playing around with gcam produces good results for portraits but still not on par.
Any recommendations for ports and configs for the Find X2 pro?
does gcam work with the Oppo?

Yes, Try the OnePlus 8 telegram group, their recommendations work for me.

I wonder if you can use all 3 lenses without root?
We just created a new telegram group for the x2pro (same admins as op8 and op7) waiting for a green light from XDA mods to post the link on this forum.

Apparently, with the new Color OS 7.2 rolling out yes it will be possible.

Since there is not many Real-Life sample photos around I decided to share some of mine via a telegram group: just search for oppo find x2 pro sampleshots (I cannot add a link as I am a new user here)
The iPhone seems a lot warmer and much better for skin tones to me

Today I made a photo comparison between the oppo find x2 pro and the huawei p30 pro. Daylight and at 21:30. I find it frightening that in many cases the Huawei easily keeps up and sometimes takes better photos. The Oppo often has a red cast in low light. Even the wide angle of the Oppo is not superior, despite the imx586. I can only hope that Oppo will improve the software.

I compared it quite a bit to the P20 Pro, where detail is superior in the oppo most of the time, but also not extraordinarily better. HDR scenes and color reproduction are way better on the Oppo though.
In lowlight or even medium light(shaded forests for example) it casts the whole frame in the most prominent color it sees. You can try this at dusk in front of a TV for example. Nightmode increases this problem quite dramatically. Of note, GCam nightsight doesnt do this, so it definitly is a software thing.
In bright sunny conditions, lensflare is also quite apparent in certain angles. Most of the time you can tilt the phone a few degrees and get rid of it without messing too much with the shot you want to take. For stills this is ok, but in video you get really bad lensflares in sunny conditions for which you cannot correct.
I also contacted Oppo support for some of the things, but they dont answer so far.
Has anyone noticed lense flare or pictures looking like they've been taken behind a screen or window? So disappointed with the camera, considering sending it back.
Oppo is a selfie expert mobile. Obviously, the photo qualify is awesome. But I don't know the radiation to take photos. That's the first thing we have to know. Is it omits many radiations when we take photos or videos? Can any known person please share the details here
Stunning
Best camera iv had on a smart phone!
HDR blows out quite a bit compared to competitors.
I often try to catch some views of the night sky. Since I got the Find X2 Pro I just played along with night mode and not with the pro settings - I think this would increase quality massively.
Attached you'll find some night mode photos and a photo that was shot directly towards the mid-day sun.
Btw: If you have some special settings for astrophotography with Oppo Find X2 Pro, it would be nice to know.
To be honest: Don't buy this phone for camera quality.
The sensors are great, they should be able to beat most other phones quite easily or at least compare to them but that's not the case because of some serious software problems. I don't want to go in depth but this phone isn't about camera or battery. It's about performance and display but even there is lacking. The Display problems from the 8pro also affect oppos devices. It's a shame and makes the whole phone pointless.

could not really agree on the camera part, I think photos are pretty great
but you are right about the display issues

Edge detection is as great as ever. Really impressed
Only use it for a quick blast earlier but even from just a few early shots i am impressed, it is noticeably better than my Oneplus 7t.
Honestly no difference with my wife's pixel 4.
Bit nicer than my pixel 3xl
Some macro please

The minimum focus distance isn't suitable for macro, all you can do is crop the original image to get a macro'ish type of shot
1st picture taken in portrait mode, find it amazing!
Can someone please give me a heads-up with the camera settings. I'm new to pixel phones.
With regards to the ratio, would 4:3 be more optimum for portrait shots and when taking landscape shots I should switch to 16:9?
Can these also be pre-set or do I have to change it each time?
Is the leveling bar just informing you of how level your lens angle is, and when it hits "0", you are good to go?
thanks and forgive my noobery.
16:9 will be a cropped version of 4:3. If you want to manually crop the photos (because you have time for it) then I recommend 4:3.
Just remember where did you focused.
Personally for close ups I switch to 4:3 and for every day usage I go with 16:9.

Makes sense.
thanks
Quite like it
Quality
Loving the look of the google processing
Liking the camera
Will do more camera testing next week
The HDR and HDR+ controls need to make a comeback though, some photos just look over processed rather than natural. More often that not though it nails it.
Did anyone noticed that ultra wide lens can't fous near area?
One example. I set focus point on green led (edge of monitor) but there is focus on back wall ...

The ultra wide doesn't have AF, it is a fixed focus lens and your monitor was just too close to be in focus.

Selfie cam terrible
I just got my Pixel 5 today here in the US. I have to say, in comparison to my Pixel 3 XL this selfie camera is terrible! Images seem blurry. I even stood in front of a window and turned on additional lighting. How have none of the reviewers noticed this?? Is this limited to my phone?
