Best camera yet is for Google pixel 6 and 6 pro but when Google finalised and finally figures it out it’ll be like the pixel 2 unbeatable for few years to come !
Just purchased a 6 pro from a 2 XL. Best phone I had so far and hope that gets taken over by the 6! Potential of 6 is there, looking forward to more updates.
WOWWWW the pixel 6 held up really well!!! Computational photography on phones are getting crazy good! Haha I have no idea how to action pam shots on the camera! I can't imagine how hard it is! Really awesome video Tom! 😁
I have a lot of experience on how the Gcam works (i have made mods and ports of it for other Non google smartphones), and i got all of them right because of one simple thing, the High Dynamic Range algorithm coded in the Gcam present on almost all the Pixel phones tends to be a little bit agressive, wich ends up creating harsher contrasts all over the picture...
I could archive similar if not same quality results on my old Xiaomi mi 8 lite by using night mode all the time if during the day... I'm not sure if it's works like that since I changed my phone
I didn't try to pick the camera used for each shot, I just picked the photo I preferred. In each case you told me it was the pixel 6. My goodness, Wow!
as a pixel 6 user i have to say that the overall quality of the photos has improved since the last 2 updates, especially photos shot during the night. portrait mode is still buggy though🙄😂 awesome video!
Interestingly , the portrait mode was the easier one for me to identify, but yikes, amazing how close your cell phone is getting something so close to a 5k rig.
The comparison shots weren't much of a challenge. Images out of cameras like the EOS have tended to be a tad on the soft side, favoring a post-production workflow where the user can be more fully in control of sharpening, among other things. In each side-by-side the image that appears sharper is the Pixel 6.
I was able to guess the Pixel 6 almost immediately because of how sharp everything was in the image, that style is not for everyone but I like it a lot
I foolishly bought the Sony Xperia I mkIII last year on the strength of it's camera. The quality was so disappointing, I've cashed in early to get a pixel 6 pro. What a revelation it is. Seems impossible to take a bad looking picture and there's no effort in it at all. Google have really moved the game along and I don't think they're getting the credit they deserve for it
I've heard the Sony's is amazing, is it really not that good? Yeah I'm honestly so impressed with the Pixel. So many good shots! The telephoto on the pro must be nice
@@ItsTomRich You had to put so much effort into getting an average picture, when your fellow snappers where aceing it with OnePlus 6's and nondescript Samsung's, it made you want to cry.
Basically the Sony's are using HW photography than Computational like the pixel does. So your getting the pitfalls of having a phone camera small (sensor + lens) along with the complexity of the dslr.
The one picture I got wrong was picture two, of the bust. Once I knew I was wrong about that one, all the others were easy to pick out. The Pixel 6 may have some slight artifacts here and there, but in general it makes the EOS R6 look blurry in comparison. It's just captures such amazingly sharply defined details. Is it overly sharp? Perhaps. Maybe it looks even sharper than real life, but it sure as heck looks impressive. Honestly, while the optics on proper SLRs are obviously better, the progress in digital sensors, image processing etc. is moving at such a rate, that smartphones these days take much better pictures than they have any right to do.
Good video! I would have loved you showing more photo's at 100% resolution. The main reason I bought a mirrorless camera was that, zoomed in, smartphone images look awfully unnatural and have many artifacts. This would also show you the resolution difference, and the R6's ability to crop into the image way better than a smartphone.
I got all right: Once you realize the pixel kind off "over sharpens" the images, it's easy to see that the more smooth looking images come from the R6. But great video, this really makes me wonder if I should consider getting a real camera or just use my phone 🙃
I am buying pixel 6. I am impressed, actually, I don’t like sharpness as well in smartphone so you can use raw phones option in the camera app then you can edit it as well. Then it would look even greater. I am planning that. I will be using the pixel’s gallery editing as I have basic editing skills only. I tried photoshop and it felt super complex🤣
Thanks, currently don’t have the money and just to tell you, I am an iPhone fan and iPhone 13 did amazing this year but iPhones are same always and I wanted something unique with amazing software, camera and performance so I looked pixel 6 series and I got amazed. Plus cheaper and checks my lists. How’s the battery life on the pixel 6, which is your daily driver, isn’t it?
Word to the wise: *don't*. The Pixel 6 is notoriously buggy and defective in both software & hardware. A blend of half-baked Android updates, Google's notorious QC and cost-cutting measures.
Got all of them right. As a mirrorless user myself the oversharpened and high contrast photos were a dead giveaway. And for the portrait mode the pixel has the whole subject in focus whereas a dark has a small area that it can focus.
I missed the first shot when I looked for contrast, but then when I started to look for sharpness and bokeh I nailed them all, but if I had been looking for images to print I had selected you DSLR photos, but for screen viewing I liked the harder sharpening even it was a tad too aggressive. Great photos and this video made me more sure that I did order the correct camera, sadly it is not sold in Sweden so the delivery time may be hellish long.
Your use of creative techniques and innovative perspectives in showcasing phone camera features sets your reviews apart. It's refreshing to see such artistic flair in evaluating tech devices, making your content stand out. Keep doing what you're doing. 💪❤
Great video. Very interesting. It looks like the Canon R6 images could have a little more contrast, or perhaps to push the black point slightly, and some sharpening added. I think I preferred all of the Pixel 6 images! Thanks. Keep up the good work.
you really can spot the difference with the sharpness but in other departments they are quite comparable. i just like that phone shots arent just outright bad and it much more depends on your taste of how a shot looks like
Hello Tom ..I'm a creator myself. I shut down my old phone review channel. Started over by saving money to buy music gear to start a TH-cam guitar channel. Since I moved from drums 27 years to 2018 picking up guitar. I've been sadly limited to a phone for everything. I hope to one day find a second hand DSLR and lights. The pixel 4xl is my most recent handset. Thought about newer iPhone but that's the price of a DSLR. Hahah. Anyway great content man.
Pixel is amazing like most high-end smartphones, gives you the finished photo, camera requires post production, here's why of the results. the big difference is that the camera can print very large photos, photo paintings or even wall prints, the smartphone only photos for social media
Sometime the photo caught by the pixel is over process and sometimes the portrait mode is just not better . I think google must do their best in making good phone with cheaper price but with better camera mp and not using the old ones and i think google achieve it on their new phone and they needed to make their phone for advance from other . Nice review, keep up the work
I own a Pixel 6 and a mirrorless apsc camera. Both have their merits and the Pixel is fine for snapshots, but there really is an appreciable difference in photo quality for most types of shots. I think the bigger story is how much the average person doesn't care about the difference, and even prefers the oversharpened and oversaturated look of a phone. Edit: I got 6 of 7, missed the bust shot. Sweet looking pixel photo their lol, until you pointed out it's mistake at least :)
Yes the average person does prefer the oversaturated/over sharpened picture, it makes the professional cameras almost silly because photographers clientele are regular plp, you know?
Pixel pro owner here. Pixed does good but in this video the photos taken with 5k camera are jsut horrible because of blur. Was the camera not focused? Even my 250D 700$ camera setup does better.
The progress computational photography in smart phones has made within just a few years is amazing. No need for normal people to schlep around their heavy DSLRs on holidays any more.
I wonder why the 5000$ camera doesn't compete with Google pixel 6 I guess here is the key advantage Google got there is processor and data if we professional photographer just go with the professional camera you can just play with it and if you are dude like 99% of the people just go with the Google pixel
ahh, it's very easy to figure out actually in the portrait mode shots because canon photos were a little bit zoomed in while pixel was much wider / furthermore FOV and pixel photos are much sharper, with higher contrast and details than the canon ones, so it was very ez for me and I don't own any of these devices.
I own the pixel 6pro and I use my DSLR to shoot images. I can honestly say the pixel 6pro has an amazing camera. I can take a pic with the pixel 6pro upload it to my photo editor and one would never know the pic was taken with a cell phone.
another dead giveaway between an actual camera and a smartphone is just how sharp smoe of the details are. like in shot 4 for example, the details of the reflection on the building in front of the camera is a lot sharper for the pixel 6
Thanks Tom, for this great comparison, as the owner of a Sony A6000, I have a lot of decisions to make. I have already spent mone on buying extra lenses.
One last question if you don't mind. How often you used the pro features 0n the samsung s22 ultra smartphone. Why I ask. I phone 13 don't have pro mode . Is it a disadvantage? Thanks
So I'm now in doubt between a fujifilm xt4 or a pixel 6. So that little camera on a phone is just as good as those big fat expensive lenses on DSLRs? Saves a lot of money and dragging
I'm late to the game, as I've only just bought a Pixel 6. I know precisely bugger all about photography and can't seem to take a bad shot. I will never take modern technology for granted.
I use a Pixel 6 and was immediately able to accurately tell which one's which in all the photos. But in 2:11 and 7:17, really made me think twice with that chromatic aberration... Also, the portrait mode performance was at its peak on their Pixel 4 lineup (Dual pixel + dual cameras). I am not even sure whether Google maintains that same level on the Pixel 5 and 6 ever since that 2x telephoto was gone.
Hier my thoughts: I have pixel pro 6 and Fuji mirror less with 85/f1.8 lens. It can't replace DSLR. But sometimes in ideal conditions pixel produce very good images. When some manufacturer would produce phone with 35mm and 85mm lenses (Nubia, axton 40 ultra) than maybe. Smartphones have mostly wide angle and therefore distortion. For me this is no go for people photography. Also portrait mode: google pixel is doing a crop, and cropped images are not so good. They should, like is said add 35mm and 85-105mm and add portrait mode with this native lenses and than we can talk about. Pixel pro 6 has periskope lens which produce nice images without blur, and if you try to add blur the result is not very good.
As a Canon shooter, have to say I prefer the Pixel photos, sadly whilst being tempted by the 7 pro, can't get a UK 512gb model and the fact it is Google means I'll never buy one, a shame as the camera results look amazing.
I have long thought that my iPhone SE is my go-to camera, always with me, pocketable, capable, and competent. My old EOS hasn't been out of the bag in 5 years. The body and lenses were a waste of money, it seems.
I got all of them correctly because smartphone photos are very obviously oversharpened. Is it possible to adjust settings in a smartphone to make the sharpening just a bit less intense? If not, that would be a good feature to add to the photo app. A little less sharp and a little lass HDR.
if you use a mod version of the camera app on the pixel you can control nearly every part of the image, including sharpness. seems counter intuitive I know, but it's the same google camera app modified to allow greater control.
@@ItsTomRich it's called MWP mod I think. you can install it alongside the stock one if you use the cloned version. the other thing you can do is set the video bit rate to 100. which is way higher than the stock camera.
To actually compare photos from a camera with images taken by a phone, you have no choise but to shoot in raw and use lightroom to its full potential. because while you have the option on the camera, you can't choose to NOT have them edited on your phone.
I had a real easy time guessing the Pixel 6 for the portraits, because the procedural blur looks different than real blur (not saying better or worse, just different). For the non-portrait ones I just had to guess that the one that "looks better" is the Pixel, since the software is amazing at making photos "look good".
As others have said, this is a comparison in which the pixel obviously will shine a lot, I think the competition gets way more interesting when you pair that R6 with a 85mm and a 35mm. I use the samyang 85mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.8 RF, you can absolutely blow the pixel's capabilities for actual photography with those two, and there's also the subject of external light. I work as an event photographer and the biggest differentiator for my photos and the ugly cellphone ones the people invited take, appart from the quality of lens etc, is lighting. The quality and potency of an off camera flash makes a huuuge difference in those settings! and it's probably the thing that phone photographers will never adapt, as it breaks the convenience of just bringing your phone to the event lol
Something is wrong with your camera ... there is no way any phone that exists today beats my A6400 + Sigma F1.4 prime lenses on sharpness and detail ... without even needing to compare side by side ... most of your R6 photos just look very blurry and with fringing ... like the photo on 2:42 what the hell it's like you somehow managed to blur it by motion, which I don't understand how during a day and with no ND and its not even as if you just chose low F, because absolutely nothing in that shot is in focus great phones are very close to good cameras today, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference when viewed on a phone display, but if you view on 4k monitor then they still lose
This was so easy lol. Pixel HDR+ algorithm is a dead giveaway and a professional camera has very natural blur compared to any smartphone. Just ordered my P6 😁
If you did a blind study and not identify what camera took what shot, most people would choose the Pixel 6 from your examples. Once you tell them one shot was with a $5k camera, they will be biased. The SLRs are necessary for certain applications like high speed, sports, mega zooms, but Google and most smartphones have surpassed what SLRs can do at this point.
2:27 "very very similar shots" Not even in the slightest. Even when we discount the obvious over-sharpening, the transition into highlights at top of the dome, basically doesn't exist for the phone. It makes it look flat and plastic. There could be a setting to change that, but I will never know, because this video seems more concerned with hyping a phone for general consumers than discussing its place in a photographer's toolkit. I don't demand peeping for every pixel, but a photographer needs to know the exact limitations of a tool to decide when (not) to use it. Don't just give a sales pitch saying that something is super pleasing. Lay out the differences and limitations of the technology.
every photo is obvious. the overproccesed fake background blur the overly warm white balance, the wider lens making the background look extremely different between the 2 cameras.
@@ItsTomRich i think phones just have that over-done HDR/saturation thing. Quite noticeable if you use a camera a lot but its still great quality! And weird same 🤣
Oh yes. I am proud of myself cause I got every 7 Pics right. Espacially because the last one was really hard, but when I made that right I was very pleased. Chaka 💪🎉
Amazing review (watched it before this )and comparison i really didnt think pixel was this good. Im looking for a new phone now and i was thinking of getting s22+ xiaomi mi 12 pro and then I realized that i could actually get pixel in my country and now im just sold. Thanks for the review ps I did get them all pixel pics were just sharper. Should of made it more difficult. :)

All of them
@@brendanvista Nice nice 😎
Four.
Not bad! Which did you struggle with?
None lol
Honestly, as a Pixel 6 owner it's easy to spot each one as the Pixel tends to apply sharpening/structure enhancement for details.
It definitely does haha
I can't believe how good the Pixel 6 looks here! 😮
Got it all right, Pixel is consistently sharper, no idea if you consider it oversharpened, but I like it.

Ace video Tom, nice and clear and really well explained. Just to clarify, was that the straight Pixel 6 or the Pro version?
Yes the normal pixel :)
The pixel is good, but it has its limitations. A DSLR and lenses has capabilities the pixel doesn’t, but the pixel is good for portability.
guessed all the Pixel 6 photos correctly. They just look better. A downside for me of the Pixel 6 is the big size and no headphone jack.

I got all of them correctly because smartphone photos are very obviously oversharpened. Is it possible to adjust settings in a smartphone to make the sharpening just a bit less intense? If not, that would be a good feature to add to the photo app. A little less sharp and a little lass HDR.
Haha this is spot on and exactly what I want to see!
For me the pixel 6was better mainly in the statue pic. Damn why should anyone get a $5000 camera when pixel does the job so well
A dead giveaway for the Pixel is the extra sharpening applied to photos. Most times it works out excellently, but sometimes it's too much.
100% agreed, can't wait to see a phone that uses much more natural sharpening algorithms, hopefully soon!
if you use a mod version of the camera app on the pixel you can control nearly every part of the image, including sharpness. seems counter intuitive I know, but it's the same google camera app modified to allow greater control.
I may test this out
@@ItsTomRich it's called MWP mod I think. you can install it alongside the stock one if you use the cloned version. the other thing you can do is set the video bit rate to 100. which is way higher than the stock camera.
Sick thanks 👊👏
To actually compare photos from a camera with images taken by a phone, you have no choise but to shoot in raw and use lightroom to its full potential. because while you have the option on the camera, you can't choose to NOT have them edited on your phone.
Staring at shot number 7 and I literally can't tell. Wow. How are the raws on the pixel 6?
They're decent yeah!! Not a ton of editing latitude but they are pretty good.
please zoom in to make us watch this photos quality more clearly😬
I had a real easy time guessing the Pixel 6 for the portraits, because the procedural blur looks different than real blur (not saying better or worse, just different). For the non-portrait ones I just had to guess that the one that "looks better" is the Pixel, since the software is amazing at making photos "look good".
When Pixel 6a is going to release? Any idea
As others have said, this is a comparison in which the pixel obviously will shine a lot, I think the competition gets way more interesting when you pair that R6 with a 85mm and a 35mm. I use the samyang 85mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.8 RF, you can absolutely blow the pixel's capabilities for actual photography with those two, and there's also the subject of external light. I work as an event photographer and the biggest differentiator for my photos and the ugly cellphone ones the people invited take, appart from the quality of lens etc, is lighting. The quality and potency of an off camera flash makes a huuuge difference in those settings! and it's probably the thing that phone photographers will never adapt, as it breaks the convenience of just bringing your phone to the event lol
Pixel 6 is good options or not...iam using one plus9r can i go with pixel6??
Something is wrong with your camera ... there is no way any phone that exists today beats my A6400 + Sigma F1.4 prime lenses on sharpness and detail ... without even needing to compare side by side ... most of your R6 photos just look very blurry and with fringing ... like the photo on 2:42 what the hell it's like you somehow managed to blur it by motion, which I don't understand how during a day and with no ND and its not even as if you just chose low F, because absolutely nothing in that shot is in focus
great phones are very close to good cameras today, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference when viewed on a phone display, but if you view on 4k monitor then they still lose
I have a Pixel 6, and I shot in raw, and edit in Lightroom Mobile, the raw photos look better then the JPG photos
Woow thanks you so much for this comparison...do you know if is possible to take long exposure photo with google pixel 6a?
I can test this for you today!
@@ItsTomRich it will be fantastic! Thanks mate.. Keep me posted! 🙏
Wow, those Pixel 6 shots look better every single time. :p And much more convenient and absurdly cheaper, too.
Bro I'm using pixel 6, it's night photography are insane to me.
Hi, can I take underwater photos with Google Pixel 6? (Like 2~4 cm under water)
No I don't think it's possible without attachments
This was so easy lol. Pixel HDR+ algorithm is a dead giveaway and a professional camera has very natural blur compared to any smartphone. Just ordered my P6 😁
I have the pixel 6 pro and i'm not always happy with over sharpening.
If you did a blind study and not identify what camera took what shot, most people would choose the Pixel 6 from your examples. Once you tell them one shot was with a $5k camera, they will be biased. The SLRs are necessary for certain applications like high speed, sports, mega zooms, but Google and most smartphones have surpassed what SLRs can do at this point.
2:27 "very very similar shots"
Not even in the slightest. Even when we discount the obvious over-sharpening, the transition into highlights at top of the dome, basically doesn't exist for the phone. It makes it look flat and plastic. There could be a setting to change that, but I will never know, because this video seems more concerned with hyping a phone for general consumers than discussing its place in a photographer's toolkit.
I don't demand peeping for every pixel, but a photographer needs to know the exact limitations of a tool to decide when (not) to use it. Don't just give a sales pitch saying that something is super pleasing. Lay out the differences and limitations of the technology.
every photo is obvious. the overproccesed fake background blur the overly warm white balance, the wider lens making the background look extremely different between the 2 cameras.
I wonder what sort of camera could be made if Google/Apple/Samsung could combine powers with Canon/Nikon/Sony 🙀
due to me using the g cam i got all the photos right, the pixel is a bit darker and has sort of a warmer look! which just gives it away
Good guessing bruh 👊
@@ItsTomRich Thanks mate
Great video man! But why USD 😬 Had to google that shit 👀🤣🤣
Also the r6 is the one with way less saturation most of the time! Can tell the phone over saturation a mile off
Yeah 100% on saturation, that really is quite noticeable! And dollars is just biggsst audience really 🥹 only like 10% of my audience is UK haha
@@ItsTomRich i think phones just have that over-done HDR/saturation thing. Quite noticeable if you use a camera a lot but its still great quality! And weird same 🤣
Oh yes. I am proud of myself cause I got every 7 Pics right. Espacially because the last one was really hard, but when I made that right I was very pleased. Chaka 💪🎉
Amazing review (watched it before this )and comparison i really didnt think pixel was this good. Im looking for a new phone now and i was thinking of getting s22+ xiaomi mi 12 pro and then I realized that i could actually get pixel in my country and now im just sold.
Thanks for the review
ps I did get them all pixel pics were just sharper. Should of made it more difficult. :)
I've got a pixel 6 and use the camera all the time, I thought it was easy ngl
I have this phone. It overheats and drains the battery.
It doesn't for me, this is an issue though it seems to be massively inconsistent product for different people
I returned my pixel 6 pro and went back to my samsung 20 ultra. My samsung is just on another level than the pixel.
Am I the only one who preferred more of the pixel 6 photos?
