Night photos - apps and samples (needed) - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello. Before I buy Moto G5+, I'd like to see how night photos taken by G5+ look like. Maybe to take night photos you recommend another camera app with longer exposure time?

Real quick camera comparison between S6 and G4

I just got the LG G4 and I wanted to see how a quick cropped picture would compare against the S6 Edge I've been using since Feb. This is the first picture I took after taking the G4 out of the box. I took 2, one with each phone from the same position and then cropped in quite a bit to see the difference. I'm throughly surprised.
Order of pictures.
S6, uncropped
LG, uncropped
S6, cropped
LG, cropped
(please excuse my dusty computer!)
I am now adding in full photos to my Google Drive of both the S6 and G4 - I would sort by name so it's easy to compare. LG shots will always come first then S6 https://drive.google.com/folderview...VqVTd3VjRNRzR3UnE3RF9VUVhJVU1lY1k&usp=sharing
Right now there are 12 each up there . I will upload lowlight/night ones as it gets dark. I am EST
update: 8pm - Now 20 pictures

Try taking one on auto and one in manual in G4 too. You ll see. I think G4 rock compare to my G3 too.

Night shots on g3 is quite bad. I'm pretty sure g4 delivers a major improvement over it.
What I would really want to see is night shots comparison between g4 and any lumia pureview.

The Lumia phone is basically a camera that can make calls. Nothing will beat the Lumia but this is the next best thing after.
Low light photos have been posted to the link in the first post. I also have two photos on here taken at midnight. The s6 didn't capture anything. The G4 actually got the big dipper and all the other stars
Thanks man you just made my day. Some paid reviewers were talking S6 over G4.

Are these photos taken in auto or did you change the shutter speed for the G4?

All auto except the stars two
Very nice comparison! I'll get my G4 monday,woaaa,can't wait.... By the way, I miss the S6's 'autofocus tracking' feature - would be really good on moving objects.

what do you think about the s7edge camera?

just came back from a trip in which took many photos with my S7E (isocell sensor)
went over photos a hour ago and while some close photos look great i noticed that far landscape photos are not that great also many photos tend to turn out over sharpened/exposed/saturated and lack detail
also is it wise to leave the auto hdr on i think it acted a little to aggressive maybe it ruined some of the shoots
heres some samples...

tell me what you think of their quality
i personally feel like s6 had the better camera except for lowlight and closeups

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto G5S Plus 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!
Images are not very sharp. If you are looking for good camera, look for another device. Panorama mode has low resolution, even when camera is 13MPx panoramas are usually smaller than that. You can fix this by changing camera application. But this only helps with panorama. But overall image sharpens will not improve with any app.
Post capture processing really sucks!!!
Is there any way to disable it?
Agreed about the post processing - makes pictures very soft. Colour rendition is really good. White balance, contrast, dynamic range all reasonable. Focus a bit slow but ok. Correctly exposing for backlit subjects pretty good.
Video is good, except sometimes looks like it's lacking in bitrate. Will try OpenCamera and see if I can tweak this.
Overall rating: 5 out of 10. Would go to 7 if Moto fix the image softness.
Can anyone post some pictures taken with this phone. I have a Galaxy S5 and I'm looking for an upgrade.
Anyone checked the latest moto camera 2 version?
I think picture quality is still the same but there is reduction in yellowish tint(i dont like yellowish pics)....
I'm impressed with the dynamic range and colours, which seem to be very good. The main issues with the camera are lack of detail and poor low light performance. I'd imagine the first one is fixable via software but I have doubts about the sensors low light ability.
Overall photos are well exposed and colours are good, but my main issue is grainy images when you zoom in on photos.
This camera is horrid. Granted, I'm coming from a 6p, but found some pics taken with my old old droid x, and they were miles ahead of this thing they call a camera. Time to break out the d5100 again!
The camera is disgusting. I was so ambitious about the camera and it disappointed me miserably.
I don't know what some of you are expecting. Its the best phone in the mid-range, compared to its specifications. BUT somewhere the missing money, becomes visible. In this phone its the cam. The cam is useful if enough light is present.
In a potratit mode camera work properly
How much time take and focus proper work after every update
In a custom ROM camera work proper with every mode
Whoops. Delete my post.
For some reason I got confused and posted about how impressed I am with the photos from my Moto G5+ here, I didn't realize it was the section for the newer S model until after posting.
I've heard the dual camera thing with the S hasn't been so great in the real world, and the sensor in the regular G5+ (which is similar to the one found in the Galaxy S7) may actually be capable of better shots. But I think its because Moto is weird about the software that runs the camera, with over-processing and highlight clipping that can be avoided with better software. Using an app that handles Camera2 makes a huge difference on the G5+, which I was originally posting about until I realized I'm in the wrong place. Sorry guys!
The problem with the camera in this phone is almost 100% software. The automatic settings of the Moto camera app generate horrible photos.
Look at your photo information (when viewing the photo in Google Photos, tap the "i" icon at the bottom) and specifically note the ISO. With this sensor hardware anything over ISO400 is going to be relatively unusable (mottled/blurry detail/sharpness with image noise). If you shoot the same photo in "Professional Mode" manually setting the ISO (at or below ISO400) and the shutter speed, the results are actually quite acceptable, if not even very good.
The flash on this camera is a much more natural color (somewhere in the 2000k range rather than the usual bright white LED >5000k), so using the flash (when feasible) in combination with better manual settings will also help.
Even using manual settings there's still some post-processing fickery going on, but that's still all software. I wish Moto would add an option to turn post-processing off. I think they don't have that option though because most people use the camera in fully automatic mode and the pictures would be REALLY bad if they weren't post-processed when using that mode.

Any better flashing a custom Rom or different camera app?
Hi, a friend's of mine buy the moto g5s plus thinking it's gona be better for the photo of the moto g4 he still have.
Result that the photo are not so good, moto g4 it's better.
But someone have already try to install a custom Rom on the moto g5 plus, maybe with Oreo, and result any improvement on the camera and photo?
Or try a different mod for the camera app that result in a improvement for the camera?
If anyone have try that way and can share it's result and opinion about it I will appreciated. My friend don't want to avoid the warranty of the phone for nothing.
Thanks.

Are you talking about g5 plus or g5s plus? Because you mention the one with the s.
Hi, yeah I'm talking about the moto g5s plus. I saw in the xda forum that are present a tread about camera mods, and for use those mod need to enable the full access to API2 cam. But looks like that the main problem with the moto g5s plus camera it's not solved in that way.
For that I though that maybe install a custom Rom, possibly with Oreo, helps or solve the camera issue, considering that the real problem it's software not the hardware. There are many Rom with Oreo to try, for that I'll ask if someone already try that way and get the problem solved, or better wait for an official update from motorola-lenovo and see if they solve.
in low light conditions the result is really bad, with the light discrete but not excelled
Camera is mid range and awfull fotos.... For me isn't very good. Videos are much better

? with gcam
Taken with gcam on g5+ I had my A7RII with me on this trip, but took some shots with my phone as well because the HDR+ effect in camera is just THAT good.
Even records raw so I can edit later, but these are straight out of camera. Have some great shots even in lower indoor light from the trip, but they are of family members I'd rather not post on the internet. Even compared to my "real" pro camera, if used properly this is capable of some excellent shots.

Cameras battle: HTC-U11 vs iPhone8

Hi all,
It's here! There is only one winner... yet, I will not spoil your surprise! Before I let you judge for yourself just a couple of technicalities:
IMAG*** pictures are HTC Camera
IMG_201710*** pictures are Google Camera either v4.0 (for daylight pictures) or v3.8c (modded for night HDR)
IMG_*** pictures are iPhone 8 Camera or ProCamera v10.3.2 (695) for iOS or ProCam v10.0.2 for iOS
95% of all shots are HDR (forced) the rest are proprietary mods from ProCamera and ProCam apps.

So.... ENJOY!

I tested many Google camera mode and use this : GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.4
Because in this mod , portrait and hdr+ is working and also motion auto in some config

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Poco X2 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).

Day time outdoor photography.
High res photos from the 64MP camera results in photos sized over 50MB (not uploaded here).
Low light outdoor photography.
Captured during an evening stroll around 6.30-7 PM.
Stock cam + LR
Stability
Does poco x2 have ois and eis?

No OIS. EIS yes
Night Mode on stock camera is unacceptable. Noisy, rough, lacking detail, and artifacts everywhere. I use Google Camera for almost everything except Video recording(because gcam port is not fully working yet). The sideways photo is from the stock camera.
8 out of 10
Camera hardware is there but software is lacking.
Image processing is good but it struggles in low-light.
Google camera shows what the hardware is capable of and it's very good. Front camera is also good, but still struggles in low-light. Also, beauty mode is on by default which is just ridiculous.
Yeah i have forgotten that stock application even exists. Lat time I was using miui, tha cam also had contrast and sharpness. It doesn't now. Gcam is quite good at pushing the limits
Which gcam are you all using?
Huge noise in night time shots unless you have a tripod and your object is stable.
I had a bad experience while clicking photos at my friend's birthday. I tried every settings to capture low light photos but every photo has noise and faces are blur like hell. Very disappointed.

These pictures are great! Are you using the original stock rom or any custom rom?
The day I bought the phone, we took some pictures are we were very very happy with the picture quality. Then after one month I installed custom rom (EvolutionX / crDroid) and I noticed that the picture quality is not that great, not satisfactory . It doesn't matter which camera app I use, the result is not satisfactory.
