Camera speed in low light with flash is terrible. Hopefully an update can improve it in the future

and without flash? better? tx

Without flash it's pretty quick

Front Camera with the flash is super terrible.
Back Camera with the flash is kind of okay, HDR+ enhanced is also a pain right now.
Night sight camera port is also not as good.
All of the photos in low light have a lot of noise in both camera apps with or without night sight.
I am using a Pixel 3(Clearly white)

The camera app launches fast enough. But I'm seeing lag when I take photos.
It's definitely not as fast taking photos compared to the GS7 (my previous phone), which is disappointing.
It's still very annoying that the camera quick launch only goes to "Superior" auto mode.
Taking pictures using the dedicated shutter button even slower. I use the on screen button instead.

For me, launching the camera is nearly instant. I've been able to take at least ten photos in about 25 seconds with little blur. I'll admit that's in daylight or other well lit instances.
Even in low light, I can snap at least a couple of photos quickly and gain some usable photos. I can thank the image stabilizer, and f1.8 aperture for that.
The Moto Gestures for the camera is a godsend. (Twist twice to open the camera app.) I can take candids with this phone with ease and the read-write capability of the phone is extremely quick.
the app is fast to launch, but there is often shutter lag. I was walking around taking pictures and noticed I had a few shots of the ground as I lowered the phone too soon!

I'm spoilt. I've been using my pixel 2 XL since March. I work in a dog park where I look after and play with lots of dogs. Part of my job is to take lots of photos, nice portraits but mostly candids while the dogs are playing.
My pixel has developed a fault so I'm sending it away under warranty and I've bought the Motorola One because of the unlimited Google photos which is great.
However, today, whilst I've had a couple of lucky shots, mostly I've taken pictures of a field where a dog had been 2 seconds before . Not every photo took 2 seconds, some where half that time and quite a few took even longer than that.
I'm a bit disappointed to be honest, I might give it another go tomorrow if it's a nice bright day but I'm not holding out much hope.
The quality of the photos aren't too bad at all and for the price of the phone if be happy if they just didn't take so long to take.

In menu "Advanced features" you can set "Quick launch camera" by quickly pressing the Power key twice.
It works really well for instant shots but depending of the conditions sometimes the autofocus just wonders.
Today I found working version of gcam for our phone and boy, does it focus instantly even in dark places. Why the hel this app is not in place of the current default camera app.
There is also the function "Magnifier" which uses the rear camera and zooms really descend with stable focus. The app have few and clear buttons. I`m not sure but I suspect it`s using not the main cam but the wide one because of the minimal focus distance. Anyway, my grandma was impressed of how practical was.
Belgarionbg, can you tell me where to download gcam for our phone?
Thank you.
We already have a thread for it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/themes/pixel-camera-port-t3863094 and you can find links in my post under #5
Currently I have tested all exynos builds but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk is fully functional without crashing.
The only problem is that it shoots only in 8MP even if 24MP are selected. But it`s fast as hell.

Camera takes a long time to focus resulting in missed or blurry shots.

Makes sense. It is not equipped with Phase detection autofocus.

That's a bummer considering that cheaper phones have it these days.
