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.

Good.
Colors is natural.
Good, but not so good compared to the Nexus 5X. The photo tends to be a little to dark in the mid-tones, and does not seem to be very sharp.
I think the camera really stinks.
The auto focus is slow, and taking pictures indoors is a waste of time.
Capturing anything moving is hopeless.
Came from a Galaxy S7, and compared to the old Samsung , the Nokia 8 falls apart at least at the camera.
I tried the google camera yesterday and it seems to do a better job than Nokia stock camera. Pictures are sharper and heaps better with auto HDR+ always on.
What settings do you have in goole cam?
Google camera hdr+
Can someone please put few images they shot? (like the park, outdoors on nice weather etc)
There
In low light
Some pictures taken with google camera and some opencamera.
See how google camera app makes wierd stripes on left side of picture.
Awesome thanks for the images, I am not really impressed with them :/, I hopped for something on par with the latest Lumia's dang, well hoping for a miracle (either an update, or Nokia 9) ^^.
I think its compressed quite bit when uploading, i noticed that pics are not same quality.
Looks better when i move it to pc.

Can you please show a very low light photo with long shutter speed? Thanks mate for other photos.
Here you go, dont know why shutter speed did not go longer.
Better one...
Wierd, cant go exposure +1 seconds.
Maybe update will fix that.
Is the long shutter speed hardware limited?
Have a Galxy s6 right now. In a comparison between the Galaxy S6 and the Nokia 8 what would be better in the camera department
If the Indian version had 6GB RAM i would have gotten the phone immediately.
I think i cannot give neutral response for that...i say nokia, as you can see.
The native camera app is not so good but maybe oreo update will fix that i hope.
When using google camera port or opencamera the images are better than honor 8.
2 pics
1 with opencamera
2 google hdr+ zsl

I'm not a great photographer but the photos I've taken have been ok. The main complaint I have is how badly the lens skews the image on the edges. It's pretty bad.
I wish the world was in a better state and I wasn't sick so I could take more pic samples.
Wish this had spot metering. But LG as usual has had software that takes away from a good camera.
I love the results when using in the manual mode. The histogram is a big plus.
My main complaint is even upright my photos seem to end up being rotated.
LG Software still struggling "mosaic" post-production below average light condition, but night mode is quite good! Not app, just effects. Right now I'm testing some Gcam distros, from yesterday - UltraCVM prepared for Mi 9T (both of them works with 64mpx sensors).
Is there anyway to use 3d photos like on Facebook?
The main reason for the V60 is awesome manual photo/video controls. The phone does well for auto modes in good lighting, but they are still over aggressive with noise reduction that causes the water color effect (also apparent in the V20 I had prior, so this just how LG wants it). HDR works well, but doesn't always get the white balance right and wish I could use it while also having some manual control. I also wish they would've went with a straight up 16MP main sensor. Shooting at 64MP is no better than the binned 16MP option, and often worse.
I did "stress test" the camera the other day. I prefer long exposure photos and these were from a couple nights ago. I was limited on time and location, so pardon the motion blur in the light painting photos. But still... Let's see Gcam do this!
Couldn't you tell what sensor V60 camera is based on? Thnx
64 MP shots in bright outdoor settings are amazing on this phone. Definitely an underrated camera by most reviewers imo.
Random shots + Basic Snapseed correction.

Photos are over sharpened. The loss of details are very noticeable. The front camera has this wierd effect where it makes the skin smooth even with the option turned off. A bit of over saturation too in some cases. Things improve a bit in the pro mode. HDR sometimes messes up the pictures. Didn't notice lag in camera interface. Installed the first OTA.
I will waiting live review to i am get overall about this phone camera
Hi
In my opinion photos are good but depending of chosen camera.
The standard pics are good, the telephoto ones are excellent, the wide angle acceptable, the 64Mpx are "you must see them by distance"...
Night pics with integrated app are acceptable, but even with tripod mode are dark in the very night; but with a more specialized camera (camera FV5 lite) i did 30 secs exposures and got acceptable pics of fireflies.
And there's also a wordking Gcam which can usa telephoto and wide angle cameras.
Personally i'm quite satisfied for the price range.
P.S. i had a OTA in middle may.
On a stock camera, the raw format is of poor quality. Strong vignette and strong pink tint all over the frame. The red channel is swamped. This is difficult to correct in raw converters. For example, on Moto G9 Plus (same basic module), raw is of better quality. The tech support sends it to the service center. Does this mean I have to take every device to a service center?
I propose to add to the "Expert" mode, as well as saving in raw and for telephoto lens.
Also in the "Expert" I propose to add a 64 megapixel mode with manual settings.
About noise modulation in the video, already all who care to write. But nothing changes. On the test RUI2.0 noise modulation is not fixed.
Realme 6 Pro for Russia.

It's Not bad ? and perfect for an cheap phone !
Yes I can take it for a trip and make slefies to save
If you are an instagram influencer that needs absolute top-tier camera quality for selfies, this phone's camera may not be for you. However, if you will only use the camera for memories, it's good, there's wide lens, macro lens and slow-mo camera. They may not have the best quality, but it's very good for a budget phone.
macro is very good(5MP) considering the price.main camera is also good as it is only 13MP.it lacks details though.....
In my opinion the camera is not too bad for everyday use, but when we need it for photography purposes we still need to use an editing application because it lacks detail and sometimes there is visible noise.
Stock camera app produces mediocre photos without great clarity. With Gcam from Gcamator, photo sharpness and overall quality is highly improved on the main sensor. Night mode in gcam is far superior to miui night mode. Unfortunately gcam does not support use for the ultrawide or macro lenses (my macro camera is broken anyways, maybe that's why). I'd use gcam for normal photos, night mode photos and selfies. You'd be forced to use stock or some other 3rd party app for ultrawide, macro and other features such as panorama, slo-mo and timelapse as they arent supported on gcam.

So, I reverted the photo app to ver.7.x.x and even in poor lighting conditions(cloudy, 1/2 an hour to sunset) the pics look better than w/ the latest version.(better details on rocks surface, tree trunks etc...)

what you did not like in v.8? I saw the HDR is always on (on my previous Pixel 3a XL it was a choice)..
I thought the pictures were lacking sharpness and contrast, well it's an arbitrary, subjective opinion, but i think the pics look better after switching the app to older version.

@mzsquared - interesting .. if you have direct comparable pictures will be good to see
Here's a couple photos of the jupiter/saturn conjunction the other night. I turned on night mode, the camera turned on astrophotography mode automatically. I had the phone resting against the car spoiler during the one minute exposure to keep it as stable as possible.

Missed the conjunction due to cloudy nights, got Orion/Betelgeuse tonight:
ultrawide photo from my P4a5g, coming from P2XL , photoquality is very good and ultrawide is nice bonus.
