Pixel 8 Pro - Photographer's Review

The Google Pixel 8 Pro probably has the best cameras of any Android smartphone out right now. The RAW files paired with the 50mp mode from all 3 cameras produce photos that look like they were shot from a real camera. However, it's not perfect and there are still some critical drawbacks that prevent it from being perfect. Watch the full video for some street and travel POV footage, as well as some pixel peeping in lightroom!

I looked at millions of reviews because I'm undecided between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Pixel 8 Pro. This is definitely the best review ever made and what I was exactly looking for, even if I'm more undecided than before 🌠

[carstenranke]

Really one of the best Pixel 8 Pro reviews for photographers ever, hats off ! 
I share your view and usually I do prefer carrying my Pixel 8 Pro together with my GR IIIx to backpacking my full frame gear now...

Your intro was awesome! I am planning on using my P8P only on our upcoming trip to London and leaving my Canon and lenses at home. Makes me a little nervous, but your video makes me feel better about my decision

[ianboltron]

Keep doing what you're doing. This is a really unique format/perspective and it's done really well.

[JoeldelaCruz]

This is a very informative as well as entertaining vlog, Alex. Thank you!
I learned a lot about the Pixel 8 Pro. Appreciated your photography tips.

This is the exact kind video I was looking for. Thanks for your effort.

That intro was beautiful! Loved every moment

[shiyu]

Ok I'm about 30 seconds and I already send a like. This introduction is so beautiful...

[tomaszmiskiewicz]

Best photo review 've ever seen! Full of emotions and beautiful photos!

[benleonheart]

19:12 - of course it's underrated... everyone else is just praising the "other" ones, lol. Personally, I absolutely love shooting with my pixels. They're just exactly what I need from a camera-phone :)

I absolutely love using the manual controls to shoot long-exposure pictures and "light paint" even though they're limited to 16 seconds :D

Awesome video, btw! as usual

[eulehund]

The pictures look awesome 😮. You're really talented as a photographer and I love the tips you gave in-between. Did you get the december update with the video boost feature yet? Would love to see what you can do with it and what your opinion is about it in general.

I recently upgraded (about 1 month ago) from the Pixel 6 to the Pixel 8 Pro. So far I have been mostly impressed with the camera. It certainly isn't perfect yet, but it suits my needs quite well. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of camera features/upgrades we will see with future feature drops.

Thanks for the review and I plan to upgrade soon for my pixel 7 Pro

Hi mate. I'm shooting with the Pixel 8 pro for a couple of weeks now. I shoot semi professionally on Fuji and Sony Mirrorless and almost always carry one of them with me. So since I got this phone I'm getting some very good shots. So much so that for Socials the shots out of phone are more than good enough to leave my pro cameras at home. Obviously the pro cameras are better but I'm happy with the dynamic range and details, speed from standby to shooting etc. I am very impressed with the zoom lens. It's way better than I expected and I even find landscape shots with the zoom give lovely compression and plenty of detail what with the stabilisation etc. So I am very impressed indeed. I'm looking forward to having a go with some astro photography with it. I've seen some awesome looking astro shots from some you tubers. I am into wild camping and adventure photography and it means I can leave my heavier cameras at home now. And it's more water resistant than my pro cameras. I've been impressed with the high bit rate video also and the audio recording quality. It's a bit of a technical marvel really. Can't believe it performs as well as it does for a mobile phone.

Thank you so much for putting so much effort doing this review, really love the pixel phone 😊

[MichaelBTech]

Wow, this is really good! Pixel 8 Pro camera is really good and this video inspired me to take more photos.

[gilleojax]

Great video Alex. I currently have the P8P and love it. I normally just use auto move when trying to capture images. After watching this I think I'll use the Pro mode a little more. I definitely like the vlog style of the video.

[gmemo]

Great video, I've decided to upgrade to the 8 Pro from my 7 Pro, your video helped a lot. I do plan to get the 256GB model and keep it much longer. Thanks!

[Borystillsame]

I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO KEEP DOING MORE BRO

[danvander-ark]

Bought it about a month ago and I love the Pixel 8 pro! Thanks for this video
