That pixel analogy made the concept of camera sensor sizes make more sense to me. Great video!

MKBHD: "All smartphone cameras have fixed apertures."

Any real photographer will tell you that the camera which produces the most accurate results is also the most preferable. You can always edit a photo to get a desired look, but you want to make sure that any image you're working with was accurate to begin with.

I am surprised he did not do a review on the LG V10 yet

[TechSource]

lol loving those skits, great vid Marques.

[tinuthomas]

The intro was so good, I had to watch it more than once

[MrNubshow]

A similar thing can be said about all aspects of smartphones. More does not always equal better.

More cores does not always signify better performance
Higher resolution does not always signify a better display
More RAM does not always signify better multitasking (stock android vs touchwiz)
Bigger battery does not always mean longer lasting

The amount of people that say "my phone has x amount of megapixels so it's got a really good camera!"

To which I reply "well, my phone has a 20mp camera (Xperia Z3 Compact), and so does my DSLR (Canon 5D MK III), does my phones photos look the same as my DSLRs photos?"...

[TEDdeMedici]

And then you get a smudge on the lense of your $850 that no matter what you can't clean off. And there goes all the specs in the world the photos are ruined. ...

This guy makes me love technology and phone information even more, he has a gr8 sense of humour and explains everything so clearly and understandable dan many others on youtube, so i am always tuned in to get some gr8 knowledge, keep up the good work, bro

lol Marques essentially makes the rules of reviewing tech online. Marques is my bible.

Everyone around me seems to judge the camera based on MegaPixels alone and it's super annoying. They'll see 2 phones and say this one is better just because of that. I do prefer more pixels but it's not the only thing in the camera.

Thank you for making this *MKBHD*! There are way too many people that just think more megapixels means better camera. Smartphone cameras are getting a lot better, but due to restrictions of the sensor size in them, it will be forever before they can produce the same quality as a DSLR for example :)

[SimpleCartoon]

damn, them Casey Neistat style intros though... Nice work Marques.

[dogepocalypse]

lets admit it; the intro track was awesome

[litebullb]

i actually hate the design of the nexus 6p so much

[mattworkshere]

Basically in this video I talk a lot without saying anything. Thanks for watching and please tunes in to the next video; Peace.

"So at he end of the day its YOU who will tell how good a smart phone camera is just based on how much you like the pictures."

#BEST.

Thanks Marques
