I was so impressed by your video and the LG G4 that I bought one right after I watched it.
Keep up the good work
Thanks.

I just bought the LG V10. This camera is insanely good! The manual video mode is amazing.

I have the G4 and love it immensely! your video was really good and not all snobby like a lot of professional photographers are!

Hi we liked your pictures taken by LG G4. Thanks for posting this comparison video and special thanks to your friend too!!

[isaac_a]

I'm still happy that your back making videos man.

Great idea to review a phone camera like this! Very original and refreshing, instead of seeing phone vs phone comparisons.
Keep it up, Armando!

I think we're still a bit away from professionals being able to use them. Primary due to just zoom alone. But for most shots its incredible what the G4 and the S6 can do.

Very impressive that a tiny camera does almost as good as a Dslr camera (I personally thought it outperformed the dslr)

And phone cameras are always getting better every year. Won't be soon till Lg cameras are just as good.

Here goes Armando again..changing the game! Nice one man!!

Armando, nice job. Really nice that you took the time and did this comparison!

I really enjoyed the video and it was a nice touch that your friend came along and helped you. He was kind and he is also a professional photographer which is a great addition. I was hoping you do more comparisons, like closeups or long exposures and night photos and show it us one picture at time, at the end of the video probably after the discussion.
Also, something else I would like to point out is that at 7:13 I agree with you. I understand what you say. You were right actually, but what can you do. At least, one should not take advantage of this and show up on a wedding with a "crappy" camera that looks like a DSLR just to make higher profits because of the reduced cost one has with not spneding much in equipment. Or in the other way around, one must not take a really high end phone and shoot a video in a private area, so he could make money out of his project without paying loyalties, just because his high end equipment was disguised as low-end. Aside from perception there's also the ethics.

You made it way too easy for the G4. In bright daylight any smartphone camera can take great pictures. We get that the G4 has a great camera, but you were making it too easy. You could have tested the low light performance and the dynamic range. That's where it gets interesting.
And with a fair comparison the G4 wouldn't stand a chance against a DSLR. He was shooting sports. Sports photographers use tele lenses. Have fun cropping those smartphone pictures. You talked about wedding photography. Good luck getting flashes to work with the G4. It is raining? Too bad the G4 isn't weather sealed.
Yes, the G4 has a nice camera, but please stop pretending it would be something close to professional camera gear.

Wow, some of the G4s shots look sharper than the Canon. Great video, thanks for this.

[Itaintyouitsme]

Awesome video. The G4 is a camera phone beast running the greatest OS ever conceived.

[collinbanks]

Great review. Fresh take on the smartphone camera comparison, really enjoyed it!

I have had the lg g4 for about 2 weeks now. I really like it. Im not a photography expert by any means so I am still trying to learn how to use the camera in manual mode. Auto mode is pretty good by itself but a lot of photography people in the know are very impressed by the camera's manual features. I hope to learn more about it to be able to use the manual features in the correct settings. I'm still a noob when it comes to ISO, shutter speed, etc. Nice video!

[treydaypnw]

Wow dude Great Vid! I actually just picked up a brown leather back G4 and I absolutely Love the Camera on it. Also you made some really Good points at the end of the video! I'm now Subscribed to your Channel 👍

Not bad for just point and click. For us non professionals that just want to have good quality photos to capture those precious moments...this is perfect! It's was great to see those photo comparisons to see how close they were...but with the critical eye of Rommel I wouldn't have even seen those subtle differences! Btw....we have purchased some of Rommel ' s work at Motolyric...the photos he took of our race cars were amazing...and we have the prints up for display at our shop!

[tonynooijens]

Pre-ordered one here in the Netherlands, can't wait to get my hands on it. The camera is the reason why I am getting it, my current Mororola Nexus 6 really sucks (videofocus problems) and bad quality pictures. My sister got her G4 yesterday and really likes it! Thanks for the video :)

[Tubekeny]

it would be interesting if your friend used all the features on the phone to see how much better the pictures are when you use the options offered. Iike having the options but sometimes struggle to use them well.
