Google Pixel 8 Pro Camera Review

Google Pixel phones have always been renowned for their seamless integration of hardware and software, taking the camera experience to the next level. The Pixel 8 Pro continues this tradition with its full array of 48 MP sensors, addressing previous complaints and improving consistency in photo quality.

One of the standout features of the Pixel 8 Pro is its ability to deliver fantastic photos with improved consistency across various camera lenses. Whether you're capturing wide-angle shots or zooming in for detailed close-ups, the Pixel 8 Pro serves as a reliable point-and-shoot companion.

The software processing on the Pixel 8 Pro further enhances photo balance, although some users may find the images slightly computer-generated if viewed on computer monitor or zoomed in. However, for those seeking more control, the option to shoot in Raw format is available.

The camera app on the Pixel 8 Pro has undergone significant changes, integrating manual controls seamlessly. This provides users with a more intuitive and customisable photography experience. In addition to manual controls, the Pixel 8 Pro offers AI photo modes such as Face Unblur and motion modes, adding a touch of fun and creativity to your photography endeavours.

A notable addition to the Pixel 8 Pro is the Magic Editor, which utilises regenerative AI to allow users to highlight, move, or resize subjects within a photo. This innovative feature enhances scene building and adds a unique touch to your compositions.

When it comes to video performance, the Pixel 8 Pro has made significant improvements, addressing previous concerns. Enhanced white balancing and stabilisation contribute to smoother and more professional-looking videos.

The Pixel 8 Pro's Video Boost feature applies computational processing to videos, resulting in improved low-light performance. While it may not surpass the video capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro, the Pixel 8 Pro holds its ground and effectively tackles low-light scenarios. In terms of low-light photography, the Pixel 8 Pro excels by capturing ample light, producing impressive results. During our testing, we did encounter some flaring issues in low-light with the Pixel 8 Pro, which were not as prevalent in the Pixel 6 Pro. This could potentially be attributed to the glass or coatings used on the lenses.

Overall, the Google Pixel 8 Pro offers excellent value for money, especially when compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It showcases impressive performance and has one of the best camera performance for a mobile phone, making it a compelling choice for photography enthusiasts on the go.
