Possible to take better photos with ASUS Rog Phone 2

[MCube74]

I came across a video on YouTube which shows how we can take better photos with the Rog Phone 2 using the Google Camera.

What are your thoughts?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I've seen several of these comparisons, and I often prefer the stock camera images over the Gcam images. The ones of the toy car and phone in that video are prime examples.

I suggest learning manual controls. Even if you don't use it in normal shooting, understanding what's going on with settings will help you take better photos. Remember, only you know what kind of photo you want, not some random programmer that never met you. Because of that, auto modes can be hit and miss, and understanding manual controls will allow you to quickly adjust for those times auto mode isn't working for you.

We need to make a camera thread, the photos from this phone are actually good without gcam

Lol. They are? The camera on this phone blows.

This phone struggles a lot in low light without gcam, tested both night mode on stock vs gcam

No ois, it will never be good.

In good lighting it does much better than what I would have expected, and compared to my iPhone 11pro they are not horrible. Now taking photos at night that's a different story .

Lol. iPhone 11 and rog2 in daylight? No contest. Rog2 looks like Nexus 4.

OIS is over-hyped anyway for a phone. The range of motion to correct isn't very big with such a small sensor. I've seen a test video of the electronic stabilization, and it worked extremely well.

What do you think nightsight does? It uses ois in nightshots for better images. You have no clue. Move along.

I just uploaded a couple photos, I'm no photographer but these are pretty good.

From https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/see-light-night-sight/

If your subject moves during the capture, Night Sight can adapt to prevent a modest amount of motion from ruining the shot. Instead of capturing one bright and blurry photo, Night Sight captures an equal amount of light over a burst of many photos that are dark but sharp. By merging this burst, Night Sight prevents motion blur and brightens the photo, giving you a bright and sharp photo.

As you were saying?

That's not true I have a pixel 1 with no OIS and it's fine in night mode

My V20 has it and I can get maybe a notch slower shutter speed than without. Not much difference. If it was something like Pentax's full frame DSLR, that gives 5 stops of shake reduction, that would be a big difference.
