Video quality - Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Honor 8 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Managed to review the video I took over the weekend. It's decent, but was a bit shaky. Then I realised, Stabilisation wasn't turned on by default. On video audio, I noticed the subject which was standing in front (giving a talk), audio captured was soft. I guess there is no mic point forward? But the sound from the sides... They were very loud.
The talk was at an open area in the park. I could hear dogs barking and crows... But the speaker's voice was very soft though.

Hi, i have Honor 8 pro since 2 weeks, i have one doubt, whether the 4K video recording has EIS or not? if not will the future update will get?

4k doesn't have EIS right now. It will come with a future update.

videos are ok in good light condition.
wereas its worst in low light condition
Good for the price
Could have been better, but considering the price its better
Video quality is good. Can be even improved using other 3rd party apps.
Pretty nice bit rate for a phone this much cheap. Although, it should have least come with software stabilizer.
Video quality is good. Up to par with most phones.
Not bad at all

Is there someone that can show me the difference between the gcam and the stock video with the essential phone? I am interested in one and I am debating on whether or not I should get one
The video quality is good but not great compared to mainstream phones. Stabilization is terrible and not many camera or video features to play with. The only distinctive feature this phone have over all the other phone is the optional 360° degree camera which is super fun and it gets a lot of praises from my friends and family.
Stabilization isn't as bad as I expected. Builtin google edit stabilization is a necessity and much appreciated.
6 minutes of rain in 4K. Shot on Essential. Google Chrome will play the video in 4K.

Guys, could you please comment on audio quality on videos made with this device. On few video reviews people mentioned that sound is kind of choppy or glitchy. Looks like noise reduction isn't utilized, when Mi A1 shoots video. As workaround they mention that it can be solved by shooting video by a 3rd party app (FV-5).
I'm thinking to buy this device, but this bug is holding me from it.

Yes it is
Take a look here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8qgfwQwRbI
Then see this example too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ncyEPZIds
For me, video seems way more pixelated than it should be when zooming, even in 4K. 4x zoom should be 1080p and it doesn't look like it is, and I can't see an option to use the zoom lens either. And 4K isn't selected by default.
Considering the lack of EIS and OIS it's not good, but not really bad. Avoid shooting videos in low light - they will be awful and they will have a lot of frames dropped.
Without any kind of EIS or OIS, MiA1 is not ideal for video recording.

I tried using the GCam HDR+ with its EIS and to be honest.. I have to really hold the phone as steady as possible and also in walking slowly, the end result is a bit much better than using the camera app by xiaomi..
the quality overall improved a lot, but for usable footage I guess a dedicated gimbal is needed
Pixelation is algo a problem for me. I think that the video is a little bit dark too.
Even using the Google Camera, it's something better but it's not good for me. At least the EIS helps to stabilize the video but the quality is far from good.

Man, I think the same thing. It's very weird to see the video so pixelated even using Google Camera. Sometimes it really looks like a low resolution video upscaled to a more resolution.

Go to setting>audio and check the disable Automatic Gain Control. Now record will have stereo audio.
any idea about 60fps ??

Huawei P30 Pro camera samples

Think there needs to be a thread for photos taken on the P30 Pro, given how the key feature of this phone is the camera(s).
I've also created a Google Photos gallery that people can share photos on (and video). It's non-commercial, and anyone that posts a photo obviously retains their own copyright.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/crLDcUSr9mxgJCSV8
So far the gallery has some examples of the various zoom levels (and wide angle), low-light and some very impressive shots of the sun. I am really loving the flexibility of the camera in just about all conditions.
I can't wait to see photos from others.
camera only good at zoom is a camera half good, in a perfect world it would do miracles with video aswell if it used Snapdragon 855
Any chance someone can put some super-slow-mo videos up please?
Id like to see someone post a sample too.
I saw a video on YouTube and slowMo looked absolutely horrible. Also not as slow as the phone it was compared to. Ive watched so many videos on the p30 that I doubt I could find the video again.

This 960fps slow motion is fame with Huawei
Extremely bad quality besides s10 plus
I saw the video too
---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------
I dont like the over sharpness at night with night mode
Pixel xl 3 night sight is way better in term of normal details and Colours
Huawei needs to work hard to fix image processing with night mode and faces details
Sorry, but these photos do nothing for me in terms of showing what the phone is capable of. Many (most?) of the photos are shaky or way too soft even at ISO50. I do like how the colors look tho, especially in the night photos.
Here's a new video that was posted comparing the slow Mo
https://youtu.be/qffBzSC7DmY
Hopefully the p30 improves!
Here's a few samples of mine, i had the P30 Pro since launch day and it's a camera champ. But i don't recommend you go beyond the 5x optical focal length or it won't be pretty. The noise reduction in jpeg's is a bit too strong for my taste, i hope Huawei tones it down. However the raw files are very nice to work with.
1. Flower is shot in raw at iso 50 indoors.
2. Church shot using 16mm ultrawide angle.
3, 5x at the church clock, shot raw.
4. 16mm indoors at chuch.
5. Building shot at 5x in raw.
6. Hotel interior at 16mm ultrawide angle, shot in jpeg.
7. Test of ToF sensor and fake bokeh at water fountain.
8. 5x at outdoor hotel pool 50 meters above ground. Shot from below.

Thanks for sharing. That is a shame, but still better than the shockingly bad P20 Pro that wasn't actually 960fps...
I feel this will be a great camera replacement phone for my Mate 20 Pro of course until the Mate 30 Pro comes out... I wonder if Huawei will completely ditch 3D face and notch... will be interesting. The Mate 20 Pro is a great phone... brought me back from the Apple Darkside. I can't see Apple being able to keep up with Samsung and Huawei (even Xiaomi for that matter) in the top camera phone space, anymore.... IMO. They have just lost so much ground to make it all up with their incremental updates.... I think android has brought me back with better technology, we'll see if it keeps me.
Courtyard
First photo taken in our condominium courtyard.
Sorry to be the bad guy, but there are no real details. It suffers from the well known Huawei processing. This phone is good for the Instagram generation, but it takes bad photos. Not true to life.
Took delivery of mine today. Not impressed at all - the usual overprocessed, smeary Huawei ****e that's probably great for those who like to mess about with DNG and Lightroom but as an auto shooter is behind the pack for normal photos VS pretty much all the other flagships.
Hopefully the promised software update with camera improvements will reach my device soon and blow me away. Already kind of pissed that my dual SIM Amazon device is actually single SIM but to be behind on a supposedly critical update already is not helping my feelings towards this phone.
Any video samples? For me video is more important than photos and it seems the Kirin CPU can not handle video with high enough bitrate, I see occasional stutter too. One reviewer mentioned that 4K video did appear like it was actually 1440p upscaled. One other review did check video bitrate and framerate and both did appear low (I think it was 27Mbps and 28fps for a 4K video).
I wonder if these things could be tweaked by modifying camera app, to try increase bitrate.
EDIT: The video review showing P30 Pro video bitrate, framerate and panning stutter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LaeCzEMEgw
So many reviews out there seem to be sponsored, looking for real-life video examples.

I have the opposite experience. Samples found online wasn't that impressive, but I quite like how the photos I take (in daylight so far) look., even when zoomed in. It's definitely not as sharp as say, Pixel 3XL, but very good.
I agree. The dog looks great. I'm also using a Galaxy S10+ and though I love the phone, you can barely take a pic of an animal because it smudges and smooths everything so badly. My P30 will be here soon and I'm encouraged by those pics.

My advice is to not get too excited. The examples given are in searing sunlight and even then there's some smearing and oversharpening. In the case of the dog, it's just sat still - not a challenging scenario for any phone.
Apparently some people in the UK have had the new update so I'm hoping to get it over the weekend.
I currently also have an S9 and an iPhone XR and the photos from both of those devices are better so far (with the exception of low light shots).

Maybe you should post side-by-side comparison shots so we can see how better those phones' cameras are.

I want to get the 124 update before I do much more testing but here for example is a crop of some daffodils in the sunlight from the XR and P30 Pro (no AI mode).
I wish I had the .124 update before family day at the zoo but still impressed with these 10x zoom. My S10 could definitely not do this. Keep in mind that lion was through streaky zoo glass.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Realme X2 Pro come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Here are a few quick pics, I think for the price point, the Realme X2 Pro does very well indeed .......:good:
what about nightshots or darker rooms.
Took this
I am not impressed with the 64mp landscape pictures. There is too much blurring and washout of tree branches and grasses.
Is there any way to collect the 64mp raw files?
What do yo think about the ultra wide lens?
Do you like the photos that it produces?

That's great and what about the night shots?
https://s19.directupload.net/images/191218/nyywdky5.jpg
I think the stock camera does great of work
i did this picture yesterday
I had Mate 20 Pro before X2 Pro and I have to say that Mate takes better pictures for sure. Especially zoom and night mode is better. But the X2 Pro is snapping photo instantly no waiting like in Mate which sometimes take some time to process a photo. Another thing is that X2 Pro has way better video quality. Thanks to 4K 60FPS. I really like the smooth transitions between main and telescope lens when zooming. There is some stuttering in Mate 20 Pro when zooming (switching lenses). Overall very happy. I would take better video recording for a slightly worse photo-taking any day.
Compared against iPhone XR and photos looked way better in the x2 most of the time. Telephoto is on par with iphone X. Haven't compared wide angle lense against recent device but photos look OK, definitely better than on my old LG G5.
The noise reduction on stock camera is too aggresive. If we would be able to turn it off, the performance would be similar to gcam.
Few shots I took..
take it with Realme x2 pro this morning. best regards
Does Realme X2 pro supports Portrait mode on non human objects?

Fantastic Pics, Crorion. Just goes to show that it is the man not the device that clicks the pics. So much has been said about the camera quality on the x2 and I just ordered one. I was a little apprehensive. But you really made me happy. Thanks.
