Pixel 2 vs. PowerShot SX710HS.

I'm only a hobbyist photographer. I don't have a really nice camera, just a point & shoot that I picked mainly for its optical zoom. And I'm still astonished that I can often get better pictures out of the tiny lens on my phone.

This is from over the weekend, my wife's as Whitney Frost from Agent Carter. The phone picture is so much sharper, and the Pixel 2 finally gets the color balance better too.

The camera on the Pixel 2 is the reason I switched from iPhone! Nice shot and nice makeup work from your wife!

@salmon_cannon Thank you on both counts!

And yeah, I've been really impressed with the Pixel 2 camera. Not just the daylight photos, but it does surprisingly well with night shots too. And it's fast enough that the burst & motion modes don't seem to sacrifice much.

I keep meaning to look for an alternate camera app that will let me do long exposures.
