Google has announced new camera upgrades courtesy of a software update it will roll out to Pixel smartphones starting today, which promise faster low-light shots and broader editing features.
Google has announced that Night Sight, its low-light photography feature that is commonly used for astrophotography applications, is getting video support. While it is technically a video, more accurately it is a stitched animation that is generated from a burst of still photos.
Ever since Google debuted Night Sight, people have marveled at how capable the computational photo technology has proven to be. But how does it compare to good old fashion sensor size? Andrew of the YouTube channel Denae & Andrew decided to find out.
Google already took smartphone photography to a new level when they released their Night Sight mode, but it looks like they're planning to improve low-light smartphone photography even further by adding some sort of astrophotography mode to the upcoming Pixel 4.
One area where Apple has been lagging behind its Android competition is low-light photography. Google's NightSight and the Night Modes on other Android devices have been blowing away reviewers, so Halcyon Mobile stepped in and developed Neural Cam Night Photo: a third-party app that brings these capabilities to the iPhone.
Google Pixel 3 smartphone has a Night Sight feature that uses AI to capture "mind-blowing" photos in near darkness. Photographer Pierre T. Lambert wanted to see how the tech stacks up against a pro-grade camera, so he did a low-light shootout pitting it against the Sony a7R III.
Google's new Pixel 3 and 3XL smartphones are packed with new AI camera features, including one called Night Sight that lets you shoot natural-looking photos without a flash in near darkness. The first reviews are starting to emerge, and the technology is blowing people's minds.
