LG's Steadycam: The most underrated feature of the G8 that's not being marketed? - LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion

it's hard to find comparisons between the LG G8 STABILIZED 4k videos vs Iphone vs S10+ vs Gopro 7 etc. , but what from what I used so far, it essentially almost replaces a gimbal. Especially when this feature works for the ultrawide cam as well.
I'm not sure why LG is so silent on this feature, because it's alot better than G7 and before's steadycam videos.

4k 60fps super steady on my V50. Both lenses.
Here are some examples

I was expecting to have this feature available with today's update on my Sprint LG G8, but no, just security update again. :\

They advertised it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J9TSq1UDhg

P20 pro vs Xperia XZ2 vs Razer Phone

Anyone have experience for comparison with these phones?
I've got an offer of $750 for my p20 pro right now. I can get a razer phone for $450 or $540 for an XZ2
Worth switching?
Why would u wanna do that ???
I seriously considered the XZ2 Premium.. but it didn't have the I/R blaster so I can control the televisions. And it doesn't hook up via HDMI to the monitor, Sony deliberately limited that feature.
My phone is hooked up to the monitor and I'm using it like a desktop right now. My actual desktop has been off for two weeks, I have no use for it anymore. It's incredible, the EMUI 8.1 is awesome!
I don't know much about Razer, but the camera isn't that great from what I've read.

How are you hooking it up to a monitor?
I also didn't realize the phone had an IR blaster. That is enough to make me stick with it until the LG V40 comes out(depending on the camera it has)

This is what I use to hook up to the monitor... https://www.amazon.com/USB-Adapter-Tuwejia-HDMI-Projection/dp/B077X991V7
It is incredible, I love it so much. I did the same with the LG V20 but it simply mirrored the screen over. The P20 Pro is like a desktop.. no bulky fonts. I am in love already.
I had the LG V20 before the P20 Pro.. and it had the I/R blaster. The V30 didn't have it anymore so I didn't look forward to the V40 which more likely doesn't have it either.

Does it support 4k output or is it limited to 1080p?
Unfortunately, it is limited at 1080p (1920 x 1080) and I have a Samsung 4K monitor. The LG V20 went up to 2K (2560 x 1440). However, the V20 didn't recharge, almost always losing charge, with the adapter while the P20 Pro recharges quickly! I watched it go from 96% to 100% within 10 minutes despite heavy use.

The P20 Pro is undoubtedly the best of the three phones. Ignore the other two phones. I have had Sony devices too.

I like to buy the best photo phone - is P30 Pro for me?

I like to buy the best photo phone - is P30 Pro for me?
I don't care for nothing like NFC and so on....
HELLO
Do You think P30 Pro is now the best photo making phone?
Is it also the best video making phone? Cause in videos Samsung tand to be the king here
I have Samsung Galaxy S8, will I be happy with:
1) photos of P30 Pro
2) videos of P30 Pro
?
How about the world situation with Huawei Phones?
I don't know anything about it. Shall I be calm and go head buy the phone?
S10+ makes worse pics than P30Pro in my opinion
Ive had this phone for over two weeks. I think the photo quality is good in most conditions. Then again I'm coming from a oneplus 6t. As for video the Sony xperia 1 seems to be the best gathered from reviews. I would say this is the best vetsitile camera. Low light conditions and 10x zoom no other phone can compare. Day to day shot this phone has impressed me. For me personally I bought this phone for battery life and camera and the fact performance is just as good if not better then top flagships
Photo quality is great, but battery life is amazing
I came from a S9+ and honestly... In a overall situation, I think that my old phone took better pics with the GCam app... The sharpness was higher, especially from pics of people.
In video, I also prefer the Samsung. When I try to record a video, the focus is in the most of time searching for a focal point, even if is in it face!
Isn't that P30 PRO is a bad phone, but in overall I prefer the S9+ with GCam.
You can only record videos in 4k 30 FPS which is a bummer. If you want the best video making phone, I'd suggest LG V40 or V50 (V40 has a limit of like 10 minutes in 4k 60FPS, not sure about the V50 though). Otherwise you can wait for the upcoming Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. Those phones should have 4K60FPS recording.
As for photos, the P30 can definitely take some amazing pics and has a great night mode (although it doesn't work for selfies like Pixel's Night Sight. Just a small thing to note.)

GCam is truly magical, I wish it was possible to port it for Kirin devices.
Im a mate20x owner but i can that all Huawei phones are extremely inconsistencd when it comes to taking photos. I think the main issue is the discrepancy between the viewfinder and the final photos. Most of the the times the picture will have diffferent exposure than the viewfinder and that will introduce tons of issues when taking point and shoot photos.
Also, the skin tones is really bad and seems to target Asian audience, i wish there was a way to edit them like similar to selfies.
Tldr, highly inconsistent software that you cant depend on when taking point and shoot photos.

Switching to Ultrawide during video recording

Hello! I just recently switch phones from the LG V30 to the V40, everything is great except I can't switch from Main cam to Ultrawide cam while recording video. I do that all the time on the V30 and just disappointed the V40 doesn't seem to have that feature. Anybody know if that's possible? Or is there a V30 camera app port? Thanks!
I really miss that too! It's a shame that lg have done this where every other phone can switch lens while recording
Any solution? V30 camera port?
That's an intriguing question. I know of a plethora of Gcam ports but have yet to see one for the V30 camera.
There's the V50 camera that's available but idk if it will do what you want...

Whatsapp video OIS ?

Hi all, OIS or Eis not working while video recording over whatsapp, any way to enable it ? Thanks.
First of all there is no ois for Rog phone 2, then coming to eis, it's of no use. So you won't feel any difference even though there is eis. If you have shaky hands it's better buy some OnePlus phones. They have ois in almost all phones.

Question GT NEO 3 vs GT 2. Which would be better considering the pros and cons of GT2.

Hi Everyone. I am planning to buy one of these devices.
Talking about GT2, saw multiple reviews saying that there is issue with mic quality while recording video in GT2. I also saw a review video, where it sounded muffled. Some are also mentioning about display quality issue. Good thing is Natural colours in Photos, and OIS in 4K recording.
NEO 3 cons, as per my research have been, heating while recording video, and High saturation in photos. Also no OIS in 4K video recording.
Please suggest your opinion. Both are coming at approx same prices in my country.
I would say better to go with GT 2 because of the 3 year update cycle, unless video mic recording is a major concern for u.
Also ther is the Snapdragon in the GT 2. Even if dimensity is said to be better , I think apps are more optimized for Snapdragon due to there market share.
And there are like intel on PC. It's always the safest choice
