    1000mm? sounds expensive, unless f/11 with cheap glass and plastic barrel, but picture clarity says would be otherwise

    I’m glad they let you take that photo from… your prison cell?

    Joking, very impressed how clear that text is.

    This makes me wish I could get an aftermarket lens for the camera I bought a few months ago. Only issue is I presume this was probably shot with a professional camera and not an average “family photo” quality camera.

      I think you’re very much underestimating your “family photo” camera. There’s lots of consumer grade cameras with lens systems available that will blow your mind

        For someone who hasn’t owned a camera outside of a phone before, it is impressive, but I’m also admittedly a little jealous of stuff like this. All I got is a supposed 15x optical zoom and supposed 12.1 megapixel images.

    Ach der schlne Humboldthain… die Treppenstufen da hoch waren Bestandteil meiner Joggingstrecke während des Studiums. 🙃

          Yeah everything is wobbly (but usually legible). This was a 2 drinks in shit post rage bait tbh but I do still enjoy the phone camera 🤷

          Thank you for your service, I couldn’t be bothered debugging the image upload from boost so I gave up and shared via the convenient option 🤷 I know I’m supposed to hate Google more but I don’t have enough energy to decouple fully from the conveniences

            Looks like there’s a ton of upscaling going on. It’s the phone generating what’s probably there based on the little information it gets rather than an image of what’s actually there. It can be impressive, but there will also be many cases where it looks like an AI-generated image because for the most part it is.

      For people without that phone, context why that’s silly. The Google Pixel 10 does have an impressive telephoto lens (for a phone) of about 110mm equivalence, although it’s nowhere near what we’re seeing here.

      What’s not impressive is its gimmick: anything above 30x is actually AI enhanced up to 100x. The photo you shared likely used that enhanced feature to unblur, like text. You really really wanna piss off some people with this comment, lol.

        It’s just the built in camera zoom; I was never suggesting it’s an alternative to a real camera lens but for a phone the results are still pretty impressive, even if they’re achieved with local AI or whatever

          Actually they did put a real telephoto lens in it, which I think is a real zoom up to 5x? But yes, digital zoom is most things.

            I bought a Huawei P30pro in 2016. Now I’ve got a Samsung S24 basic model. This is garbage in comparison, despite being almost a decade newer. The camera AI isn’t bad, and the video quality is great, but the optics are just fucking terrible.

            My Huawei was actually useful and the I felt the camera was pretty adequate even for niche long term exposure shots that you’d normally definitely want a tripod and an SLR to take. Okay granted the stabilisation on the S24 is probably better for like hand held low light, but everything else is worse.

            The Huawei had an optical 10x zoom (and up to 50x with digital but who cares about digital). Very impressive macro photos, I didn’t even need a loop to check the trichomes on my ganja.

            Had to sacrifice a soul a little with prolly being on some Chinese spy lists now because of all the Huawei accounts I have but eh, it is what it is.

            I was a tiny bit considering maybe getting the Pura 80 Ultra. It’s almost got a 10x zoom again. Idk why they went back on it. Too expensive to make? Honestly in the past 10 years not a lot of phones with that sort of zoom.

              Yes, the optics on phones have a very non-linear curve over the decades, we’ve had great lenses predating Androids & iPhones.

              All the dev goes into sensors & postprocessing (while the development of lenses is mostly in miniaturization).
