A lot of my time right now goes into taking your feedback in this question and taking pictures of my own to confirm which posts that are actually on to something and which ones that are just angry because they think it has gotten worse.
So far my observations are that there is indeed a clear difference between Pie and Q when it comes to HDR++ mode. For all other modes, there are minor differences at best. You have to look for them so there's no way you can remember that it used to be so much better. I have the proof in front of me that this is not the case and I have no reason to lie about it since we want our camera to be as good as possible.
I have also observed that our noise reduction is more aggressive now compared to FW .174 (Q Is no different from .191). Now noise reduction is a complicated thing. It's not like playing around in photoshop. This is about teaching the AI to do the right choices for specific scenes.
I'll get back to you once I have more info and thank you for finding the difference in HDR++

I'm not sure if thats possible but theres no way we can choose the amount of noise reduction we want?
Or at least let us shoot Raw photos in Auto Mode. I think that could manage the issue somehow.
And last but not least, i know this is a delicate topic but please don't forget to check what is preventing Gcam from working. Someone already posted a log about it. I really miss those Night Sight photos since i updated to 10 ?

Very sad indeed but unfortunately I can't help if you bought it in another country. I wish it didn't have to be like this but we can't afford to offer world wide warranty on our phones with the current margin.

All future discussions regarding the camera will have to take place in the thread below. This way it will be easier for us to communicate with you since there are too many threads discussing the same subject. This thread is now closed.
