Ratings and reviews

I can't say that I've really enjoyed this camera. There is an audible clicking sound when I transition between lenses (Pixel 9 Pro), and the transition is really poor. It shakes and rattles as it zooms in and out, which I've never seen on an iPhone. And the amount of settings that are thrown at you at once is overwhelming. I really think this app, and the overall camera experience on this phone, needs an overhaul.

Pixel 9 Pro Portrait mode used to be good...now needs a lot of work. And I know is color preference, but I think the color of the photos needs to be a little bit warmer.. I will recommend the default WB to be more towards the warm side, specially indoors. I always have to move the slider around 4300 K. And photos on the shadows loose a lot of details.

On first day, using pixel9pro, it took a VR PHOTO, works properly while viewing it. But, by the very next day, that option for "VR photos" was taken away.. since the vr function for the ONE photo taken, still works properly today. I gotta say hhmmmmm!!!! What excuse?? Why take away the ability to use a function that the phone is clearly still capable of doing?? They don't have time to explain anything beyond the monthly charges.
