Is the smaller Pixel worth getting as much as the larger one?

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the video camera in the Pixel 7. I had a Pixel 4A which i traded in for this one hoping for better quality videos for my social media where i make miniature figurines and film the process. Boy did i make a huge mistake...
The default video setting is extremely dark and needs to be adjusted manually before each take, OR have extremely bright lightin, but even then, most times the camrea will go automatically dark and shadowy for absolutely no reason!
Macro videos don't have the ability to zoom as well as the Pixel 4A even, everything around the center of the screen is completely blurred out and i cannot focus on small details of my creations as well as i used to with the old phone.
There is also a huge problem with integration with other apps:
In CapCut - the videos are dark even if i chose to film in HDR and different frame rates, it's like the videos are uploaded there in their original form...
Instagram: I sent a video to a friend via instagram chat and once it was uploaded it was near black and white - completely pale, no colors! I think it's because i VERY slightly adjusted the brightness of the video.
I have no way to know what the video will look like on other phones because mine keeps adjusting everything, but once it's uploaded there's no way to know!!!
And it has nothing to do with the phone's brightness, the videos are all just messed up and out of focus and it's ruining my creative process, i walk around sad all the time because of this stupid phone.
